Elena of Avalor

*ELENA OF AVALOR* Season 03 Episode 01 Episode Title: "Sister of Invention"

Previously, on Elena of Avalor...

We found Victor and Carla's cabin, but they weren't there.

I am Ash.

- My mamá. - And my wife.

What do you want?

Not much. Only your magic.

Despoloz!

We have to go back for Papá.

We'll come back for him. I promise.

"Sister of Invention."

Ready, set, launch!

- Mmm! - Goal!

This is what you learned in college?

I want to go to college!

Raise your punch, everyone.

To Isabel, for completing her

- engineering class with honors. - To Isabel!

He says he'll talk, but only to you.

Bravo! Well done,

- Isabel! - Elena! What's going on?

Uh, nothing you need to worry about. We'll be right back.

- Save me a cookie. - And she did it with honors!

He's in there.

What do you have to say to me?

The princess asked you a question.

I want you to know...

that I will never tell you anything.

Stop playing games.

And what will you do if I don't answer?

Throw me in another dungeon?

Tell us where to find Ash and Carla, and I'll cut your jail time.

Ah. You want me to betray

my wife and daughter to save my own neck.

Why are you protecting them?

They abandoned you.

Doesn't it bother you to be stuck in here

while they're out there enjoying the comforts of home?

Ah, "home"?

We have no home.

What about your cabin in Cordoba?

Did you see his face when I mentioned the cabin?

He didn't know we found it.

Which means Ash and Carla don't know either.

If they think it's safe, they might have gone back there.

We can take them by surprise.

I'll find Mateo. You go get Naomi.

Oh, Abuelo.

Science rules!

That's four in a row!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa! - Who's next?

Let's try it with churros.

You read my mind.

- To the catapult! - This is gonna be so much fun!

Me first!

What took you guys so long?

We've been waiting forever.

Hey, you try sneaking away from the party planner.

So, what's the big news?

We've got a lead on Ash and Carla.

We think they went back to the cabin in Cordoba,

So the four of us are heading there tonight.

Tonight? But you still don't have

your scepter back from the sunbirds.

I don't need it. We're a great team.

You have your tamborita, Gabe and I have swords,

and Naomi's an expert with her lasso.

Hold on.

- Aah! - Isabel?

What are you doing here?

Uh, eavesdropping?

You guys are always going off on adventures without me.

I want to be on the team.

No way. It's too dangerous.

I can handle myself. I've been to college.

That's not gonna help you beat a powerful malvago like Ash.

I know, but my inventions might.

Isa, if you come with us,

you'd just get in the way.

Now, please, go back to your party.

So unfair. I can do anything you guys can do.

Uh, Gabe?

Hmph!

- Thanks, Naomi. - Well, you think we got everything?

I don't know. We'd better double-check.

Man, that's heavy.

Maybe for you.

That's it. Need a boost into the carriage, Mateo?

- Ha, ha. - Off we go.

Naomi and I will circle right and cover the side door.

Mateo and Gabe, you go in through the front.

As soon as I kick the door, you blast them with your,

uh, "stand-still-anator" spell.

- Ugh! It's called... - Focus, team!

Ugh, forget it.

It's "go" time.

We stopped!

They're going without me!

Whoa!

Isa? Go, go, go!

- Over there! - Talact!

Well, you captured Naomi.

They're not here.

I hope you know how to undo that.

Zanámo!

- Hey! - Isabel Castillo Flores!

Uh-oh. Three names.

- That's never good. - I thought I told you to stay home.

You could have gotten all of us hurt,

- or worse! - Hmm.

Are you even listening to me?

Isa, I'm not done talking to you.

- Isa! - See this?

It's blue pumice. Lava rock.

- Somebody tracked it here. - So?

So if we knew where the blue rocks came from,

we'd know at least one place Ash and Carla might have gone.

This kind of blue pumice only exists

in one place: Xotep.

- Show-who? - Xotep.

It's a volcano in central Avalor.

It's known for its eerie blue lava.

Sounds creepy.

Sounds... like Ash.

Ugh. Is this really

the only place to get tamboritas?

No.

This is the best place to get them.

You are about to meet

the most powerful malvago in the world.

The one who taught me everything.

And then we'll go rescue Papá?

Yes. And then we'll go fetch him.

- Here it is. - Whoa!

It took my breath away

the first time I saw it too.

Ugh! I can see why.

It stinks! Ugh!

Yaah!

Ash! My pride and joy.

Master Zopilote.

I knew someday you would return.

I just didn't think it would be so soon.

- And you must be Carla. - How do you know my name?

Your mother talked about you every day

for 10 years.

Master, we cannot stay long.

We need tamboritas.

What happened to the one I gave you?

We...

were overpowered, taken by surprise.

So, you failed.

It won't happen again.

I promise you that.

I do have one spare tamborita.

Thank you, master.

Or would it just end up like the last one?

Listen, you old buzzard.

We need this to save my papá!

- Carla! - Aren't you a rude, impetuous little girl?

She reminds me of you!

Does she have any idea how to use this?

I've barely started training her.

Well, let's see what she can do.

Boqato!

Ooh. Now she really reminds me of you.

Carla has her tamborita, but where's mine?

I told you I only have one spare.

But... I'm going to give you

something much, much better.

Pack your stuff on the cart, Isa.

You are still in big trouble.

- I know, but... - No buts!

- We're taking you home. - But...

if we take her home,

we'll be going the wrong way.

He's right. The palace is 22.5 miles farther away.

Nice touch with the point-five.

- I think we should let her stay. - But she shouldn't even be here.

But she is. And the question is, what do we do now?

Elena, please let me stay.

I brought a bunch more inventions and gadgets.

I've even got a map to Xotep.

Fine. On one condition:

when we get there, you stay in the cart.

- But... - Nuh! This is not negotiable.
