Elena of Avalor S1 E16

## Plot

Elena has put Naomi in charge of fixing up Avalor's old lighthouse. Not only has she done that, but she's made it better then ever, adding in a special lantern that Isabel helped make. They call it the light writer, because they can use Morse code to communicate with the ships in the harbor. Naomi gets a letter from a Captain Turner. Not her dad, but her mom, who has been out at sea for over six months. She's coming to Avalor today, and she has a big surprise for Naomi and Daniel. Naomi uses the light writer to tell her dad. They rush home to clean their house, and Elena helps. Naomi reveals that she never really felt like she had a home until she came to Avalor. Her family was constantly moving when she was younger. There's one more thing she wants: Her mom home with her. Because of her job, she's not around a lot. Naomi is hoping that Scarlett's surprise is that she got a new job that would allow her to settle down with the rest of the family. Scarlett arrives, and we get our first onscreen kiss thanks to her and Daniel. She reveals that she did get a new job… in the kingdom of Norberg. It's where she grew up, and where Naomi was born. They leave in four days. Naomi doesn't want to leave Avalor though. She and Elena come up with various schemes to try and change Scarlett's mind. Elena offers her a better job in Avalor, but she refuses, despite the numerous incentives Elena offers, like a desperate car salesperson. Doña Paloma tries to show Scarlett how great Avalor is by offering her free samples of just about everything in her emporium. That still doesn't change her mind. In fact, she decides to take them all back to Norberg with her as souvenirs. Elena tries to show her how badly her daughter is needed in Avalor by showing her the lighthouse. This backfires spectacularly, since now Scarlett is going to have them leave a day early so Naomi can do the same in Norberg. Elena and Naomi are running out of ideas. Francisco and Luisa heard about Elena offering Scarlett a job, and they overhear their conversation. They state the simple solution: That Naomi just tell her parents the truth, hope that they understand, and let the chips fall where they may. When she gets home though, she finds her parents having fun, and can't bear to tell them, since they seem so happy about the move and finally staying in one place as a family. Naomi tells Elena that they're leaving that day. They're both sad, but Elena wants to at least give her best friend a proper goodbye. Everyone gathers together in the throne room, and Elena gives Naomi a medal to thank her for her service on the grand council. Naomi says that Elena was like a sister to her, Francisco and Luisa were like grandparents, and Gabe and Mateo were like her brothers. Then, what looks like everyone in the kingdom shows up to say goodbye. Scarlett realizes that Naomi left a big impact on the people here, and she means a lot to Avalor. They all show up at the docks to see her off. Scarlett finally realizes that something is wrong with Naomi when she sees the look on her face. She tells her a story about how when she was little, she would try to tie fancy sailor knots on the ship, but would get rope burns and hurt her hands. Despite this, she put on a brave face because she thought it was all part of the job. Naomi finally tells her how she feels, and how she wants them to all be together in Avalor. It feels like home to her. She didn't tell them sooner because she thought that they'd rather live in Norberg. Scarlett tells her that home is where the heart is, and she can tell that her daughter's heart is here in Avalor. Her heart is with her daughter and husband. Daniel doesn't care where they live, as long as they're all together. They decide to stay in Avalor. Elena offered Scarlett an imaginary job and rank before though, but her grandparents promise to find something.
