## Story

Continuing where the previous episode left off, Gwendolyn has returned to the Pastel Palace from the Cursed Princess Club. She is repairing Aurelia's broken pearl necklace and thinking about what Aurelia said to her the night before, which she couldn't stop dreaming about. She thinks that what Aurelia told her - that she wasn't cursed, just ugly - was still hurtful. It wasn't as bad as the first time she heard it, though, because she had the rest of the club's love and support, something Aurelia would no longer get to have after she was banished. With the necklace, Gwendolyn tries to sneak out of the palace (as she's now done many times before), but sees the Pastel guards all stationed outside. Beckett informs the others that they have received orders from the higher-ups to increase security, following a terrifying growl from the Haunted Forest the previous night, and he is determined to follow these orders. As Gwen panics, Jamie walks in and asks her what's wrong. She vaguely explains that she really needs to go somewhere but can't because all the guards are outside. Jamie quickly agrees to help her, and *all* his sisters, out; he does this by running outside, naked, and refusing to put on clothes until his sisters are granted the right to enter and exit the palace as they like. While their father and Molly are horrified, Maria and Lorena enthusiastically cheer him on. Jack orders the guards to capture and clothe Jamie, while he continues to run around, and Gwendolyn sneaks out.

Meanwhile, back at the CPC's headquarters, Saffron, Prez, Thermidora, Monika, and Syrah stayed up the whole night drinking and are now hungover. When Saffron questions why, Syrah reminds him that Prez said she'd drink to forget as much as possible, and they all offered to keep her company. Monika tells Prez to stop blaming herself for what happened with Gwen *and* Aurelia. Prez explains that she was just so enraged when she learned she'd almost killed a *second* person because of Aurelia's actions she had to kick Aurelia out, but she's not sure if it was rage towards Aurelia or towards herself. She notes that she also can't blame Aurelia for confusion about the club's purpose, as she's starting to question if she could help other people who don't have curses, too - "people who don't treat themselves with love", "people who are ashamed to share their true selves with others", and "people who are struggling to realize what it is that they truly want". Saffron brings up the topic of Gwen being cursed again, which Syrah immediately tries to shut down. Monika then brings over some commemorative gifts the Pastel family got at Lance's Birthday Party, including a photo of the family and Laverne. When Prez asks if the club is thinking what she's thinking, they say they are, before telling her that Gwen's dad, Gwen's sisters, and "that llama" are all really pretty, none of which were what Prez was thinking. She points out that it's strange how Gwendolyn looks nothing like the rest of her family, and that Saffron could be right about her being cursed...

Outside, Aurelia is just leaving the club when Gwendolyn catches up to her. While Aurelia initially thinks she's just there to "rub it in that she won", she's shocked when Gwen gives her the necklace, knowing that she must've picked up the pearls and put it back together. As Aurelia takes it, Gwendolyn ponders how she thinks Aurelia was right in some capacity; she doesn't think she deserves to be in the CPC and she's used their support for too long, but she wants to do her best to help them like they've helped her, and she hopes someday Aurelia will come back. She doesn't know how to tell Aurelia that, though, so she hopes some of it is passed through the necklace. Before leaving for the final time, Aurelia tells her that she feels sorry for her fiance, because she "makes it really difficult for people once they realize they were wrong about her."

While Gwendolyn walks away, she considers how she doesn't really understand what Aurelia meant, but maybe she can try to get better at it. She tries to sneak back into the palace, but her path is blocked by Lord Leopold, greeting her again with a bouquet of flowers. In the background, Jamie continues running around the guards while his sisters cheer him on. This is the point at which Season 2 ends.
