## Plot

The bakery boys (Ian, Kyle & Jun) are seen working in the kitchen. Jun hears a noise coming from the drain that sounds like laughing, which scares him and makes him drop a plate on the floor. Ian & Kyle check up on him and Jun tells of the noise he heard, but Ian & Kyle don’t believe him and ask if someone really would be leaving in there...

Inside the drain, Egoping is seen back in her normal form, preparing to rise out from the ground. Using her trident, she brings her magic up through the ground. The bakery begins to shake, signaling a possible earthquake, as Sarah rushes into the kitchen to check up on the boys.

Romi is seen riding her bicycle into Harmony Town, but the shaking ground causes her bike to steer off course and she and the Teeniepings crash to the ground. With the Royal Teeniepings in a daze, Romi’s Teenieping Alert rings, and she grabs the Teeniepings heading for a safe place as the ground is starting to crack! Rising from the ground is a plant, growing giant flowers and vines; one of the flowers blooms to reveal Egoping herself!

To the shock of the Romi and the Royal Teeniepings, they ask who Egoping is. She introduces herself as a Teenieping who messes with people’s feelings and stirs up fights with her magic, and someone who should be familiar to Romi. Egoping reveals that she’s the one who was controlling Happying the whole time.

In a callback, it’s revealed that Egoping was the one who was seen as a seed inside Giggleping body before she turned back into Happying. Once she got out, she hid underground and collected more power to save herself. Happying then finds out that the voice who made her want to eat the Yummy Fruit and thus steal the Magic Catcher was Egoping’s, and she reveals that controlling Happying wasn’t difficult.

When asked about why she had done all this, Egoping reveals that she was the Forgotten Royal Teenieping, who got bored of living in the Emotions Kingdom and sought to make a life of her own. We cut back to a flashback of the Cube incident, where Giggleping is seen falling down with the other Teeniepings towards Earth, but she’s eventually saved by an unknown woman1 who tells her that the plan has worked, and that Giggleping must go to Earth and that she’ll follow her soon. Knowing the voice wasn’t hers, Happying assumes the voice was Egoping’s and asks why she had to do this to her4; Egoping instead says it was just her curiosity that drove Happying to do what she did.

But she puts that in the rearview since Egoping’s plan has worked the way it was intended, and now aims to focus on her ultimate goal: she wants to take Romi’s Magic Catcher and free the Teeniepings she’s caught and force them into building a kingdom of her own in Harmony Town. She targets Heartrose Bakery first and uses her magic to summon vines that break the windows open. The bakery staff runs out to try and figure out what’s going on, but a pair of vines wrap around Kyle and trap him. Egoping asks Kyle if he’s a Royal Guard, but Sarah sighs but manages to save him using her hair clip by leaping up, and cutting down the vines.

Sarah tells Kyle to get it together, as the rest of the bakery boys come to his aid. Sarah tells Romi to not worry about her or the boys, as they’ll find a way out, which makes Egoping believe that Romi has family by her side and unleashes her vines again. Sarah bites her ring just as they approach her, and she and the boys disappear. Egoping summons more vines with her magic trident that hover over the citizens of Harmony Town.

Marylou’s family is seen driving, while Marylou wonders where Romi is. Some vines pop out in front of them and they maneuver around them, but Marylou tells her dad to stop the car. She tells him to look after Luca while she takes her skateboard to find Romi.

The vines from Egoping’s flowers start to spray, and purple clouds start to cover the town, as the citizens all start to bicker with one another, and the cats even start to fight with one another over catnip! With everyone angry at one another, Egoping takes aim at the Magic Catcher. To prevent that from happening, Romi transforms with Heartsping into Princess Heart, and blocks the vines using her shield.

Dadaping, Gogoping & Chachaping step up and use their magic to try and stop Egoping’s attack by turning Dadaping’s magic book large and trapping Egoping. But just when they think they have her beat, Egoping breaks free from the book and fires another one of her vines, and ties up Dadaping, Gogoping & Chachaping, sucking them into one of the flowers.

