[Uma] This is Auradon,

the kingdom where
all your favorite fairy tales are true.

It was formed 30 years ago,
when Beast married Belle.

And how do you think
they got all those characters to coexist?

Simple.

By banishing the villains
to the Isle of the Lost.

That's where I grew up.

You might know my name.

Uma, daughter of the big, bad,
sea witch, Ursula,

and a pirate queen not to be messed with.

I helped Mal and Ben free the isle,

and now that they're on the throne,

things are a lot more fair around here.

But they're sailing off
with Jay and Evie on a new adventure,

forming alliances with distant lands.

And guess who
they left in charge while they're gone?

[chuckles]

That's right. Villains rule.

And you can bet
I'm gonna shake things up around here.

Mmm-mmm.

Ooh. I've been to the principal's office
before, but never like this.

I made us tea.

Mmm.

[Godmother] Sit, please.

It's not an easy job, Uma.

But I hope you find it fulfilling.

Hmm. I've run a crew
of cutthroats since I was 16.

I think I can handle
a few prep school kids.

Pirates!

-[pirates chattering indistinctly]
-You just enjoy retirement.

I'm not retiring. I...

Are you sure you wanna put that up there?

I've been chosen as
the new president of Auradon University,

and to ensure a seamless transition,

I have prepared a list,

color-coded by priority.

My first order of business
will be making sure kids

from all the kingdoms
are welcome to attend AP.

Well, that's already our school policy.

I said "all."

Even Wonderland.

Wonderland? [chuckles] No.

Oh, no.

Wonderland is hostile.

[Uma] I've heard. Their queen's a tyrant.

The Queen of Hearts
refused to join Auradon when we united.

She raised an army
and we had to wall off the rabbit hole.

Oh, dear.

If only Queen Mal and King Ben were here.

Well, too bad they're not.

And why do you think Mal put me in charge

if she didn't wanna
shake things up around here?

[chuckles] No offense, Fairy G,
but you don't know Mal and Ben like I do.

I used to hate Mal.

I'm sure you've heard,
but you know what happened?

We reconciled.

We saw the goodness in each other.

When she and Ben
finally opened up the Isle,

they gave all villains a second chance.

It's time Wonderland got one too.

This is for Princess Red.

Are you sure?

It's what Carlos would have wanted.

So don't do it for me.

Do it in honor of him.

[Godmother] Mmm.

Hey.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.

[Uma] That's right.

Auradon may have brought down the barrier,

but they still left one VK behind.

Not on my watch.

-So, I'm sending an invite...
-[Queen of Hearts cackles]

...to the kingdom
no one dares to talk about.

The one that lurks
right below the surface.

Wonderland, a dark world
of mystery and magic.

And its ruler, the Queen of Hearts,

well, she's got a reputation
for being downright ruthless.

[male minister] Subjects of Wonderland,

you have one minute to comply

with her Royal Majesty's
curfew, or else...

[Uma] Or else, it's off with your head.

There's only one person
who dares to resist the Queen's orders.

And that's her very own daughter,

Vandal!

[soldiers vocalizing]

[soldiers singing]

[soldiers singing]

[soldier] Seize her!

[soldiers singing]

[soldiers singing]

[soldiers singing]

[soldiers singing]

[soldiers singing]

[soldiers vocalizing]

[soldiers singing]

[Red singing]

[soldiers vocalizing]

-[soldier 1] Where did she go?
-[soldier 2] Who was that girl?

[soldier 3] She was just here.

[Red yelps and screams]

Maddox!

Those guards could have dragged you
to the dungeon, Red.

-Phew!
-What on earth were you thinking?

That my mom's portrait
could use a little touch-up.

I am seriously worried about you, Red.

I hope she likes it.

If you continue down this path,
I won't always be there to save you.

You know that, right?

Maddox Hatter, you know you can't save me.

I'm a prisoner of Wonderland.
I'm a lost cause.

You are not a lost cause.

[chuckles]

As your tutor, I'm in charge
of preparing you for your future.

And as your friend,
I want you to have one.

What future, Mads?

I literally have
the most controlling mom ever.

She's never gonna let me leave Wonderland.

I know it hasn't been
easy growing up with a mother that's so...

Particular.

But she wasn't always this way.

It's true!

We're all products of our past,

and your mother's
was certainly unfortunate.

She just wants to
turn me into the next evil queen like her.

And I don't wanna be Queen.

I just wanna be in charge of my own life.

But what I want doesn't matter to her.

Oh, Red...

I wasn't going to show you this...

until you were a little older,

but I finished it.

Hmm!

My time machine.

It takes you to the moment in time

that can give you what
your heart wants most.

If you really want a different life, Red,

I want you to have that choice.

