Synopsis
To lift everyone’s spirits, Rapunzel takes her companions to Hook Hand’s concert, but the reunion of the Hook brothers awakens elusive memories in Hook Foot.
Plot
Rapunzel takes everyone to see Hook Hand in concert. However, this brings back bad memories in Hook Foot, as he was always overshadowed and looked down on by his elder brother. Hook Hand is revealed to be employed by the self-centered King Trevor who wants Hook Hand to perform at the wedding ceremony between the royal Seal of Equis: Trevor Jr. and his female mate: Luseal. Hook Foot finally fulfills his childhood dream of dancing by humiliating King Trevor in a dance-off, which he wins with the female seal as the judge. This finally brings Hook Hand to accept his younger brother's dreams and allows him to accompany him on the road.

- Varian will also say "This is perfect" when Ruddiger hands a hot cocoa to him during the second half of the episode Cassandra's Revenge which is similar to the way Rapunzel said "Oh, this is perfect" when Pascal handed her a flyer about Hook Hand's concert during the episode. Also, Clay said "This is perfect" during the Xiaolin Showdown episode Big as Texas.
- The way Rapunzel says "Wrong answer, bub!" during the episode is the same way Jessie and James said "Meowth, wrong answer!" during the Pokémon: Advanced Battle episode Beg, Burrow and Steal.
