Mended Hearts

Where are you taking us? We need to get back to the academy.

Wildstar, I know you can hear me.

Defeating Primrose and her cronies was disappointingly easy.

I want to savor destroying you lot.

Yeah. She got rid of your friend. Now she's gonna squash you too.

W… what did you do to Sophia?

Looks like we're stuck between a rock and a…

A grim unicorn.

Finish them.

- -

Cinder!

-Get 'em, Leaf! - Yes!

- -

-Oh, am I glad to see you. -That's my boy.

You insolent fools!

Where'd she go?

Where'd you go?

- -Whoa!

We're running, right? I think we should run.

Furis don't retreat. My legacy is--

It doesn't matter if we're all turned to stone.

-We can't just leave them like this. -We won't.

Uh, we will for now. But we'll be back once we have a plan.

They're gettin' away!

They're not worth it. We have what we want.

This academy is mine.

Wildstar.

Why did you bring me to the Vision Pool? I only had one shot, and it's over.

It's pointless.

- -

Stop. It won't work. We need to go back to the academy.

There's nothing there. It's water. It's just water.

Please, Wildstar.

Let's go home.

Wait. I already had my one vision.

But you haven't.

That's what you were trying to tell me. Wildstar, you're amazing.

Hope this works.

Dad.

Whoa!

Sophia. My shining star.

-Well, it's all over. -No, we're not giving up.

-Oh, what do we do? What do we do? -What is Rory doing?

Uh, obviously, we need a new home. So, duh, I'm building us one.

This is our dorm, okay?

And, Storm, you build a new stable over there.

Can we please focus and try to come up with a plan to save the world?

Here's a plan. I can't be the best unicorn rider of all time

if there are no unicorn riders.

We are going back right now.

Who made you the boss?

Uh, me. And my inherent superiority.

Okay, wow.

-I cannot believe you just said that. -Why are you so offended by the truth?

-Come on, guys. -Your attitude's offensive.

-Do we need four walls? -Excuse me.

And roofs are so overrated, right?

You don't think it's true, do you? About Sophia?

Yeah. She and Wildstar have to be okay.

But where are they?

Sophia. Wildstar. I can't believe it.

I never thought I'd see the two of you together.

It's really you.

I knew it wasn't some vision in my head. It is you. And you're okay.

-Where are you? We'll come find you. -No. Sophia, you can't.

What? But, Dad, we can help.

It's too dangerous.

You have to trust me. I'm fine. You're the one I'm worried about, Sophia.

Our realms are connected by a thread of magic.

I get glimpses and whispers, and they're warning me.

-That Ravenzella's coming back. -Yes. Wait. How do you know that?

Because it's already happened.

She has a unicorn made of grim magic that almost turned me to stone.

-We weren't strong enough to fight her. -

- What do we do? -I don't know.

I'm sorry, but I don't have a magic answer.

Then come back and help us. If you just tell us where you are, we--

Sophia, I can't.

So we just have to fight Ravenzella alone?

I see so much of myself in you.

For better or worse, I tried to do everything myself too.

I didn't rely on other people, but look where that got me.

If I'd accepted help, maybe…

-You need friends by your side. -I have them.

I… I had them. But then Ava kept getting in the way,

and it's easier to just handle things myself.

Sophia, I don't have a secret weapon to fight Ravenzella.

But I do know you can't face her alone. Maybe this Ava can help you.

-She sounds like she wants to. -I doubt it. She must hate me now.

Friends fight. They hurt each other.

But that doesn't mean the friendship is over.

It just means you have to talk to each other. Really talk to each other.

I have to go. I stayed too long.

What? Dad, uh, what's happening?

Don't wo… about me. Save Uni… land's magic.

You need friends. Mend your rifts. Mend your broken heart.

Mend my broken heart?

No. Dad, please. I… I need you.

Sophia, I love you.

I love you too.

- -

You heard him. We need to find Ava.

How embarrassing to be stuck making these faces forever.

Mm, mm, mm, what should I do next?

Maybe throw you to the bottom of a lake or lock you in a crystal prison.

I know.

I'll make your entire island vanish.

Exactly like you did to me.

Well, the tables have turned.

Things are finally going according to my plan.

So letting those kids get away was part of your plan, Your Magicsty?

-Ash! -Sh!

Those children are powerless against me now that I have a unicorn.

- -Two can play at their game.

And I'm stronger, better.

Insignificant bugs.

They can't stop me.

But why not have some fun?

Hunt them down, then bring them here.

Aw, I thought we were done!

I want them to watch as I destroy their beloved Unicorn Academy.

And then we'll crush them too.

A little something to help with the crushing.

Come on. There's still time. There has to be!

Right on, Wildstar.

- -

-You didn't think we'd leave you hanging? - Ava!

-How did you know I was here? -Well, I didn't know.

But Leaf and I thought the Vision Pool might. And here you are.

No vision needed.

Um, I'm so, so sorry about everything. And I--

No! I'm sorry.

You were just looking out for me, like you always are.

Even now.

I'm just… I'm not used to having real friends who care about me.

So I pushed you away.

But I need you, Ava. Can we be friends again?

- No. -Huh?

Not just friends.

We're BFFFFFFs.

-Did you add a couple more Fs there? -Uh-huh. For "falling."

Because you seem to fall off cliffs a lot. But I'll always be there to catch you.

- -

Once the trenches are dug 3.5 meters deep,

Isabel and River will channel water through here.

Leaf, you make a vine raft to sail across under the cover of night,
