Norberg Peace Prize

**"Norberg Peace Prize"** is the fifty-fourth episode in *Elena of Avalor*, and its third and final season's fifth episode.

## Plot

The Feast of Friendship has ended and the visiting Royals are heading home. Isabel notes that the Feast of Friendship was a big success. Elena notes that it was, despite everything King Hector did and what happened as a result. However, out at sea, Hector taunts Queen Abigail about how his Wave Smasher is an indestructible ship and hands her a spear. Abigail throws the spear and it puts a hole in his ship. Hector blames Abigail for it even though he literally told her to do it. Hector warns Abigail she hasn't heard the end of this. At Avalor Palace, Abigail tells Elena what happened and how Hector is demanding she buy him a new ship or he'll ruin Norberg's Family Day, to the horror of Naomi, whose family is planning to go there to celebrate the holiday. When Elena asks what that is, Abigail explains that Family Day is the day Norbergian families honor each other by singing songs, share stories, and make Mulberry Juice and that Hector's planning to ruin it by not delivering the Mulberries. Abigail asks Elena to meditate and she agrees. Later, Elena is collecting books about diplomacy. Esteban comes in, to Elena's chagrin as she's still angry about his and Dona Paloma's stunt during the Feast of Friendship. He hands Elena a book King Raul wrote about diplomacy.

Much later, Elena, Isabel, Gabe, and the Turners arrive in Norberg. Gabe gets the attention of Abigail's daughter, Princess Chloe, to the chagrin of Naomi who is saddened to the point where she doesn't enjoy eating Shepard's Pie at Barlowe's Inn with her family as she would if Gabe was there. At Norberg Palace, Elena tries her best to meditate but Abigail and Hector prove to both be extremely stubborn and immature in a way that makes them constantly try to one-up each other. Hector finally storms out. At Barlowe's Inn, Naomi's parents cheer her up by telling her the story of why Norbergians celebrate Family Day.

Taking a tip from Isabel regarding Javier, Elena stops Hector from leaving and takes him and Abigail to an island to build a raft. However, they once again start arguing. Isabel tells Elena they don't need to be friends to get along. Elena agrees and finally gets the two to start getting along. They go back and celebrate Family Day.
