-We have to go!
-Not without that gemstone!

Wildstar!

Wildstar.

Wildstar.

Please. I'm here. I'm here for you.

We need to get her out of here!

No! Stay back!

Stay away from my best friend!

-Come on, Storm!
-Water blast! Now, Glacier!

We can still do this.

Wildstar. Please, no!

Hand over the gemstone. It's mine!

-Wildstar!
-Help her, Leaf!

We need to get her out of here now!

Come on, Leaf! We have to go.

Rory, Layla, we have to leave!

Ow!

Couldn't agree more.

Let's go, Storm.

Val, come on!

-But, but…
-Now, Val!

Glacier, ice wall!

Sorry to see you rush off. Oh, well.

When you want your pretty little gem back,
you know where to find it.

Stay with me, girl.

Keep going, Wildstar.

She needs help! Somebody help!

Wildstar!

We need the healer!
Somebody get Primrose, now!

I'm afraid she has not responded
to any disciplinary action.

And--

Ms. Rosemary, I am with a parent.

-It's the Sapphires. They're in trouble.
-What? Again?

Miles, you need to come now.

Wait, Ms. Primrose, wait!

Wildstar!

I've never seen a bite like this.

Please, no!

-The venom is taking hold.
-They're here!

Oh, who's that?

-It's okay, Sophia.
-I'm so sorry.

-Just give the healer room.
-No! Please!

Wildstar! Please! Please!

-Sophia, it's gonna be okay.
-Aah!

Oh! If that's a teacher,
I'm definitely signing up for their class!

Wildstar!

The wound is deep,
but our magic's stronger.

-Mom?
-"Mom"?

-Oh!
-Twist!

Sophia.

I have

so many questions.

I know, but right now, Solitaire and I
need to neutralize the venom.

Grim magic's not something
you can shrug off.

Whoa!

Oh! Val! Are you okay? Are you hurt?

I'm okay.

Where's the last gemstone?

-Serena, Ravenzella took it.
-You didn't get it?

What?

We'll think of something.
I'm just glad you're okay.

Your mom was amazing.
How come you never told us about her?

I… I didn't know.

I'm just glad
she was there to help Wildstar.

Um, if everyone's done
fangirling over Sophia's mom,

can we talk about the big problem?

Ravenzella's got my Fairy Gemstone.

In case you forgot,
we can't complete the Fairy Tiara

without all six gemstones.

We didn't have a choice.
We had to save Wildstar.

We shouldn't have been there.
I knew it was gonna be trouble.

How did this all go so wrong?

Sapphires!

-We were just--
-Enough!

I have been more than patient
with this dorm, Ms. Mendoza.

Oof. Last names?

I have given you so many second chances,

but you have repeatedly jeopardized
the safety of yourselves and this school.

And now, a unicorn was gravely injured
by your reckless behavior.

I don't know what else I can do with you.

Are we gonna get expelled?

That remains to be seen.

-What?
-Not again.

I will be speaking to you all individually
in my office,

then I will make my decision.

Isabel, I will speak to you first.

It's okay, boy.

Wish me luck.

Uh…

I…

If we get expelled,
we'll never see our unicorns again.

And I'll be the first Furi
kicked out of Unicorn Academy!

And on the day before
the Solaira Festival!

I didn't tell her about the gemstones,

just that we were trying
to protect the school.

Let me guess, all is forgiven,
skyberry pie for everyone?

I tried covering for us,
but… it didn't sound good.

-I haven't taken Mythic Metallurgy !
-Unfair!

Hey, hey! I know a thing or two
about getting in trouble.

What we need is an alibi for why
we went to Grimoria in the first place.

So let's hear some excuses, people.

I don't wanna be
that
girl,

but I have always said
going to Grimoria was a bad idea.

What? You literally insisted we go.

-I did?
-Layla, what's up with you?

You've been sleepwalking,
forgetting things…

Sleepwalking, great excuse.

I… uh, I just haven't felt like myself.

Hmm. There must be some explanation.

We can play doctor later, but right now,
can we focus on not getting expelled?

Doctor… Doctor's note. Is that anything?

The Fairy Tiara.

If we restore it to its full power,
it could fix all of this.

Wildstar would be okay,
and we'd get rid of grim magic,

and Ms. Primrose would have to forgive us.

The Fairy Tiara
is the answer to everything.

-Sophia, you can't be saying that we--
-Uh…

We need to go back to Grimoria
for the gemstone.

-You serious?
-That'd make things worse!

I hate to agree with her,
but the tiara could fix this.

Enough! There is no fixing this!

It doesn't matter
if we had good intentions.

We were reckless,
and now we have to own the consequences.

We had to. We wanted
to make things better for everyone.

You wanted to make things better
for yourself!

You were so worried
about what people thought about you,

it's like you don't even see
what being your friend has cost us!

What it cost me.

Ava, Ms. Primrose will see you now.

I…

I need to check on Wildstar.

Whatever is going on with me,
it's definitely not grimpox,

siren's cough, or malevolent mumps.

It's not toad's breath, skyberry fever,
or gremlin rot.

You've seen me look like this?

"Symptoms of this ailment include
sleepwalking, gaps in memory…"

Do you think I'm being hypnotized?

Whew, that was a lot.

You'll be fine as long as you don't
mention anything about anything.

Layla! I will see you now.

Oh!

Ahem. You got this.

Hey, girl. How are you feeling?

I'm so… so sorry, Wildstar.

I never should have taken you to Grimoria.