But I should warn you,

when you alter the fabric of time,

there can be some
unpredictable consequences.

-I think I can live with that.
-Everything could change.

You could lose your mother entirely.

[sighs]

It's too dangerous.

Not yet.

When you're more mature.

I know you're frustrated, Red,
but I'm trying to look out for you.

I care about you very much.

Thanks, Mads.

At least someone still does.

[chuckles]

[Jack of Diamonds] Search the castle!

Well, if the Queen finds out
I'm harboring a fugitive,

I'll be in some serious trouble.

You best get out of here, Red.

-I dare you to make me.
-As you wish, Princess.

What'd I say about calling me...
[yells] Princess?

[Red screams]

[Maddox] But I should warn you,

you could lose your mother entirely.

[both grunting]

[King Charming] Where you going?

Get back here!

[Chloe] Watch out.

[King Charming] No! No.

Got ya!

[grunts]

Bet you didn't see that coming.

Dad, that's cheating.

No.

That's delicious.

-[chuckles]
-Don't be so serious, Chloe.

We signed you up for Swords and Shields,

'cause it was supposed to be fun.

Well, yeah, it is, but when I'm out there,

I'm not just another competitor.

I represent Cinderellasburg.

You sound like your mother.

[Cinderella] Don't listen to him.

Your father's never cared
about what other people think.

I don't have to. I'm charming.

That's debatable.

[chuckles]

[romantic music playing]

You know, this is the first song

your mom and I ever danced to
back when we were in school.

We fell in love at Castlecoming.

Yeah, I know. You tell me every time.

And I know you guys have a healthy
relationship and all, but come on.

And it's a good thing, too,

or we wouldn't have been able
to create this amazing family.

I know you packed last night,

but you think you might have room
for one more pair of shoes?

Oh! Mom!
They're just like yours! But even cooler.

You earned them, Chloe.

You got straight As last year.

And volunteered for
the Auradon Historical Society.

And the thing I'm most proud of
is that you're such a good person.

That's why you're a great princess,

and why you'll make a great queen.

These are some big shoes to fill.

Are you gonna try 'em on or what?

[all chuckle]

[male minister] Her Royal Highness!

Her Grace!

Her Excellency!

Her magnanimous Majesty,

Empress of Wonderland,

the Queen of Hearts!

[all] Your Majesty.

[Queen of Hearts] Who is responsible?

[Jack of Diamonds]
We don't know, Your Royal Highness.

[scoffs]

I've doubled the guard,
tripled the patrol,

and personally
offered 10 diamonds for any information

that leads to the capture of the criminal.

[male minister] Her Royal Highness,

Princess Red!

I see you couldn't be bothered
to dress for court.

I find that outfit offensive.

I wish being me didn't offend you.

Sorry to rouse you out of bed before noon,

but while you were sleeping,
the Royal Plaza was vandalized.

And this sorry excuse for a soldier

failed to protect my portrait.

So, the question is, what do we do?

Poke thorns in his eyes?

Off with his head?

Since you'll be queen one day,
I'll let you decide.

It's up to me?

Mmm.

Okay.

Well, in that case...

Off with his...

Hat.

You're such a disappointment.

You know, I was the same way at your age.

Desperately wanting
to be a queen that everyone would adore.

But if I've learned anything, it's this.

It's better to be feared than loved.

Love ain't it.

Now, try again.

For your crime,

you are sentenced to...

Get it right or I'll show you punishment!

[Maddox] I beg your pardon!

Apologies for
interrupting court, Your Majesty.

Royal Delivery.

[Uma] Dear Queen of Hearts,
Empress of Wonderland.

As the new principal of Auradon Prep,

it is my honor to invite your daughter,
Red, the Princess of Wonderland,

to attend our school.

I hope you'll join us
for the Welcome Day ceremony.

If you accept, this invitation
shall serve as your key.

"From pirate to principal."

Another villain's gone soft.

Maybe you have a future, after all.

If you go to Auradon Prep,
you get to leave Wonderland.

[chuckles softly]

It doesn't matter.

The only thing she hates more than Auradon

is the idea of me having my own life.

So, I'm pretty sure
that's gonna be a "no."

We accept!

[gasps] Wait, hold on.

-Really?
-Mmm-hmm.

But you've always said
that Auradon is the worst.

Well, with my daughter there,
it might not always be.

You're gonna let me go? You?

Pack your bags.

Am I hallucinating
or did my mom just grow a heart?

And put on something
respectable, for once.

Don't embarrass me!

Okay, half a heart.

They fit perfectly!

-I love them.
-There's my girl.

[Chloe] Thank you.

It's so beautiful.

Are you sure you can't come?

