Sofia the First S3 E5

## Plot

Sofia is visiting Aunt Tilly's manor for the first time. She sees three gargoyles on the roof. She finds them ugly cute. I never thought I'd hear Sofia say the word ugly. She came to help Tilly set up for her garden party. She meets Spruce, who helps keep the manor clean. Some of the things Sofia has to do are odd, but then again, this is Aunt Tilly we're talking about here. I wouldn't be surprised if Spruce is secretly a gargoyle, or a vampire, or a garden gnome. He's actually a hobgoblin. Sofia has to clean the house, especially the music room. Tilly shows her a magical music box. The dancer figurine can talk. She can play a bunch of magical music rolls, and each one does something different. Tilly is going to leave to get some stuff for the party. Sofia thought they were going to set up together. Spruce will be there to help, but Sofia is in charge while she's gone. Sofia's never been left in charge before though, and worries that something will go wrong. Tilly assures her that she'll make it go right then. After all, Sofia is growing up, which means taking on new responsibilities. I love Aunt Tilly. She's basically Mary Poppins. She allows Sofia to play any roll on the music box while she's gone. There's something more behind it though, because she winks at Spruce, who nods. After they tie balloons to the mailbox, the flap thing goes up, which opens up a secret tunnel. They see where it goes, and Spruce cleans it. They find a trapdoor at the end of it. It leads into the kitchen. Sofia decides to play a roll in the music box while they clean the music room. She asks the dancer what kind of magic a green roll makes. She tells her that it's very special. She can't remember what it does though. Sofia plays it, and it awakens the gargoyles outside, who break free of their stone forms. They decide to move into the house. They have to get the music box before Sofia and Spruce can play a song that turns them back to stone. Sofia and Spruce see them and lock the windows and the door, but they get in through the chimney. Spruce has to distract them while Sofia figures out how to turn them back to stone. The ballerina can't remember which roll will turn them back though. The leader takes the music box. Sofia and Spruce slip on slime and are thrown out. The door is locked, and they locked all the windows earlier. The leader decides to break the music box, but he has no idea how. Sofia and Spruce use the secret passageway to get back in. Spruce saves the music box. Sofia finds a roll that feels like it's made of stone. She plays it, and the gargoyles turn back to stone. Spruce cleans up the house while Sofia finishes getting ready for the party. They can't lift the gargoyles to get them back outside though. Aunt Tilly comes home and sees them. She sees that Sofia chose the green roll, which is apparently the most challenging of all, and she stopped the gargoyles. Tilly tells her that she passed the test. Each music roll created a magical problem that she had to solve. The gargoyles were the hardest. Tilly wanted to know if Sofia could be in charge and solve any problem that came her way. She says that she'll have to know how to handle things when it comes time to face her destiny. Sofia asks her what her destiny is. Tilly tells her that only she knows the answer to that question, but she gives her a book to help her find her way. It's her reward for passing the test: The history of Enchancia castle. It's a very old castle, and that book can tell her all of its secrets. When Tilly was a little girl, she had Sofia's exact same bedroom. She tells Sofia to read the book cover to cover, because knowledge is the key to everything. As for the gargoyles, Tilly plays the green roll again, and gets them to behave.
