After the lackluster episode last week, we finally get another pretty good episode. It’s got all the things we want! Cool Villainess moments! Liz’s followers being big meanies! Prince Duke being a creepy! Mel doting on Ali-Ali! Oh, and plot. That’s right, the plot actually moves a few steps.

We get reminded that Laval has been doing… SOMETHING in the background to antagonize the kingdom. Seriously, for some kind of maleficent nation their schemes are as deep as TPing a house. And of course it all comes back to Roana. It’s like all of the world’s problems have to end up there or something.

Then we see Liz use both her light and dark side powers to manipulate Gill and Ms. Freckles, respectively. Ms. Freckles decides to cut some hair without a license, which is a big no-no. So Alicia steps in and sets the new fashion trend.

I found this interesting because Alicia’s really cool Villainess moment there actually served to gain her supporters and loosen Liz’s stranglehold on the students. We also see Duke able to pull Gill out of the brainwashing. It really makes me wonder what the special conditions for Liz’s spell actually are.

Speaking of Liz’s spell, we see Mel at the end discovering just what ability Liz has been using this entire time! And then of course the episode ends

I’m really looking forward to the reveal next week!
