Sofia the First S1 E4

## Plot

At Royal Prep, Sofia is excited to learn magic in her first sorcery lesson. They'll be learning how to turn a rock into a ruby. However, Sofia just can't get the spell right. She has to learn three more that day, and there's a test on it at the end of the week. Clover advises her to ask Cedric for help, since he's a sorcerer. Cedric agrees to help her, but only so he can try to steal her amulet again. She'll become his apprentice and help him organize his workshop, and in return, he'll teach her magic. It's revealed that Cedric wants to take over the kingdom because he feels like no one respects or appreciates him, especially the king, and his father. He plans to make an invisibility potion to steal the amulet. Also, he has a magic portrait of his parents, Goodwyn the Great and Winifred the Wise. It lets them spy on him. Goodwyn is good, but Winifred is actually wicked and encourages Cedric's evil plans. During her lesson, Sofia is able to turn a rock into a ruby, and says that Cedric is a good teacher. Baileywick says that Cedric has been summoned by Roland, which makes him nervous. Roland says that King Magnus is coming to the castle to stay with them, and that he's always bragging about how great his kingdom is. Roland wants to upstage him by having Cedric transform the gargoyle statues into something more inviting, like golden horses. However, Cedric screws the spell up, and Roland won't give him another chance, comparing him unfavorably to his father. Ouch. Sofia talks to him about it, and accidentally spills a potion on herself that transforms her into a lizard. Cedric tells her not to panic and changes her back. Sofia thanks him and gives him a hug. Aw! Cedric admits that he never gets his spells right in front of the king because he gets nervous around him. Sofia decides to find a way to prove to her dad that Cedric is a great sorcerer, because they're friends. Aw! She convinces everyone to let Cedric put on a magic show for all of them the night after tomorrow. Since the show and the test are on the same day, Sofia and Cedric help each other get ready. Meanwhile, Cedric has been trying and failing to make that invisibility potion. Sofia discovers that it's because there was a smudge on his book, and he didn't add two extra ingredients. He's finally able to make the potion. He has second thoughts though when he sees that Sofia made a bunch of rubies into a heart. Aw! It's all just so cute! Goodwin tells him to do the right thing. Winifred tells him to make it his final trick at the show, and then take over the kingdom. Sofia passes her test. Then she helps Cedric with his show. She puts the lizard potion in his bag so it's not in the way. However, Cedric is nervous and gets his spells wrong. Sofia pours the lizard potion on herself intentionally. She knows that Cedric can do it because she's seen him do it before, and he said that it was an easy spell that he learned in his first week of sorcery school. He changes her back, and Roland is grateful, calling him the greatest royal sorcerer in the land, and King Magnus agrees. Cedric realizes that Sofia did it on purpose. He decides to pour the invisibility potion on Clover instead of himself. While Cedric has far from given up his evil ways or trying to take Sofia's amulet, he's very touched by her kindness and that she considers him her friend.
