Sofia the First S3 E14

## Plot

Sofia rushes to the Secret Library after being summoned by her amulet. To her alarm, it gives her a book called The Tale of Miss Nettle. The narrator tells her that there is a land so far north that it's always covered in snow. This is Freezenberg, Hildegard's kingdom. The king sent his gardener on a quest to find a flower that could grow in Freezenberg. He returned with a flower strong enough to melt ice and snow, the snowdrop. The people loved their new flower, and planted it everywhere. They started celebrating it every year with a winter flower festival, which will take place this night. However, Miss Nettle has been stealing all the snowdrops. Sofia and Minimus head to Freezenberg to stop her. They spot her, and Sofia gets some woodland creatures to help her out. Sofia and Miss Nettle fight over the snowdrops. Miss Nettle says that the flowers have always been hers. She pours crazy crystals on Sofia and disappears. This affects Sofia's amulet, and now she can't understand animals. The animals can understand her though, and she asks them to find Miss Nettle. Sofia isn't sure she can do this without her amulet. It attempts to summon a princess to help her out, but that ability is messed up too. Instead, it summons Olaf. And it can't send him back to Arendelle. He agrees to help Sofia with Miss Nettle. Sofia and Minimus have to go after him though when he dives off the sleigh to get his carrot nose back. However, all of the kids are building snowmen. Sofia finds him after all the kids are called in for dinner. Even if they find Miss Nettle, Sofia doesn't know how to stop her without her amulet's magic. Olaf tells her that Elsa has magic powers, but it still took Anna to show her how to unfreeze Arendelle. And Anna doesn't have magic powers, except that she never gives up, and she has a big heart. Olaf thinks that that's better than having magic powers. Sofia decides to try, and they run into Hildegard. She tells them that they still have some flowers growing in the royal gardens. They find Miss Nettle taking them. This time, Olaf jumps off the sleigh to stop her from taking the last flower. Sofia tells her that the flowers mean a lot to the people of Freezenberg. Miss Nettle says that they mean a lot to her too, and reveals that she created them. However, the royal gardener stole them and took all the credit for it. No one has given Miss Nettle the recognition she deserves. She ties them up with vines and takes all the snowdrops. Sofia is upset that she couldn't stop her without her amulet. Olaf is glad that Miss Nettle has her flowers though, because maybe now she'll be happy, like when Elsa saw how much Anna loved her. He gets free because he's a snowman. Sofia realizes that she's supposed to make sure this story has a happy ending for everyone, including Miss Nettle. Olaf unties her and Minimus. Sofia tells King Henrik and Hildegard that Miss Nettle created the snowdrops. Sofia wants them to thank Miss Nettle for the flowers, and then she might not be angry anymore, and just might return them. However, no one knows where she is. Olaf reveals that there's still one snowdrop left. It stuck to him after he rolled down that hill, and he just noticed it. They get Miss Nettle to come back. Not that she made it very far with such a large and heavy bag to carry. The people of Freezenberg thank her for creating the snowdrop, and celebrate her. She agrees to return the snowdrops. The king accepts, on one condition: They change the name to Nettledrops, so they can always remember the wonderful fairy that created them. Miss Nettle returns them, thanks Sofia, and fixes her amulet. Sofia tells Olaf, but he seems sad. He thinks he didn't give her good advice. She says that he reminded her that having a big heart and never giving up are more important than magical powers. He's magically sent back to Arendelle.

## Review

Okay, I love *Frozen*, and I get the hype, and Josh Gad is funny, but… no. I'd have preferred Anna or Elsa. Honestly though, that's not my biggest problem with the episode, or its long title. In fact, I actually really liked the episode. What bothered me about it was Miss Nettle's redemption. This is her third appearance, and BAM!, she's redeemed. And given a Freudian excuse song. It's an okay song, but again, no. She just wants attention!
