They're on patrol again?

Remember the good old days

when the teachers could just teach
and the students could just student?

We'll get back there soon. I promise.

Huh?

Layla! You scared me.

What are you doing out
this close to curfew?

Layla? Hello?

Layla?

Layla!

Uh… What?

You okay?

Oh, uh… hi, guys.

What are you doing with the tiara?

Um… I don't know.

I… I think they asked.

I was gonna find out
where the next Fairy Gemstone was?

-Who asked? Valentina?
-No.

I don't know. Maybe I imagined it?

I must have dozed off
in the library and sleepwalked here.

Guess I've been pretty stressed
with all the gemstone and Grimoria stuff.

I hear you. We all have.

So we really need to find
the next Fairy Gemstone.

Tomorrow. Layla obviously needs rest.

We all do.

Sleep well, Layla.

Whoa!

You'd think we'd figure out
how to stick the landing by now.

Come on. Let's check the map.

You feeling better, Layla?

Yeah, I guess I just needed some sleep.

Isn't Valentina coming?

She was gone when I woke up.
I figured she'd meet us here.

I, for one, am ready
for some swashbuckling.

What do you think "swashbuckling" means?

-Wait. What
does
it mean?
-Okay, Layla, where are we headed?

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Look at the angle
and the distance from the academy.

There's a mountain range there.

And this must be Mount Equus.

Yes! Tall, rocky, and dangerous. Ha ha!

Perfect for swashbuckling.

"Swashbuckle" means
to engage in daring adventures.

I'd say taking on Mount Equus
is pretty daring.

And you all doubted me.

Okay, let's swashbuckle.

Whoa!

Sheesh, Cinder, you're looking rough.

Uh-oh.

I think he's got Cornicove fever.

I just read about it
in
Unicorn Maladies and How to Mend Them.

Glacier had a zit.

We'd better tell Valentina.

Tell me what?

Uh…

Oh, hey, Val.

Cinder's sick, and apparently, so are you.

Uh, Val, you got
a little something right, um…

Perfect.

Were you sleeping in the stables?

No! I was resting my eyes
after taking care of Cinder.

And I'm not sick.

It's dusty in here.

Yikes! The book did say
that a unicorn and their rider

can experience the same symptoms
when their connection is strong.

Aw, that's so…

…sweet.

Sorry you're not well, Val.

We'll hunt down the next gemstone
on Mount Equus,

but I think you should sit this one out.

No way. I'm coming with you.

Uh… maybe we could wait a bit
and go once Val is feeling better?

We're so close
to putting the tiara back together.

Every second we waste
is a second the island's unprotected.

No offense, but we can't have you two
slowing us down.

Offense extremely taken.

Ugh! Okay, listen.
I already have a gemstone.

Me and Riv can stay back with Val.
If they feel better later, we'll catch up.

I feel "fibe"!

I'll believe you
when you can pronounce the letter N.

We should go before Mr. Tansy realizes

that the mannequins
in the Astronomy Tower are not us.

-Bye!
-Feel better!

-Bye. Get better soon.
-Bye!

This is gonna be fun.

There you go. Now I'll be right back
with a cup of Sun Pearl tea.

You already made me tea.

And now I'm gonna make you more.

Hydration is key.

Cousin! Your face!

It's pale and clammy
and painful to the eye.

You know what's painful? Betrayal.

So true.

I can't believe they left without me.

I should be finding my gemstone,

but instead I'm stuck here
with a tea-obsessed freak.

You mean the others are looking for
a Fairy Gemstone without you?

Real friends would have wanted
to bring you along despite all…

…this.

No, I know!

But Sophia said I'd slow them down,

even though I feel completely "fibe"!

Uh… yeah, you're the picture of health.

Can I say something?
Oh, I shouldn't. But should I?

Okay, I will.

I know you like her,
but Sophia seems a little…

Bossy? Because she is!