I mean, we can visit Chad
at college another time.

He really wants me to come

-see him play tourney, so...
-[Cinderella] Mmm-hmm.

-Take care of your mom for me?
-I will.

Love you.

So, how do we get into the rabbit hole?

It's been locked for decades.

-Mom, what are you doing?
-Oh, you have so much to learn.

[chuckles] Finally.

[gasps]

Oh, Red, I thought I told you
to put on something respectable.

[Red singing]

[soldiers] ♪ Careful what you do
Careful what you say ♪

♪ Or it'll be off with your head
off with your head! ♪

♪ Be careful where you go
don't make her upset ♪

♪ Or else it'll be off with your head ♪

-[Queen of Hearts] Bags, please.
-[guard] Yes, Your Majesty.

[woman] Name, please.

You know who we are.

Bridget?

I didn't expect to see you here.

Ella.

It's Your Royal Highness now.

Of course. You must be very proud.

Um... Hi! I'm Chloe Charming.

You must be Princess Red of Wonderland.

I've always wondered
what it's like over there.

You should come sometime.
I'll introduce you to the Jabberwocky.

Fun! What's a Jabberwocky?

A monster that eats annoying girls.

It's okay, baby.

That's...

The Looking Glass.
Yes. It shows the future.

Where you and I will rule
together side-by-side.

But I don't want that.
I don't wanna be anything like you.

You don't...

You don't have a choice.

We're more alike than you know.

[Godmother] Attention, please.

Parents and students,

it has been a great privilege
to serve you.

But the time has come
for another to take my place.

So please join me in welcoming
Auradon Prep's new principal.

[chorus singing]

[cheering and applauding]

That's Principal Uma to you.

And you better get it straight,

or you'll be walking the plank.

-[crowd laughing]
-[Godmother] She's just kidding.

She's kidding.

[Uma] Now, I never got the chance
to go to Auradon Prep.

But as its captain,

I'm proud to be charting a new course
into a bright future,

beyond the old ways
of heroes and villains.

So, in that spirit I'd like to welcome
Princess Red of Wonderland.

Excuse me.

Hi. Do you mind?

I do, actually.

Mom, what are you doing?

Why, playing my favorite game.

[chuckles]

♪ War ♪

[cackles]

[cackling continues]

Everybody, it's going to be okay.

[Queen of Hearts laughing]

[card soldier] Citizens,
remain in the courtyard.

[woman] Oh, my God!

Mom, stop.

-[Queen of Hearts cackles]
-[Red] Wait!

[Queen of Hearts] Not so fast.

[Red] Mom!

Oop!

Bibbidi-bobbidi...

No.

Let go of me!

Calm down, you're all acting like
you've never seen a coup before.

[chuckles]

Mom, this is crazy. Even for you.

Crazy that it's taken this long.

I have been waiting years
to be invited back into Auradon.

So, thank you, Red.
You finally did something useful.

I should've known this was never about me.

Everything I do is for you.

That was my invitation.

My school. My life.

Someday, you'll thank me.

Oh!

And we've already seen the ending.

Spoiler alert, we win.

[cackles]

[Cinderella] Stop it, Bridget!

You're better than this!

Let her through.

This is too far.

I know that what happened
was hard for you, but that was ages ago.

It feels like yesterday to me.

It was a stupid prank.

Stupid, I could forgive.

Humiliating a girl at her first dance,

turning me into a monster
in front of everyone.

Now, that's just cruel.

You're right.

You didn't care then.

You were off with your prince.

But you will now.

You will all show me
the respect I deserve!

Get back!

Now kneel.

I will never kneel to a tyrant.

[crowd gasping]

She's denied a royal order.

What do we do about that, darling?

Look, all you have to do
is swear allegiance.

Is that so hard?

If it means compromising
everything I stand for, yes.

Who are you loyal to, Red?

These strangers...

or your mother?

Hmm?

Now make me proud, for once.

Come on, Bridget,

even your daughter knows it's wrong.

She can't do it.

-Treason.
-[thunder rumbles]

[crowd gasps]

She's guilty of treason.

Exactly right, my dear.

And that means off with her head!

[all gasping]

Shoo!

-Mom?
-It's gonna be okay, Chloe.

-Mom? Mom!
-I love you.

It's gonna be okay.

-Mom!
-Be brave, Chloe.

Mom? No. No!

I knew you had it in you.

Let her go!

You'll be a great queen, after all.

Look at her. She's enjoying this.

[woman] Like mother, like daughter.

Hey, that's not fair. Let her go!

-Bless your heart.
-Let her go!

Wait.

[both grunting]

[Chloe] What just happened?
Where did everybody go?

[Red] Whoa.

It works.

What works? Where are we?