Romi summons Dreamping & Blankping from their cubes for help; they race up the vines and use their magic on Egoping. For a moment it works as Egoping, as she starts to ask where she is and what’s going on, but she reveals she was faking it, and the vines trap Blankping & Dreamping and the flowers suck them in. Romi tries to save them using her magic, but a giant black orb from Egoping’s magic trident knocks her to the ground. Romi asks Lalaping for her guitar and transforms with her into Princess Melody. Wielding an air guitar now, she uses it to fire music notes at Egoping, but her vines block the impact and save her. As one last resort, Romi leaps out and tries to smash Egoping’s flower with the guitar, but she winds up shielding herself with her magic and knocking Romi to the ground.

Romi uses a shield to protect herself from the vines, and tells Happying she’s all she has to transform with. As a vine starts to creep up on Romi, she calls for her transformation for Princess Sunshine, but the vine appears from behind to knock the Magic Catcher out of her hands and into the grasp of Egoping!

Romi deforms back to her normal form, out of options, as a vine grabs Romi and pulls her in, while Heartsping, Lalaping & Happying try to hold on. Egoping admonishes Romi for having no magic talent, calling it an easy feat that she’s able to take the Magic Catcher and tells her to give up. As the Teeniepings hold on, Happying breaks down and starts to cry over the fact that this was her fault, and that she was foolish to bring Egoping here. Egoping tells Happying to give up since she can’t do anything now, but Happying looks down to her belly at her Royal Symbol

In a flashback, we see Happying receive her shield from Romi and thanks her, the two promising each other that they’ll be there for one another. Happying then tells Romi about the Royal Symbol on her belly; as heard from Dr. Monziu, the symbol contains the Royal Power inside. Happying promises Romi to use it whenever she’s in danger. Romi promises to practice her magic so that she can prevent that from happening, and the two embrace.

We cut back to the present Happying let go of Romi; Egoping takes notice and threatens to turn her back into Giggleping. Happying readies to use her Royal Power, and Romi tries to stop her, saying she’ll be put in danger. But Happying says goodbye to Romi and rushes up to Egoping to use it! Heartsping, Lalaping & Romi all call out to her as Egoping tries to figure out what’s going on.

Before Happying can use the power, a series of flashbacks that occurred from Happying’s time as Giggleping to now are seen, from the moment she first saw Romi, to being invited to the Teenieping carnival, seeing her cry, and even being saved by her... Romii screams out Happying’s name one last time, but Happying hugs Egoping, and an explosion goes off right before Romi’s eyes.

## Notes

1. ↑ It’s eventually revealed in “The Jewel Forest is Restored” that the woman was Jennie.
2. ↑ This implies Egoping was the one who turned into a seed and went inside the Yummy Fruit that Happying ate.
3. ↑ Find out more about it in “Happying’s Back.”
4. ↑ It’s unknown if this was Egoping’s voice or Jennie’s voice. We don’t completely get a reveal of who the woman was who told Giggleping this, but Jennie does reveal she had something to do with the incident (see note 1). Egoping just chooses to take responsibility for it to trick Happying, as well as mask the debut/intentions of Jennie until Season 2.
5. ↑ It’s unknown what Egoping means by the Forgotten Royal Teenieping, whether this means she was a Royal Teenieping before, or she was just designated as the Forgotten Teenieping because of either a previous incident, or because it was a label since she’s pure evil.
6. ↑ It’s unknown if it was just Happying’s curiosity that caused this; there may have been more things involved with Happying turning evil than Egoping reveals.
7. ↑ This may or may not mean that something similar has happened before in relation to the Emotions Kingdom, judging by the way Sarah sighs and says “Not again...”
8. ↑ This is essentially the same scene as in “Happying’s Back” but with the added mention of the purpose of the Royal Symbol from Happying.