It's always
her
missions,
her
ideas.

But the Fairy Tiara is
my
thing.

And by the way, so are leather jackets!

Oh, they really are.

Listen, we are Furies, and Sophia?

Huh, she could never.

But all that really matters
is who puts the Fairy Tiara together.

It's meant to be you, Valentina.

And you'll save the world from grim magic,
just like Solaira did.

Let Sophia think she's in control now,

but at the end of the day,
make sure
you
have the gemstones.

A Furi never lets anything stop her
from getting what's hers.

The music is getting louder.
We must be close now.

Hope so,
because we've been riding forever,

and I have a rule
about being this high up.

It's "Don't do it."

Oh! We found it.

Great. Let's grab it
and get off this mountain.

-Huh?
-Hold on.

I know I've seen this type of nest before,

but I can't remember
what creature it belongs to.

Sounds like whatever it is,
it's coming back. We'd better hurry.

Sophia, wait!

Whoa!

Rory! Layla!

Ava?

Aah! Uh, where are you?

Your friends can't help you now.

You're all alone with me!

Now, this one is also Sun Pearl.

But with a splash of honey.

I think you'll really taste
the difference.

Ugh! No! No more tea!

Ugh, what is taking them so long?
They must be messing it up.

They obviously need my help.

The others have this handled.

Just trust them.

You need rest.

Sophia!

Storm! Can you stop this?

Try snow on snow, Glacier.

What kind of blizzard is this?

Found it!
The creature that built this nest is…

Oh, no.

Really friendly and easy to defeat?

It's a grim creature called a Snowshifter.

When threatened,
it creates a blizzard around its attacker,

then uses magic
to make them see their worst fears.

You really think a few Fairy Gemstones
will save you?

Gah! How do you know about that?

I know everything.

And spoiler alert,

your little tiara plan
isn't going to work.

Ugh.

What? Well, how are you doing this?

I'm stronger than ever, thanks to you!

No!

I am unstoppable!

No! Huh?

Stop!

Hold on, Wildstar!

Oh, good. Daddy has come to tell you
how proud he is of you.

What?

Dad?

Sophia, I told you not to come for me.
Why didn't you listen?

Uh… I wanted to save you.

After all I sacrificed
to protect Unicorn Island from Grimoria,

you brought it right back.

Uh, I… I'm sorry. I… I was just trying to…

You don't deserve to be a unicorn rider.

What?

Hey.

-You all right?
-All your tea made me tired.

Or maybe you're tired because you're sick.

Fine! I'm sick, okay? You win.

Hey, I hate being benched too.

I have nightmares about it all the time.

Like, why would Coach take me out
when we were about to crush the Martians?

Huh?

Listen, sometimes being benched
is a good thing.

It gives you time to rest
so you can get back in the game

and score the winning point.

I'll take that
as a "You're right, Isabel."

Now, what can I do
to make you feel better?

I guess I am hungry.

Perfect!

I'm gonna make you Melioroot soup,

a Unicorn Island specialty
that'll make you feel better in no time.

Hah! Sorry, Coach. The bench isn't for me.

Cinder…

Cinder!

Oh, good. You're awake.

I know you're sick.
It's hard to tell, but I'm sick too.

But I won't let that stop us
from going on that gem hunt.

Like Serena said,

"A Furi stops at nothing
to get what's hers."

That's the spirit. Ah!

Come on. If we hurry,
we can catch up to the others.

It won't be long now, Encore.

I'm really going to bring
the Fairy Tiara back.

Imagine it.

I'll take all of Unicorn Island's magic
for myself,

humiliate Grandmama
and all the Furis who doubted me,

then back to the real world
where I belong.

And you'll come with me, of course.

With the power of the Fairy Tiara,
anything I want will be mine.

A film career, a castle with adoring fans
to serve my every whim.

That will show Grandmama
what I'm capable of.

Okay, Val.