Not where.

When.

Bibbidi... Bobbidi... Boo.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo. [gasps]

No. I wanted to speed-read,
not for my reading to speed off...

Hi. Excuse me, where did everybody go?

Every-who?

All the royal families
of Auradon. They were just here.

What's Auradon? [gasps]

I gotta go catch my homework.

Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo.

[Chloe] Everybody's heard of Auradon.

And the only person who says
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo is Fairy Godmother.

Maybe she's not a godmother yet?

What do you mean?

Look around you.

Fairy Godmother sucks at magic.

Auradon doesn't exist, which means...

Really? I thought you were smart.

[scoffs]

We're back in time.

No.

Wait.

No.

How?

This is a time machine.

-You're joking.
-Does it look like I'm joking?

Why would you take us back in time?

I didn't take you.

You just grabby-grabbed your way in.

And this is not what I had in mind.

I just wanted to stop my mom.

What about my mom?
You sentenced her to death.

Maybe not my finest moment,
but I'm gonna fix it.

How?

I thought the watch
would take me back a couple of minutes

so that I could steal
my mom's deck of cards.

Not a couple decades.

[Chloe] Well,
we need to go back and save my mom.

No, the watch sent us
to this time for a reason.

Give me that.

[Red] I don't need
the help of some princess goody two shoes.

I'll handle this myself.

[rock music playing]

Give me that watch.

You're out of you league, Princess.

What're you gonna do now?

Run me through and steal my watch?

I think there's a word for that, actually.

It starts with a V... Oh, right.

Villain.

So, you really wanna stop your mom?

Yeah. I do.

Why?

If she takes over,
you'll be the next Princess of Auradon.

And if I'm the next Princess of Auradon,

it's only a matter of time before
she tries to turn me into her mini-me.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

Okay, I accept your mission.

"Mission"?

[bells ringing]

-Hi!
-Hey, I'm Chloe...

Of course. Merlin Academy.

That's what Auradon Prep
used to be called.

Before Beast united
the kingdoms to create Auradon.

-How do you know all this?
-Well, I love history! Don't you?

Uh-uh.

[Chloe] No way. Castlecoming.
That's where my parents fell in love.

It's, like, the biggest event of the year.

Sorry, I'm busy changing history.

Okay, remember what your mom said
about being humiliated at her first dance?

This must be what she meant.

If someone
did some horrible prank to her...

Maybe that's what turned her
into a terrible dictator?

That must be why the watch
sent us back to this moment in time.

It's before my mom turns into... My mom.

Great.

Now, how do we do that?

By figuring out who's gonna do the prank
that ruins her life.

[bell ringing]

Late for class, ladies?

Stay right there.

Oh, my gosh, it's Merlin.

Actually, we're not students.

Well, we are,
but we think that we've been sent...

Sent from another place.

[chuckles]

We're transfer students.

Well, I'm Principal Merlin,
so, I should have received papers.

Now, yes, is it that one?

No.

This one?

"Dear Mom..." No, that's... that's not it.

Um, uh...

Well, then, that's...

Ooh, ooh! Ah.

That's... That's not safe.

It's not safe at all.

Well, I'm sure it'll turn up eventually.

I founded this academy
to be an educational institution for all.

But you must know that we have
a no-swords policy in the classroom.

I've transported it to the Stardust Room,
which will be your dormitory.

I'll settle you in after school,
but first let's get you to class.

I teach Honors Alchemy in my office.

Right this way.

No, that's... Sorry,
it's this way. This way.

Follow me!

The marble in these archways...

What was that?

The Auradon Code of Conduct forbids lying.
Especially to teachers.

Good thing this isn't Auradon yet.

[Merlin] There are no swords
in these stones.

Here we are.

Key, key. Where's the key?

Ah. [grunts] Yeah.

Here we go. Right. That's it.

Let's do alchemy!

So, plants are still alive.

Flasks are bubbling.

Bubbling, bubbling.

All right, class, let's get started.

We have two new transfers here today,

so let's at least pretend
that this is an Honors class.

Bridget and Ella,
split up and help these two get sorted,

won't you?

Here you are.

-Bridget?
-Yeah.

[Chloe] Mom?

Um...

I mean, Ella, hi.

Nice... Nice to meet you.

Okay, new girl, let's dive in.

So, wait.

You're Bridget?

Mmm-hmm. [chuckles]

Bridget from Wonderland?

Yup. That's me.

[Merlin] Ah. There we go.

Okay, so...

[retches]

Oh, wow. Those are gross.

Come on, these pods
don't drain themselves.

Could you pass me the griffin-claw please?
I gotta stir this up.

I love your outfit, by the way.

Why are you talking like that?

