[Millie] Previously on Max & The Midknights...

If my people aren't found, young Sam and I

- may be the last of our kind. - [crying]

The Midknights will go to Tresk to find the missing Gnomes.

- [bell ringing] - Is this ship for us?

Indeed! The Mighty Acorn!

[Max] It's awesome!

Mumblin, I think you need

to stay here and rest.

Before you depart, I want you to have this.

It shines brightly when it detects evil.

[Max] Come on, let's do this!

[Kevyn] With this tailwind,

we should make landfall near Tresk in no time!

Great. Hopefully we can find some kind of clue

that leads us to the Gnomes.

They're all counting on us.

Especially little Sam.

Don't fret, Max.

We'll find the Gnomes.

And I shall chronicle their successful rescue

in my next book!

- [Uncle Budrick] Ugh! - [gasps]

Speaking of your next boo...

- Ugh! - [stomach rumbles]

Feeling a little seasick, Uncle Budrick?

No, I'm fine.

Ah!

Hey, speaking of your next book,

could I be depicted a littlemore accurately

this time, please?

[gasps] Whatever do you mean?

Your last book, you made me look like some sort of a... [gags]

...silly goose!

Well, you were literally a goose.

And you can be somewhat... silly.

[chuckles] Me?!

Ugh! Hold on a second, please.

Finally, a quest to help those in need!

It feels so good to be back on the road.

Or the sea.

I don't know what kind of evil we'll have to face

to save the Gnomes, but I do know one thing:

I couldn't do any of this without my awesome crew!

[Kevyn] Millie, what are you doing?!

[Millie in deep voice] I merely offer my counsel

as the appointed wizard of the quest.

[in regular voice] You like my wizard voice?

[in deep wizard voice] Here! Allow me to help!

[in normal voice] Now you don't have to squint to read your map!

You're welcome!

Not helping, Millie!

First you take my toothbrush, again,

and now this?!

Wait! I haven't taken your toothbrush

since we left Byjovia!

Simon! Kevyn's calling me a toothbrush thief!

Simon! Millie's denying

- that she's a toothbrush thief! - [quacking]

- [indistinct bickering] - [groans]

Guys, I'd love to help,

but I'm on a call with a client!

Lester and I are working through some things.

So you feel like a big duck stuck in a small pond.

- [quacks] - Hmm... Let's unquack that...

I mean, unpack that. Sorry.

I know. We talked about this.

- [squabbling continues] - [Lester quacks]

Eh! Sorry, Lester, say that again.

Shrink it! Shrink it!

[groans] Not thatsmall!

Hmm... Okay, so maybe the gang's a little rusty

on the whole "working together" thing.

But we'll be back in our Midknight-prime in no time!

[sobs] Can you make the ocean stop moving?

- [vomiting] - Hey, hey, hey, hi, hi.

Ew.

Why don't you go below deck

and get some rest?

Oh. [laughs nervously] Yeah.

[slurred speech] That's a great idea.

I'll go walk... while not moving.

[groaning]

[groans] Steady!

Ah! [sighs in relief]

- [horse whinnies] - [bell tolls]

Well, Mumblin, I think you'll be good as new in no time.

Ha! Unlikely, Dr. Leech!

I've been so accident-prone lately,

it's a miracle I'm still alive!

First, there was the grape gaffe.

- [choking] - [grunts]

[Mumblin] Then there was the stairs snafu!

Whoa! [grunts]

- That trumpet trouble! - Ow! [grunts]

- The cauldron catastrophe! - Ow! [grunts]

And the drawbridge disaster!

[screams, grunts]

[screams, gurgles]

And on top of that, my staff isn't working!

It's like someone's out to get me!

Hmm... [chuckles] Interesting.

You know you sound a little... [chuckles] ...paranoid.

I'm not paranoid!

Who told you that?! Was it Lenny?!

- I knew Lenny was a... - [chuckles]

No one is out to get you, Mumblin!

You have a classic case of bad luck,

and Ihave just the solution!

One fresh leech! [chuckles]

Work your magic, my squishy little friend.

Take good care of her. That one is named Heidi.

Ew. So slithery... [shudders]

Thanks, doctor.

I feel better already!

I saw... We have a... a ghost!

- What?! - A ghost?

Can I keep it?! Please!

Are you sure, Uncle Budrick?

Last time you thought you saw a ghost

it was just an oddly shaped carrot.

[screams] Don't remind me! That carrot was horrifying!

But there really is a ghost!

It stole my sock!

Okay, Uncle Budrick, ghosts aren't real.

And a ghost at sea? That would be ridiculous.

[chuckles] Right, Kevyn?

Oh, on the contrary, Max.

I've read countless nautical ghost stories.

Even tales of ships vanishing in these very waters,

often ascribed to the vengeful Spirit of the Sea...

Aw! Why are they always vengeful?!

Uh, I'd say it's way more than an "if!"

so we can get back on the mission.

Who's going down there with me?

You know, I've gotta ask myself, "What would Mumblin do?"

And the answer?

He'd stay up here, my friend!

I should stay up here too!

To keep an eye on our heading!

Hey, I want to stay up here too!

I have animals to call

and I don't get any service below deck!

I'd rather be all pukey up here than all spooky down there!

Hey!

Hi. [exhales sharply]

Now we need to work as a team.

So, Kevyn and Millie, you two helm the whipstaff up here.

Simon and Uncle Budrick,

you come with me below deck. Okay?

Ugh, fine.

But if I don't come back,

just know I'll be the next ghost

to haunt you all.

And I'll go full poltergeist.

I'ma be moving stuff around this ship.

No one's going to get any sleep.
