[Uncle Budrick] Previously on Max & The Midknights...

I think maybe there's somewhere else I should be.

I'm an actual knight now.

Please, you must find my people.

The Midknights and I will go.

[Kevyn] Egad!

Explain yourself, Seymour!

[Seymour] You died, went to the afterlife,

but then you escaped, so now they want you

to disappear for good!

- I demand a trial! - Fine, it's your funeral.

[Uncle Budrick] Now, turn me back into a man!

- [all gasp] - Millie, what did you do?!

[birds squawking]

[Max] Uncle Budrick?

Uncle Budrick?!

Can you hear me?

[Uncle Budrick] Ha, hear you? Ha, yes.

See you? Aah... no!

It's an endless eggy void in here!

Every quest I get turned into something. Why?!

[Max] I don't think it's personal, Uncle Budrick.

[Uncle Budrick] Well, it feels like it!

[gasps] Waterfalls ahead?

Uh... Max?

Millie, you were supposed to turn him into a man,

not breakfast!

It was an accident!

Plus, he said he wanted to be "turned back."

And what comes before a goose? An egg!

That raises a rather perplexing philosophical question.

Which did come first? The goose or the egg?

Max! Really need to show you something!

Just a second, Simon!

Millie, can you fix this?

Max! This really can't wait!

Simon, my uncle is an egg.

What could possibly need my attention more than that?!

Oh, gee, maybe that we're headed

towards a bunch of waterfalls!

[Kevyn] Oh no!

- [Millie] Aw jeez! - [Uncle Budrick screams]

We're supposed to be saving the Gnomes of Tresk,

not battling waterfalls!

Okay, Midknights, if we all work together,

we can turn this boat around.

I'll take the whipstaff.

Kevyn, Simon, you raise the sail!

Now, Millie, this is super important.

I need you to...

Wha...? Where'd she go?!

[Uncle Budrick] What?! To what?

You need Millie to do what? Max!

Oh, thank goodness you're here!

Mumblin, what am I doing in Wizard Court?!

I summoned you here.

Apologies for interrupting

your quest, Max, but...

I'm in a bit of a pickle.

The boat! I'm sorry, Mumblin,

but I've got my own pickle to deal with.

Uncle Budrick and the Midknights are on a ship heading

- for a waterfall! - Court is now in session!

[Mumblin] Oh no!

It's the Wizard World's top judge.

And the toughest!

Order! We will now commence the trial of...

ugh, Mumblin the Magician.

- You're on trial?! For what? - [gavel bangs]

Okay, Mumblin the Magician, you stand before Wizard Court

for the crime of meddling with fate.

The worstcrime a wizard can commit!

Okay, we gotta get off this ship.

What if we steer it towards shore and jump off?

- [Max] Uh, hi, excuse me? - [Judge] Mr. Gunk.

Proceed with your opening statement!

You, sit!

- [Max grunts, groans] - [audience whispers]

[wheels squeaking]

[dramatically] Your Honor,

I intend to prove today

that Mumblin the No Good Magician

broke wizard law when he escaped

from the afterlife illegally

and then meddled with fate.

Exhibit A:

- [Mumblin grunting on video] - [audience gasps]

[Mr. Gunk] You can clearly see here that Mumblin,

in order to escape,

stole that staff and assaulted Mr. Juggles,

who is too frail and feeble

to even walk to the witness stand!

- [audience] Aww! - Oh, that poor clown!

Since the incident, I've been forced to go by...

Mr. Can't Juggles.

See?

- [clanks] - [honks]

Objection!

His juggling stunk

before I mopped the floor with him!

- [audience gasp] - Do you hear how he mocks

his victim, hmm?

Disgusting!

I think you'll find by the end of this trial

that Mumblin is guilty with a capital G!

Your Honor, this is ridiculous!

Do I get an opening statement?

Sure. Do you think you're guilty?

Of course I don't.

Great. Moving on!

- Hey, that's not fair! - I had more to say!

[gavel bangs]

Mumblin, what happens if they find you guilty?

I'm afraid I won't be allowed to return to Byjovia.

What?! So if you lose, I'll never see you again?

Yes, child. If I lose, I'll never see anyone again.

The good news is:

I think I've finally made contact with the aliens!

They said, and I quote...

[speaking gibberish]

- That's your stomach. - [stomach rumbles]

Everyone! I just recalled a passage

from The Byjovian Nautical Manual: Volume 4.

It stated the distribution of weight on a vessel

can influence its direction.

So if we increase the load on one side of the ship...

[Uncle Budrick] We'll veer towards the shore!

Mumblin the Magician, you have been accused

of illegally changing the course of history.

As I said, this is the worst crime a wizard can commit.

It can result in catastrophe,

a fact you ignored just to help your friends.

the accused or a willing substitute may participate

against those worms. Bailiff!

Wait! I'll go in Mumblin's place.

Max, no! You have no idea what you're getting into.

you'll declare Mumblin not guilty?

Yes, yes.