[chuckles] Like what?

You just sound different.

I'm not quite sure I...

No, it's me. I'm... You're...

This is all just a lot.

Sorry, I just...

I never had to... Oh! Ew!

-[scoffs] Ew!
-You okay?

-Yeah. Sorry, I just...
-[Merlin] Keep the chatter down, please.

You're not what I was expecting.

You never worked with someone
who's not royalty?

-Worried a commoner might rub off on you?
-No.

No.

How many kids were at your old school?

Uh...

One.

I was homeschooled too.

Until I came here.

So, you know, don't worry,
you'll get used to it.

Do you want a hug?

-Not really a hugger.
-[chuckles politely]

I've got the perfect thing
to make you feel better.

I made 'em this morning.

Keep those flasks bubbling, please.

Fabulous Flamingo-Feather Cupcakes.

[Red] Flamingo feathers?

Don't worry. They don't bite.

Not like those gingerbread men
I made last spring. [chuckles]

I won't be using that cookbook again.

Try one.

[chuckles] Whoa!

These are fabulous.

Ah, ah, ah.

Just one or there can be side effects.

Now, ready to tackle the assignment?

Why are you so nice?

[chuckles]

You get more with sugar than salt.

Come on.

[chuckles]

So, you're friends with everyone?

Oh, gosh, no.

My only friend is Ella.

But with time
and a few more treats, they will be.

[intense music playing]

[chuckles]

Thanks.

Sure.

Of course. Happy to...

For all of them.

I mean, flamingo feathers are, like,
super rare, right?

Hey!

-Give that back to her!
-I'm sorry.

I don't speak peasant girl.

I love your outfit by the way.

It is just so put together.

[laughing]

[Morgie] That was wicked, Uli.

You said, "put together" 'cause it's not.

[mockingly] My name's Bridget

and I have to bribe people
with treats to be my friend

'cause I'm such a loner.

[laughing]

[Chloe] Hey!

The Code of Conduct
prohibits theft and bullying!

Easy, lass.

I dunno where you come from,

but here we don't fight
until after school.

Meet me then.

You wouldn't stand a chance.

[snickers]

Listen, squid-face,

give the cupcakes back

or I'll rip that magic tongue
out of your throat.

Girl. [scoffs]

I only wanted the feathers.

You can have the rest.

[villains laughing]

[Bridget] Wait!

That's too many!

Whoo! [chuckles]

You shouldn't have done that.

I'm sorry.

You are just jealous of my fabulosity.

Okay?

You can't handle my...

[gasps]

[screeches] What was...

What was that?

[shrieking]

You all right, Uli?

You're looking a little pink.

Shut up!

[squawking]

[panting]

What's happening to me?

Will someone help her!

Yeah, someone should help her.

[squawking]

Uli, I...

[screeches]

[gasps]

-[screeches]
-[girls screaming]

We... okay. Yeah.

Thanks.

Wait.

Uli!

I tried to warn you.

Bridget, run.

Okay, okay, we're almost there.

Hey there, darling!

-[Bridget] I'm sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
-What?

I want to have a little chat
with your friend.

I'm sorry. I told you to be careful.

Hey! Bridget!

Let's go!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Come on.

[coughing and gasping]

Oh, my...

[Uliana] Where's Bridget?

So, pretty sure we just found out
who's gonna do the prank.

I don't know, maybe that wasn't so bad?

I will destroy her!

Maybe it was.

[shrieks]

Tell Bridget this isn't over!

-[hisses]
-[laughing]

[Bridget] How's Uli doing?

I feel terrible.

I should go apologize.

Don't!

She did it to herself.

And it serves her right.

She's always bullying us.

Ella, yo, that was amazing.

You ladies bested Uliana!

I don't think anyone's
ever done that before.

And that makes you braver than I am.

And I'm a prince.

Though I don't really like
to push the royal angle.

Yet you always find a way.

You're the new girls, right?

I'm Charming.

That's debatable.

And you guys picked
the right time to show up

because it's Castlecoming week.

Castlecoming is an outdated,
elitist tradition.

Does that mean you're not...

Squeezing into
a super-expensive dress and painful shoes?

No thanks.

Well, if you happen to change your mind,

I'll see you there.

[Chloe] Hey, Ella.

He seemed pretty interested
in your plans for the festival.

Was I sensing some chemistry?

Uh, no.

Okay, yeah, everyone loves him,

and sure, he's gorgeous and he seems nice,

but you know how royalty is,

well, except for you, B.

You're different.

I just wish someone
was that interested in going with me.

Everyone already has plans, so...

Bridget, will you go
to Castlecoming with me?

But, you just said...

Yeah, I despise everything it stands for.

