When news of this reaches Rapunzel and Frederic, he insisted that they should launch a desperate assault on Old Corona in retaliation. Unfortunately, while they were doing this, Varian had snuck into the castle and kidnapped Arianna. In the midst of the chaos, the Captain is injured, but Cassandra managed to lead the remaining guards to help Rapunzel trap the creature, which later transformed back into its true form: Varian's pet raccoon, Ruddiger. With his intention of making Corona pay for ignoring his plea for help, Varian unleashes a giant monster raccoon into the fog to terrorize the citizens, injuring many royal guards in the process. By this point, Varian announces his presence in Corona, informing them of Frederic's lies and the kingdom's impending destruction from the growing black rocks. Before they could get into any details, a strange fog started to roll into the kingdom. After they help her escape, Rapunzel enlists the gang to help in finding out what Varian wants. While Lance distracts Pete and Stan with a faux present delivery, Eugene, Maximus, Pascal, the pub thugs, and Cassandra, who was about to leave to a convent, will break her out. Even when Arianna visits her, she is unable to change his mind, but understands that it's not the right choice for her daughter.ĭetermined to find the answers, Rapunzel orchestrates a plan to escape the castle. As a result, Fredric goes on taking a drastic measure by having her locked in her own room and being kept under heavy surveillance for her own safety, something that Eugene would accuse him for due to what she had similarly went through. Though Fredric tries to downplay the situation, Rapunzel has had enough of his lies. As the Captain was discussing this with Fredric, Rapunzel barged in and confronts her father on what Varian want. Deducing that Varian must've rebuild it to attack them, the three retaliated and eventually defeated it by jamming its timing cylinder. As the trio prepare to confront the King on the matter, an automaton suddenly appears and attacks the three. To make matters worse, this will be Cassandra's final job in the kingdom as she will be sent away to a convent tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Rapunzel and Eugene find Cassandra working in a stable after she told them that Frederic found out about the night she helped her sneak out of the kingdom prior to her coronation by reading her journal. Outside of Corona, the mysterious rocks continues to sprout and began making their way to the kingdom. As Eugene shows her the many presents her subjects got for her to cheer her up, Rapunzel finds a timing cylinder with a note that tells her to wind it, where it plays an eerie tune. In the wake of Varian's betrayal, Corona is preparing to celebrate Rapunzel's nineteenth birthday, but Rapunzel is still trying to cope with the recent traumas she had just went through.
