Sofia the First S1 E21

## Plot

A handmaiden named Violet wakes Sofia up in the morning. She picks out her usual purple dress to wear, and says that she can put it on herself. Violet gives her her usual tiara. Tomorrow, she'll be wearing a fancy dress too, for the Villagers Ball. She thinks that it's so nice of King Roland to throw a party for everyone in town. Sofia and her mom went every year when they lived in the village. This will be Sofia's first time going as a princess. Everyone in Dunwiddie looks forward to the ball every year. Sofia offers to help Violet pick out her dress later. Violet thanks her, but says that it's her job to serve Sofia, not the other way around. During breakfast, Baileywick tells Roland that he has a lot to do today, and some things need his immediate attention. Amber tells Sofia that he always has a lot to do, because he's the king. Baileywick asks him what kind of cake he wants for the Villagers Ball. Sofia offers to take care of that for him, since he's already so busy. Baileywick tells her to fill out the order form, and then he'll deliver it to the village baker. She, Amber, and James fill it out. Sofia gives it to Roland, and offers to help him out all day. They finally finish everything on the list that night. Baileywick tells Roland that they have an even bigger day tomorrow. He and Sofia see Miranda hanging up a mirror for the ball. She found it tucked away in the attic. Roland doesn't think he's ever seen it before. He notices that it's crooked, and tries to fix it, but gives up. He remembers that he forgot to give Baileywick the cake order. Sofia offers to bring it to him. Roland says that on days like this, he wishes he was the village baker. He thinks it'd be a simple life. He'd just have to bake bread and cake, instead of running a whole kingdom. Sofia drops the cake order. When she picks it up, she sees the mirror glowing, but thinks that she's just seeing things. The next morning, the whole family wakes up in a building in the village. They wonder what's going on. They get dressed when they hear someone knocking at the door. A man asks for two loaves of bread. He thinks that Roland is the village baker, and says that everyone knows he's a baker, not a king. Sofia and Roland remember the wish he made the night before. It came true, but they wonder how. Amber wants to head back to the castle to undo the spell right away. However, Roland doesn't see it as a bad thing. He says they could look at it like a vacation. Everyone agrees to try it, some more reluctantly than others. Miranda points out that she and Sofia used to live in the village, and being a baker might not be as easy as Roland thinks. It's what he really wants though, so she agrees to try it to give him a break. She and Sofia have to teach the others how to bake and get the ingredients they need. However, Roland is a terrible baker, but a good king, and he's busy and stressed either way. He doesn't want to admit it though. Sofia gives a loaf of bread to a woman, and apologizes for it being a bit lumpy. She leaves because her kids want to go to the playground. Sofia goes after her when she sees that the woman gave her too much money. She sees the new playground equipment Roland got for the kids, and gets an idea. If she can show him all the great things he did for the villagers as king, then he'd want to be one again. He completely forgot about the Villagers Ball, and wonders if everything's ready at the castle. They see the new schoolhouse he built, but the teacher tells him that they won't need any bread today after all. The king never showed up to open the school, so they had to send all the kids home. The teacher, Miss Sarkin, has heard that no one has seen the king all day. If he doesn't show up soon, they're going to cancel the Villagers Ball. Roland had no idea what would happen if he wasn't king anymore. It's a hard job, but he's good at it, and the people need him. He tells his family that he wants to be king again. The only problem is that he doesn't know how to undo it. He remembers making his wish in the castle with Sofia. She remembers that he said it in front of the mirror, and then it sparkled. It must've been a magic mirror that grants wishes. To undo it, they have to get back to the castle and wish to be royalty again. Baileywick stops by to pick up the cake for the ball. They tell him that when they finish it, they'll bring it to the castle in person. The problem is that they can't bake. Roland has learned that some things in life are difficult, but worth all the hard work. The cake isn't very pretty, nor does it taste good, but it'll work. They find the mirror, and Roland wishes to be king again, right now. They meet Baileywick, and ask him to put the mirror back in the attic. The Villagers Ball begins. Roland is happy to be king again, and to have a daughter like Sofia. She's always looking out for him, no matter what he does.