But if we go as friends,
maybe it won't be totally awful.

[giggles] We have to
try on dresses right now!

We only have two days.

[Ella] I can't, I have to get back home.

But maybe later.

Okay.

-See you later. Bye!
-Bye.

Gonna find the perfect dress!

[Ella] I better get home.

Two days until my mom gets pranked.

It's not enough time.

It's gonna have to be.

I just... I can't believe
my mom was so sweet.

[plays random notes]

Tell me about it.

My mom's supposed to be
the most perfect, gracious queen ever.

Ella seems like
she can't even stand royalty.

Yeah, you know,
the craziest thing of it all...

-They were best friends.
-They were best friends.

Okay, well, now the question is,

how do we stop Uliana before Castlecoming?

First, we have to figure out
what she's planning.

Bugs in Bridget's dress?

Or... Or something with snakes?

So many good options.

[chimes sounding]

So, let's find out more about Uliana.

You think my mom might know?

Maybe.

Plus she's closest to Bridget.

So, she'll know her weaknesses
and exactly how to stab her in the back.

[drum pounds]

You have some serious intimacy issues.

[Red] This is where Cinderella grew up?

[Chloe] I hope not.

[bird squawks]

Whoa. This place is not what I expected.

[knocks]

What are you guys doing here?

We came to see you.

[Evil Stepmother] Who's there?

Just some girls from school!

Well, get back to work or no supper!

Sorry, my stepmom is...

A total witch?

I get it, my mom never let me
have friends over.

Or have friends.

Really?

Okay, you guys can stay,
but you have to help me with my chores.

[Chloe] Oh.

Here you go. The floor needs mopping.

And over there needs dusting.

[Red] You do all the house work?

-Yeah, all on me.
-Oh.

Whoa!

Hey, it's time to lose the glass shoes.

These were from my mom.

They were a reward.

A reward for what?

For volunteering, being good at school,
and being a good person.

I mean, does it really count
as being a good person

if you're getting a reward for it?

So, Ella, that thing with Uliana
at school, it's pretty wild. Huh?

[Ella] Seriously.

Well, she's as bad as Ursula,
Uliana's older sister.

And the worst bully
this school has ever seen.

One time she turned
all the freshmen into frogs.

Now Uliana thinks
she has to be even meaner

to try and live up to her reputation.

But why does Uliana
have it out for Bridget?

Bridget is so nice.

Exactly.

Bullies love an easy target,
and Bridget's weak.

You think Bridget's weak?

Hey, look.

Uliana is mean to everyone.

Most people just stay out of her way.

But no matter how nasty Uliana gets,

Bridget keeps trying to be friends.

That's what Uliana can't stand.

Wait, so, you're saying
Bridget's strong because she's nice?

Bridget is the strongest person I know.

She's kind, even when
people are awful to her.

You know how hard that is?

Never thought about it.

Say we wanted to find Uliana,
where do you think she'd be?

Probably the Black Lagoon.

That's where all the VKs hang out.

-[Chloe] Ooh!
-[gasps]

[Evil Stepmother] What was that?

[Ella] Nothing, Stepmother!

Quick, sweep it into the fireplace.
She'll never know.

[Chloe] It was an honest mistake.

It was my fault.

But I'm very sorry,
and it won't ever happen again.

You let this stranger into my house

and let her break my beautiful things?

-Unacceptable.
-But I said I was sorry.

Well, sorry doesn't buy me
a new vase now, does it?

And furthermore, you are grounded.

And tonight, you can sleep in the barn.

Anastasia, Drizella!

It's time for your dress fitting.

Ella, I'm...

I'm so sorry.

Sorry doesn't get me ungrounded, you know?

Next time don't be such a princess.

But that was so unfair!

You know what's unfair?

My mom died when I was so little,
I barely even remember.

My dad got remarried and then he died too.

And since then,
this is the only family I've known.

And no matter how good I am,
they still treat me like dirt.

Yeah, it's unfair...

'Cause life isn't fair.

Just leave.

We should give her a little time.

So this is the Black Lagoon.

[creature howling in distance]

[people laughing]

[Hook] I thought you were
a beautiful flamingo, Uli.

[Uliana] Knock it off!

It's the VKs.

[all cackling]

[cackling]

We'll bake our own treat.

And turn her into a monster.

[cackles]

[Red panting]

[creature growls]

[Red] What was that?

Come on.

[both panting]

[screams]

-[screeches]
-[grunts]

[Red] You okay?

Yeah.

Thanks.

You're no good to me as fish food.

We can still stop them
before Castlecoming.

-But that means...
-We got a book to find.

Where could that book be?

Who could we ask?

Not Ella.

I still can't believe
how awful her family was to her.