No Melioroot soup, but I did find
some gently used chicken noodle…

Honestly, Iz, this one's on you.

What does
The Sparkle Book
say
about Snowshifters? How do we save Sophia?

I don't know!
There's nothing here about stopping them.

They're not supposed to be
on Unicorn Island.

That's why my motto is
"Never trust books." It's time for action!

Hyah!

Whoa!

-Rory!
-Storm!

You don't mean it, Dad, uh…

Being a unicorn rider is everything to me.
It's my destiny.

Then you are failing miserably.

You can't even protect your own unicorn.

No! No, Wildstar!

Wildstar!

-You shouldn't be at Unicorn Academy.
-What?

-You're selfish.
-You're reckless.

-You're a terrible friend.
-You only make things worse.

-Your fault!
-Selfish.

-How could you?
-Do us all a favor and disappear.

-No!
-You don't belong here.

-Please stop!
-You put everyone you love at risk.

What?

-Stop, please!
-You're reckless.

You're going to destroy Unicorn Island.

No, you're wrong!

Just leave me alone!

You're doing great, Cinder.

Nothing's gonna stop us now.

Hold your breath, okay? Try not to…

Don't worry!

It's… gonna… be okay…

Cinder! Oh!

River, douse 'em!

Valentina, are you okay?

Isabel, if you hadn't come…

It all happened so fast.

Cinder started sneezing,
then the fire spread,

and then I couldn't stop it, and…

Cinder?

Where are you going? Cinder! Come back!

Cinder, come back!

Cinder! Let me help you!

Cinder.

Cinder, it's okay.

Nobody got hurt.

What happened wasn't your fault.
I never should have forced you out.

You're sick. You should be back
in the stables getting better.

Whoa!

Cinder.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Attaboy, River.

I'm… sorry about today.

I just hate feeling vu… vul…

vul…

Vulnerable?

That's the word.

But maybe just this once,

it'd be okay if someone took care of me?

You got it. When we get back,
I'm gonna make you a nice cup of--

No!

No more tea!

Rory, are you okay?

Uh…

Hangin' in there.

Hey, I think I can see my room from here.

Huh?

Is that the Snowshifter?

Hey, quit messing with my friends!

Storm, bring the wind!

Glacier, hit her with the time freeze.

Sophia!

-What?
-It's okay, Sophia. It's us.

Sophia! Are you okay?

Wh… what happened?

You were trapped by a grim creature
that made you see your worst fears.

None of… that was real?

No. You're safe.

The Snowshifter must have thought
you and Wildstar were after her eggs.

She was protecting her young.

Whoa!

Aw! Don't worry.
I'm more of a waffle guy myself.

Whoa!

Swashbuckle accomplished.

Congratulations, Rory.

Oh, right. Sorry. Glacier?

I can't believe a grim creature
made it all the way up here.

Yeah, nowhere is safe anymore.

What did you see in there?

It doesn't matter.
We should get back to school.

Mmm.

Aah!

It feels so good to be able to breathe
through my nose again.

-I'll take that as a--
-Great idea, Isabel. Yeah, yeah.

Hi!

Great. The heroes have returned.

Ooh. Unicorn spa day?

-Aah! That's the stuff.
-Hey, guys!

-Wow, Val. You're looking better.
-Hey, how did it go? Is everyone okay?

Hmm!

Let's just say your boy swashbuckled hard
and saved Sophia from a frozen grim death.

That's not exactly what happened.

It is and it isn't.

Anyway, yeah, we got the gemstone.

Perfect. Everyone has one but me.

Be grateful you didn't come.

Uh…

One more gemstone and we'll be able
to put the Fairy Tiara back together.

I say we go find out where it is.

Ah! I would like to use this moment
to thank the academy,

my parents, my peers, and--

Ugh! Hurry it up!
I want to know where my gemstone is.

-Why does it look like that?
-Is that…

The last gemstone is on…

Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

Grimoria!