Everyone warned me,
but I still led us all there.

There's my girls.

Dad. You're here too?

We came as fast as we could.

I'm so glad you're okay.

How are you, my friend?

She's strong.

Easy. You're still on the mend.

Mom?

Oh, Sophia. Let's get you some food.

I think we have a lot to catch up on.

I'd say so.

Rest up, girl.

-Oof!
-Oof!

Okay, I know
the Solaira Festival's a big deal,

but is this really the time for a party?

We got attacked by Ravenzella,
Grimoria's there, we might get expelled--

This festival is in celebration
of unicorn riders.

I won't allow us to cancel it
just to live in fear of Grimoria.

That goes against Solaira Furi's legacy.

I thought you of all people understood
what it meant to be a unicorn rider.

Now I'm not so sure.

Yeah, Val. The show must go on.

-My fans are lining up for me.
-Serena!

-I'm your biggest fan!
-Oh, me!

Glad you're treating this occasion
with the respect it deserves.

I hope to see you at the festival.

Assuming Ms. Primrose excuses
your recent misadventure.

Grandmama's never talked to me
like that before.

What? Like she's disappointed in you?

Welcome to the club.

But we'll show her
when she sees us with the Fairy Tiara.

Too bad Ravenzella's got
the last Fairy Gemstone.

What if I could get it?

You'd go after the stone yourself?

I have a plan.

All I need is a little help from you
at the party.

Face it, Val,
your friends couldn't cut it.

But
we
can save this island ourselves.
Then everyone will see what we're made of.

But until we see this through,

it has to stay between us.

Valentina, please come with me.

Once you have
my signature pink pumpkin sopaipillas,

you'll turn that frown upside down.

I can't believe you went here too.

Uh… I don't get it.
You never talked about it.

You never visited.
How could you just leave it all behind?

I loved unicorn riding.

But I chose something else.

A life on the mainland. A ranch. A family.

And after Miles disappeared,

I didn't want you and your brother
to lose both your parents.

But I didn't leave it all behind.

Wait. Is that Mary Lou?

Oh! I didn't recognize you.
You're so colorful as a unicorn.

Her name was Solitaire,

but we chose something "ranchier"
when we moved off island.

So you know Wildstar?

Wildstar's gonna be okay, I promise.

I never should have put her in danger.

Sophia, what were you doing in Grimoria?

We were looking for the last piece
of the Fairy Tiara.

The
Fairy Tiara? Like in the story?

It's real.

I thought I could use its power
to make Grimoria disappear like you did.

Oh, my shining star.

It doesn't matter what I did.

I want you to find your own path.

But the tiara could make
everything right again.

I know your heart is in the right place,

but our actions have consequences,
even ones we didn't plan for.

I don't get it.

I wanna be there for my friends,
for Wildstar.

But how can I do that now?

I thought being a unicorn rider
was my destiny.

-All I've done is put everyone in danger.
-Oh, Sophia.

You talk about destiny
like it's something that happens to you,

but it's the choices you make
that shape your future.

It's never too late to do the right thing.

They're really good, Dad.

Sophia?

It's time.

I've been thinking a lot
about what we did.

And even if we meant well,

Wildstar got hurt.

And it could have been even worse.
I'm sorry.

This school, my friends, Wildstar,
they all deserve better.

So you should know…

…going to Grimoria

was my idea.

I forced everyone else into it.

The only person
who deserves to be punished

is me.

If you alone are responsible,

you will bear the full consequences.

Do you understand?

Yes, Ms. Primrose.

It gives me no pleasure to do this,
but, Sophia,

you are hereby

expelled from Unicorn Academy.

Oh, it's like you warned me.

The Sapphires tried to cover
for each other,

but she admitted it was all her idea,
just like you said.

I hate snitching,
but I was worried about my cousin.

That girl is a bad seed.

Expelling her was the only choice.

Well, hello.

I know you don't know me,
but how would you feel about a trade?

Someone as clever as you
wouldn't turn down a fair deal.

Here you go, girl.

You're gonna be okay.

I… I just…

I love you so much.

Sophia, wait!

We were in this together.
Why take the blame?

Because you all deserve to stay.
You're meant to be unicorn riders, not me.

What about Wildstar?

Sh!

-You haven't told her?
-I want her to focus on getting better.

And then… then maybe
she can find a rider worthy of her.

I made this healing poultice
from the garden.

I'll give it to Wildstar
every day for you.

Thanks, Ava.

This can't just be goodbye.

Hmm?

It's time for the festival.

I know you all
can take care of yourselves.

But, uh,

be careful.

Just promise that you'll…

…try to have fun at the party.

I promise we won't.

-Weird. Where's Sophia?
-You didn't hear?

Oh, I'm so sorry, Val,
but Ms. Primrose expelled her.

She what?

-I have to go--
-It's okay, cousin. It won't be in vain.

We can still finish this.

Now, focus.

I'll get the last Fairy Gemstone,

but you need to gather the rest
in time for my show.

Like, take them from my friends?

Remember why we're doing this.

The good of the island.

I'm on it.

You and me.

We're gonna change everything.

Best party ever.

This is all wrong.

Everyone's so happy,
but how can they be when Sophia is gone?

Ready to go?

Were you?

Sophia! Wait!

-I'm appealing your case!
-I'll write daily!

School won't be the same without you!

Huh?

What? No!

Huh? Look out!

Hold on!

-Sophia? Sophia!
-I'm coming!

Sophia!