I just... I don't understand
how someone could grow up like that,

and then turn into, well, my mom.

I mean, how can one person change so much?

Tell me about it.

My mom changed her entire personality.

It's like everything she does now
is to make people afraid of her and...

And to hide the fact
that she used to actually be nice.

Well, whatever we do,

we have to make sure
that she stays that way.

My mom's life depends on it.

Think about it.

What if your mom had grown up
to be like Bridget?

You mean completely clueless?

Or kind, generous and open-hearted.

She wouldn't have become a tyrant.

Yeah, I could eat what I want,
and sleep when I want,

and wear what I want, and be what I want.

I'd be free of my mom,
and her rules, and her judge-y face.

She might not be judge-y at all.

She might be loving and kind.

It doesn't matter.
It's not like I actually care about that.

I think maybe you do.

Speakin' of Bridget...

What if the watch brought us back here
because what you really want

is a mom who can love you
the way that you are?

A mom more like Bridget.

She'd probably still be making cupcakes.

[Red] That's it.
We should ask Bridget about the cookbook.

[Bridget] Mmm-hmm. Perfect.

I keep messing up that last bit.

But it's okay, I'll get there.

Let me clean this up real quick.

Wow. Your room, it's so wonderful.

Oh. Yeah, thanks.

It reminds me of home.

Where I come from,
there's a rule against all of this.

Who's against fun?

Our queen.

-AKA, my mom.
-[Bridget] Oh.

She also hates my style, the way I think,

you know, everything about me.

[Bridget] I'm sorry, Red.

I can't imagine having a mom like that.

She's the only one I've ever known.

Well, if I was your mom,

I'd love to have a daughter
who thinks for herself.

Is that The Looking Glass?

[Bridget] Oh. Yeah.

You've heard of it?

I've read about it.

It was a gift.

It's been in the Wonderland
royal line for ages.

What's it do?

It shows you the future.

Have you looked?

No, no, no, no.

I love surprises.

I mean, why would I wanna
spoil the future?

I'm sure it'll be wonderful. [giggles]

Anyway, we were hoping you might
be able to help us find a cookbook.

Yeah. Well, then you've got
the right girl!

I mean, I have every cookbook ever.

Even The Sorcerer's Cookbook?

Hmm. Let me look.

[King Charming] Let me go.

[Queen of Hearts] Oh, Charming.

So nice to see you again.

[King Charming] Where is she?

Where's Cinderella?

Why?

[King Charming] No.

Are you looking for these?

What have you done?

[Queen of Hearts] Not so funny now, am I?

[King Charming] No.

Wh...

No...

-[Queen of Hearts cackles]
-No!

No!

Okay, so... not good.

[music playing indistinctly]

That's weird, yeah,
I thought I had them all.

Well, except the banned ones.

Where would we find the banned ones?

[Bridget] We don't.

They're dangerous.

That's why Principal Merlin
locked them up in his office.

And enchanted them so no troublemakers
can get their hands on them.

Now that we know where the book is,
I think the solution is clear.

For sure.

There's only one option.

Yeah.

It's time to tell Principal Merlin.

We need to come clean. He can help us.

No. Help us?

You think he'll just hand over
a banned book because we asked him?

Do you have a better idea?

Yeah.

We do it ourselves.

We break in and steal it.

That's what Uliana's gonna do.

Unless we get there first.

You wanna break in
to the Principal's office?

It's enchanted.

And Castlecoming is tomorrow.

We only have one shot to get this right.
And your idea is to steal?

And your plan is to go tell the teacher?

You're such a goody-goody.

I'd rather be a goody-goody
than a bad person.

-You sound like your mom.
-Thank you.

How'd that work out for her?

Wow.

You know, you are evil.

Just like your mom.

Yeah, maybe...

But I'm gonna get us outta here.

[sighs]

Hey.

Can I talk to you about something?

Normally, I'd talk to my mom
when I have a problem,

but she's far away right now. So...

Say you have a friend...

Well, not a friend
but someone you know who's a bad person.

And how do you know they're a bad person?

'Cause she says so herself.

Bad people don't think that they're bad.

Trust me, I live with one.

What if she keep pushing you
to do something bad,

but she says it's for a good reason?

It looks beautiful.

Nice weeding, Princess.

I knew you'd have the answer.

Thanks.

[thunder rumbling]

Coast is clear.

Not yet.

What are you doing here?

Getting my hands dirty.

You're gonna break
into the Principal's office?

It's for a good cause.

Oh.

And you're already justifying your crimes?

Love it.

Morgie, honey, you keep lookout, okay?

If you see Merlin coming, give a signal.

Should I do a wolf howl?

Or like a dog howl?

I can do different dogs.

