**Sam and Glossaryck's School for Pacifist Princesses** is the 3rd episode of the 1st season in this series.

## Plot synopsis

In this episode, Sam and Glossaryck try to train Aurora in self-defensive, and everything goes wrong, and they end up fighting a giant teddy bear.

## Overview

The episode begins with Sam opening his eyes and finding Aurora with an euphoric smile. She screams his name and he falls off the bed. Aurora shows Sam the gift she won from Glossaryck: a book about the history of her family called "Butterfly, A History". When Aurora begins to chatter euphorically about the book, Sam sighs because he knows she will not stop talking anytime soon. With a face of boredom, he listens to her ramble on as he brushes his teeth, has breakfast, rides the bus, eats lunch at the school cafeteria.

When they finally return home, Aurora comments that her greatest idol is Queen Etheria, the Knight, the first warrior princess of Mewni. Upon hearing this, Sam is confused. "How can a pacifist girl be a fan of a warrior?" Embarrassed, Aurora says that one thing has nothing to do with the other and rises to take a shower.

Glossaryck suddenly appears next to Sam, who gets scared for the second time. After a conversation, Glossaryck says he didn't bring Sam just to protect her, but also to teach her self-defense.

The next morning, it is Sam who awakens Aurora by surprise. In the backyard of the house, we have an intercalated Aurora training assembly, "Ant-Man" style. After a brief explanation of fencing, Sam throws a wooden sword to Aurora, who grabs it and almost falls backwards by the weight. On the second attempt, the sword hits her head. Sam then tries to teach her about close combat. He asks Aurora to punch a giant teddy bear. Sam tells her to punch it hard, and in the second punch, her hand sinks into the bear and back at her face. The bear still falls on top of her. "Next," says Sam. Glossaryck tells Aurora to use any attack spell on the bear. She shoots at the bear and a light envelops it. The three are looking expectantly, and when the light is gone, the bear is surrounded by flowers. From then on, it shows an evolution of Aurora training: she can handle the wooden swords easily, punch and kick the bear without hurting herself, and can damage it with her spells. The level of difficulty of the teddy bear increases as she evolves, moving from an inanimate bear to a bouncing bear in search of a tight embrace.

In the late afternoon, after another day of training, Aurora celebrates her evolution and asks Glossaryck and Sam to raise the bear's difficulty level, but they say level 5 is enough for her. Normally, Aurora wouldn't protest and respect the decision, but what she thinks in this case is, "It's just a teddy bear, what can go wrong?".

But when Aurora descends into the yard in the middle of the night and raises the difficulty to level 11, everything goes wrong. Aurora and Sam face the killer teddy bear. At one point in the battle, we see the Diaz sleeping peacefully while a war takes place in their backyard. After destroying the bear, Aurora apologizes to Sam, however, he says that everything is fine and that he is happy that she is evolving. She asks him to help her sort out the mess before her grandparents wake up.

The episode ends with Glossaryck watching through the window, smiling and saying, "She's Star's daughter, after all," and then we see a picture next to Aurora's desk hugging her mother.
