Synopsis
Princess Rapunzel and her friends must take Corona back from Cassandra, and finally confront the evil shapeshitfing sorceress Zhan Tiri once and for all.
Plot
Princess Rapunzel rallies all of Corona together to take back the kingdom. Varian learns that Lord Demanitus made a machine that trapped Zhan Tiri in another world and Rapunzel, Eugene, Pascal, Varian, Lance, Angry and Red and Maximus venture to Demanitus' tomb to get the plans. After a mishap with Lance fiddling with a mind-switcher device Demanitus had inside the tomb, they obtain the blueprints and realize that they have to build the machine close to Zhan Tiri and the Coronans proceed to storm the castle. A reluctant Princess Rapunzel faces off with Cassandra, but with the impending eclipse, Rapunzel's strength begin to wane, but she stands guard and the Corona crest on her dress transforms into the heavenly bright yellow Sunstone, which draws in even more strength from her blonde hair.
Meanwhile, the Coronans successfully build the machine, but Hamuel accidentally activates it, sucking everyone, except Eugene and King Edmund in. Prior to the fight, Cassandra briefly imprisons Zhan Tiri in a moon rock cage, who escapes after a flashback of her banishment to the Lost Realm by Lord Demanitus himself.
Meanwhile, the Brotherhood, still affected by the Mind Trap, attack the two and they race to Cassandra's tower to destroy it: however, Edmund is revealed to also be affected and Maximus rescues Eugene. Eugene gets through to Edmund who willingly destroys the Mind Trap. They return and rescue the Coronans from the Lost Realm.
The duo eventually ended up at Rapunzel's room, when the eclipse became in full effect. As Cassandra manages to grab the Sundrop from Princess Rapunzel, whose vast heavenly power suddenly transferred to a yellow opal on her chest. This act turns Rapunzel's hair from blonde to its natural dark brown but it somehow retains its seventy-feet length.
Zhan Tiri suddenly appears and snatches the Moonstone Opal from Cassandra. The ancient evil sorceress then grabs and clutches the heavenly Sunstone and Moonstone, rendering both Princess Rapunzel and Cassandra powerless and transforming herself into a giant demon (the debris destroying the machine in the process). She then traps Princess Rapunzel and Cassandra in a golden rock prison and leaves to destroy Corona.
Imprisoned, with Rapunzel, Cass breaks down sobbing, overcome with genuine guilt over her actions, begging Rapunzel to hate her. Instead, Rapunzel embraces Cass. Back outside while the Coronans battle Zhan Tiri(who overpowered them with the Decay Incantation), Rapunzel and Cassandra make up. Inspired by the phrase in Princess Rapunzel's book "Plus Est En Vous", Cassandra takes the broken piece of the moon stone from their earlier fight and gives it to Rapunzel, giving her just enough energy. They battle Zhan Tiri and force her to mesh the stones together at the cost of Rapunzel cutting her hair short again which slams Zhan Tiri's wrists together, sending the wicked demon obliterating into nothingness and black rocks disappear. The stones had became one.
Just as Rapunzel is ready to celebrate, she finds Cass lying limp on the ground, seemingly having perished in the explosion. Not willing to let her fully redeemed friend die, Rapunzel uses the healing incantation to revive Cassandra and heal everyone else before sending it out into space.
Cassandra decides to leave Corona to look for her own destiny and bids farewell to Rapunzel, who finally accepts her title of queen. Eugene becomes the head of the royal guards with Maximus at his side. Varian becomes the royal engineer and creates a heated water system, making Corona the first in the seven kingdoms to have hot running water. Edmund and the Brotherhood return to The Dark Kingdom to rebuild it and Lance decides to adopt Angry and Red as everyone enjoys their happily ever after. Later that evening, in their favorite gondola, Eugene finally proposes to Queen Rapunzel, who happily accepts.

- Zhan Tiri: "This quest for the Sundrop and Moonstone was both of ours!!"
- Lord Demanitus: "It was until you made it about something darker!! You did it for gaining power for yourself!! You turned your back on what was right."
- Zhan Tiri: "And you turned your back on me!! As long as I live, I will not stop until I have that power!!

Flower gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the Fates' design
Save what has been lost
* Cassandra (just having returned to life): "Raps?"
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
What once was mine
Trivia
- Kiera's previous outfit and hairstyle and Catalina's previous outfit and hairstyle are briefly shown during the reprise of the song Life After Happily Ever After from Tangled: Before Ever After.
- It is unknown if Cassandra's burned arm is healed at the end of the special.
Goofs
- In a recurring error that began in Tangled: Before Ever After, this episode's title "Plus Est En Vous" is meant to mean "there is more in you" in French. However, the actual way to say this sentence in French is "il y a plus en vous".
- When Rapunzel and her mom are on the hills, Rapunzel is shown to be wearing her original outfit while she and her mom are racing back to The Snuggly Duckling.
- Cassandra said Rapunzel had Varian imprison her in amber but it was actually Zhan Tiri herself that pushed the button.
- Varian's backpack only appears on his back when he is walking to the Demanitus' Tomb alongside Rapunzel, Eugene, Kiera, Catalina, Lance and Maximus.
- When the song Through It All ends, Quirin is not showing to be wearing his gloves.
- Varian's backpack disappears when he is at the Snuggly Duckling, when he, Quirin and Ruddiger at their home working on the heated water system.