[Red] I'll check up there.

Wait. I think I see it.
The big one with the claws.

[Red strains]

[owl hooting]

Almost got it.

Oh, boy.

Run!

Move.

Let's go.

[Chloe] Oh, no.
The owl, he's gonna tell Merlin.

[grunts]

[owl hooting]

[gasps]

Red, I can hold them.

Grab the book!

No!

-[hoots]
-[grunts]

Red!

Hey!

[thunder crashes]

[Chloe] They're disappearing.

I think I can make it.

Oh, no!

Red, watch out!

[Red] The owl, he got the book.

[Chloe] We got 'em.

Are you okay?

Those were from your mom.

It was time to lose the glass shoes.

[footsteps approaching]

Wow.

What a performance.

Well...

I'll be taking that.

[chuckles]

[Red] Hey,
get your slimy suckers off that!

-Aw!
-I don't think so.

It's over.

There's too many of them.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

Finally.

[chuckles excitedly]

Let's see what kind of mischief
you've got for me.

I can't move.

[laughs]

[VKs grunting]

-[Uliana groans]
-[laughs]

Hex yeah!

-[Hook grunts]
-Hmm.

-[body thuds]
-[Uliana yelps]

[Hook] Hey.

No. [grunts]

New shoes?

My treat.

Nice.

[chuckles]

How did you know that was gonna happen?

Bridget said that
Merlin enchanted the cookbook

so it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

Oh. Right.

You should probably open this then.

These are definitely the wrong hands.

No.

You do it.

Um...

I'm evil like my mom, remember?

You're nothing like your mom, Red.

You're your own person.

You're a good person.

No.

Chloe, I lie.

Cheat.

I steal.

I'm a lost cause.

Well, you also just stood up to a bully.

And you risked your own life to save mine.

And right now, you're saving Auradon.

I thought that being good
was about following the rules.

But turns out,
it's a lot more complicated.

You do so much good, Red.

I'm sorry it took me so long to see it.

You got this.

Okay.

[chuckles in relief]

Told you.

Blasted owl.

Ooh, Archimedes better be right this time.

[howls]

[barking]

Bloody quick!

[meows]

[continues barking]

Wait, how did you know?

Yeah, I was, like, 80 percent max.

I could've been perma-frozen,
and you were only 80 percent?

-[chuckles nervously]
-[Merlin sneezing]

Rain, rain, rain.

Stupendous. Now I'm getting a cold.

Where's the key? Blasted owl.

[Hook groaning]

Oh, hello, down there.

Well, I hope you enjoy detention,

since you've just signed up for years.

[all groan]

[laughs] Did you see Uliana's face
when she opened up the book?

She was like... [groans]

I wish I could see her while she's stuck
at home on the night of Castlecoming.

-I bet she's like... "Hmm!"
-[laughs]

Wait, are we sure that she won't be there?

Uh, yeah. The VKs are gonna
be in detention forever.

And even if they could go to Castlecoming,

with no cookbook,
there's no way they can do the prank.

-We did it.
-[exclaims excitedly]

We can go back?

We can go home.

Yeah.

But what if we go back
and my mom is still... My mom?

Even if she is,
you're not gonna end up like her.

And this?

This is proof.

You saved my mom's life.

Here.

This belongs to you.

Ready?

Ready.

-[Queen of Hearts] Off with her head.
-[Chloe] Mom!

[Cinderella]
I will never kneel to a tyrant.

-First dance.
-[Godmother] Bibbidi-bobbidi...

[Red] It's my life!

[Uma] What's my name?

-[pirates] Uma!
-[crowd applauding]

[Uma] That's Principal Uma to you.

And you better get it straight,

or you'll be walking the plank.

She's just kidding.

[chuckles] She's kidding.

Now, I never got the chance
to go to Auradon Prep.

But as its captain,

I'm proud to be charting a new course
into a bright future.

Excuse me.

Do you mind?

[Queen of Hearts] I do, actually.

Mom, what are you doing?

Why, playing my favorite game.

Hearts!

[Godmother] Oh, I love bubbles!

I love it.

I'm so sorry, I couldn't help myself!

I'm just so excited
for my daughter to be here.

[crowd] Aw!

Well, nothing I say is gonna top that.

So, have a great year, y'all.

[all applauding]

You saved our moms.

You changed history.

No, we did it.

[vocalizing]

You know, Mom,
you actually are really wonderful.

-[laughs]
-[dance music playing]

[Chloe] Mom!

[Cinderella] There she is.

[Uma] Aw! What a sweet, happy ending.

Everybody got what they wanted.

But getting what you want
can be dangerous.

Especially when you mess
with the fabric of time.

You didn't think
that was the end of this story, did you?
