Mal returned to her place after giving her rival, Uma, a little visit. That little visit had turned into Mal now having to give Uma the wand in return for Cori and Ben. The others have reacted badly and Mal was pacing back and forth for a solution.
"There's no way we're gonna give Uma the wand. We can't just let her destroy Auradon." Evie said quickly.
"Uma doesn't get the wand, then Ben and Cori are toast, guys." Carlos said.
"Right, so, we're gonna give Uma, of all people, the wand." Evie said to Carlos.
"Do we have another choice?" Jay spoke up. Mal stopped her pacing and looked at her friends, an idea in her head.
"Wait! You guys! Your 3D printer." Mal said, pointing at Carlos. Carlos nodded, knowing what she was thinking.
"A phony wand?" Carlos asked.
"Yes!"
"In my sleep." Carlos said.
"And the second Uma tests it, she'll know it's fake." Evie added.
"Well, okay, so then we just get them out really fast. We need some kind of diversion." Mal said, talking about Cori and Ben.
"Smoke bombs!" Jay suggested.
"That's perfect. I'll get the chemicals I need from Lady Tremaine's place. That could work." Evie walked over to Mal to leave, but just had finally noticed Mal's new hair style. "Sick hair, by the way. Evil Stepmom seriously stepped up her game."
"Okay, do you want to know something? Dizzy did this." Mal said. Evie stood shock and proud.
"Little Dizzy? Shut up!"
"I know. I'm, like, loving it. It's, like, a lot lighter."
"Really proud of her." Evie said. Jay cleared his voice to get their attention
"Hello?" Carlos said, getting their attention and wanting them to leave.
"Right."
"Carlos, Jay, you guys meet us at Pirates Bay no later than noon. And, you guys, losing--not an option. 'Cause we're rotten..." Mal said.
"To the core." They finished.
"Let's do this." Before Mal and Evie could walk out, Anthony stepped in with Orion behind him with a black eye.
"Not so fast, guys." Anthony stopped, his hands in a stop motion.
"What's he doing here?" Jay asked. The VKs glared at Orion and he did the same to them. They knew very well that Orion worked for Uma for as long as they could remember.
"I have news to share. It's big." Anthony said, drawing the attention away from Orion and on to him. They saw the worried look on his face and panicked a little.
"What? We don't have time and have to leave." Evie said. Anthony looked at Orion and shoved him forward by the arm.
"Tell them." Anthony ordered him. Orion gave an eye roll.
"Uma plans to just give you one of the them, probably Ben. She'll keep Corianne as leverage." Orion confessed. Mal's face dropped and turned back to the VKs.
"What are we gonna do now?" Mal asked, she sat hard on the chair and put her head in her hands.
"We have a plan for that." Anthony said, motioning to he and Orion.
"And?" Mal said.
"While Uma is distracted by the wand and when you have his Kingly-ness, I'll sneak her Queenly-ness out." Orion explained the plan. Everyone was almost on board with the plan when Jay asked,
"What's the catch? What's in it for you if you help us." The VKs stared at them for the answer. Orion looked at Anthony to tell them.
"The deal was that when we get Cori and Ben back, Orion is coming along back to Auradon." Anthony said.
"What, no!" Mal protested. She shook her head with it. Anthony stepped up to defend the offer.
"It's the least we can do for him, Mal! He's taking a huge risk just to get Cori back and I'm not losing the chance." Anthony fought. Mal and Anthony had a staring contest. Mal thought it over. What if it did get Cori back? It might just work. Everything might just work.
"Fine! Fine." Mal gave in. "If it can get them both back without any harm, I'm in. But if you betray us," She said to Orion. "I'll make hell on Earth for you, you'll wish Uma was the one to do it. Clear?"
"Clear." Orion repeated.
"Good. Now, let's roll." Mal said. They all left and when their separate ways. Anthony, Evie, and Mal went to Anthony's grandmother's shop. Jay and Carlos returned to Auradon to make a copy of the wand. Orion went back to Uma's ship to watch over the prisoners.
After all these years, after wishing hard on an Evening Star, he was going to leave and have a fresh start.
*~*~*~*~*
Mal, Evie and Anthony stepped in to Lady Tremaine's hair shop. A few feet away was Dizzy Tremaine working on a new accessory. Evie shushed Mal and Anthony and tiptoes over to Dizzy to surprise her. Dizzy heard Evie footsteps and turned to see who it was.
"Evie?" Dizzy said in disbelief before jumping into Evie's arms. "Evie! You came back!"
"Hey. So great to see you, too." Mal said sarcastically, she was ignored. Anthony looked in disbelief at the seen.
"Hello? I'm your cousin. Blood thicker than water, remember?" Anthony called. Dizzy turned around and was about to faint from excitement. She ran straight into Anthony's open arms.
"Tony, I missed you so much! So did auntie Anastasia, but granny is angry at you and tried burning all of your things." Dizzy informed him. Anthony smiled and gave Dizzy one last hug before letting her go to Evie.
Anthony missed his mother, but he can't go see her. Not with everything that was happening. Maybe one day, but that wasn't the day. His main focus was to get Cori and Ben back in one piece.
"Is it all just like we imagined? Do they really have closets you can walk into? Have you been to a real swimming pool? What does ice cream taste like?" Dizzy asked Evie. Evie smiled.
"It's cold and it's sweet, and if you eat it too fast, it gives you a headache." Evie said.
"Really?" Dizzy said as if it was a dream.
"Yeah."
"I saved your sketch book for you." Dizzy said suddenly. She looked at Anthony. "And I have your gloves. Granny almost would have burned them." Dizzy ran off to a lamp and pulled out two items. She handed Anthony a pair of gloves and Evie a book.
Evie sat down and went through the book with Dizzy. Anthony turned the gloves over to see them properly. He put them on and they fit well on his hands.
"They fit like--well, a glove." Anthony joked. He turned his palms over to see the letters A and T on each palm.
"I made this dress out of an old curtain and safety pins." Evie said, feeling cut fabric of the curtain.
"It reminds me of the dress you made for Mal when she met Jasmine." Dizzy said.
"I spilled curry all over that." Mal reminded.
"You did."
"Yeah, I saw that."
"You're totally right, Dizzy. This was-- this was totally the inspiration for that." Evie said.
"I knew it! You can take the girl out of the Isle, but you can't take the Isle out of the girl." Dizzy exclaimed, hugging Evie as much as possible. Evie looked up at her, sadness in her eyes. Evie looked around before picking up a jewel in the shape of an apple and a plain bracelet. Evie put the jewel in the center.
"Is this... too much, or is this fabulous?" Evie asked Dizzy. Dizzy hand her hand out.
"Hand me the glue gun!"
