## Story

For her initiation into the Cursed Princess Club, Princess Gwendolyn is attending a slumber party with all the members. While Monika and Abbi do her hair, she asks how it's the "grueling, mortifying, character-defining trial" Prez described last episode. Monika explains that the complaints came from Saffron, who really hates slumber parties, but adds they actually are a great test of character. She uses Prez and Saffron playing ping-pong as an example, saying it shows they both have "strong athletic and competitive proclivities". Over at the ping-pong table, Saffron insists that if he beats Prez, he can be the club's new president and change the name. Prez taunts him by reminding him he's *never* beaten her, which she takes as a sign he's fond of the name. This makes Saffron even more frustrated, and Monika adds on that power dynamics also quickly become clear during slumber parties.

Abbi asks Jolie, who's sitting nearby, for a spare bobby pin to finish Gwendolyn's hair. Jolie takes off her eye mask and searches through her eye sockets. She finds a bobby pin, and hands it to Abbi without putting her eye mask back on. Meanwhile, it's match point in Prez and Saffron's game, and Saffron looks to be winning. However, his curse suddenly reappears to grab his other arm and shoot the ball behind him. The ball flies into the air and lands.. inside Jolie's eye socket. Everyone is horrified, especially Saffron (except for Prez and Monika, who tells Gwendolyn that slumber parties are also "a great way to observe how others deal with problems and confrontation"). He goes to apologize to Jolie and ask for the ball back. Jolie forgives him, but then tells him he'll have to get the ball back himself. While he fails to retrieve it and mutters "I hate slumber parties..", Gwen tells Monika she's right about how informative they are.

Gwendolyn then realizes she doesn't know much about the other members and their curses. Another princess, the one who first offered her wine in Episode 12, appears behind her with a bottle of champagne and introduces herself as Princess Syrah of the Metallic Kingdom. Gwen refuses the champagne, and then notices that something looks different about Syrah - her nose is a *lot* longer. Syrah knows she's talking about her nose, and explains that a few years ago, her jealous boyfriend gave her chocolates infused with a 'Pinocchio's nose' curse to see if she was cheating on him. Since then, every time she tells a lie, her nose has grown in proportion to how bold the lie was, but it always returns to normal eventually. Despite her curse, Syrah says she still has *fun times with gentleman suitors*, and she's The Girl To Ask for Relationship Advice. She then asks Gwendolyn if she has any "gentleman suitors" or Prince Charmings in her life, and Gwen anxiously says "I guess..." The other princesses are shocked, and Syrah says she wants to hear everything. Gwendolyn starts panicking and tries to explain her fiancee was arranged as she begins undoing her hair. She realizes she's suddenly began crying, and attempts to hold back her tears. However, she can't as she says "He doesn't even want me...." The other princesses are shocked, except a lot more, and try to comfort Gwen. Meanwhile, Saffron is still trying to get the ping-pong ball out of Jolie's eye socket, but is crying for help because something is *biting his hand*.
