Madalena asks if he missed her. She crossed him mind a few times, he's been through quite a lot to get to her. Galavant asks if she really wanted him to rescue her. She only found out about him coming to the castle a short time before, and she's not really interested in leaving the plush life she has. Madalena proves that she's been quite materialistic. She has a plan to remain queen and keep Galavant as her boy toy. Galavant breaks out in song, how he loves her. Madalena loves him as much some like her can. She doesn't really love him, but what he can do for her.

Richard cannot believe that Madalena almost tricked him into killing his favorite chef, and save her old boyfriend. Gareth thinks that he needs to man up. He heads out to check on his Queen, as Richard contemplates his betrayal. Chef suggests they see Xanax, the new magician.

Madalena takes Galavant back to the dungeon. Isabella is so glad to see that Galavant alive, even though she betrayed him, he points out. Isabella wants her parents. released now, but Madalena isn't Richard and she made no such deals. In fact, she plans to torture Isabella for trying to steal her left overs. Madalena orders Gareth to rearrange Isabella's face, and torture everyone else. Gareth isn't sure about taking orders from her, but Madalena points out that the king is weak, and Gareth needs a strong master.

Chef take Richard over to see Xanax (Ricky Gervais). He can't call himself a magician anymore, but he's still full of plenty of spells, and probably more than a few drugs. Xanax puts together a special brew to make Richard a whole new man.

Sid thinks that they need an escape plan. Galavant is still pondering what Madalena's song is really about. Isabella tells him that he deserves someone better, someone that lifts him up not tears him down. Galavant doesn't get what she's saying at all. Gareth wants everyone to just shut up. He's been through a lot too. He's loyal to the King his whole life, but he admires the strength of the Queen.

Xanax has his guests get comfy as they get ready to go on their wild trip.  The king sees a door, and Xanax sends them through it. It's the day his father died. It's not Richard near the throne, but his older brother Kingsley. He doesn't want to be king. He believes his destiny lies beyond  the castle walls, full of death, destruction, and bastard children. Dicky gets the kingdom,  under mockery, and Gareth gets appointed to the king's side. Even more embarrassing Kingsley decides to take the sword with him. Richard figures out that because of that moment, he's always acted like he's the second choice in everything. He plans to take back his kingdom, and his wife. Richard and Chef come out of their trip, but its not safe to ride yet, so the trio head back to check out Richard's sweet childhood room.

Isabella apologizes to Galavant again, knowing that her betrayal was worse than Madalena since at least Madalena had the guts to do it to his face. She begins to babble, and Galavant knows that she must feel really bad, because she does that when she feels bad. Galavant tells her not to feel bad, she did what she had to because of her parents. Love is strange, smug, bossy, gassy and smelly. Basically they really love each other, and they're starting to realize it. Love is nothing like the fairytales of childhood. Galavant sees that he's been blind. Madalena never loved him. Their stars are finally aligning when she's gonna die, but Galavant plans to save her and the day. More so he can't believe that the cells have been unlocked the whole time, and no one bothered to check.

Madalena asks about the status of the torture of her guests. Gareth tells her that he won't do her bidding, he may be a dog, but he's a loyal one. Richard is glad to hear that. He's got a serious case of the munchies, and puts chef to work. He tells Gareth to lock up Madalena. Things are over between the pair, but Madalena isn't ready to go yet, they have company. Kingsley (Rugter Hauer) has returned and he wants everything Richard has. He's probably totally jealous of the amazing beard that Richard has.

The ship has sailed, and land is in sight. Valencia is on the horizon. Galavant contemplates if he should save the kingdom or Madalena first, poor Galavant still has no clue that he's walking into a trap.

Richard cannot wait for Galavant to arrive so he can slay him and then bed his wife. Madalena screeches for her maid to fix her hair. Her maid has been getting sweet talked by the chef. Richard can't help but be excited about tonight, thinking that once Galavant is gone, and he delivers the gem to his wife she'll be happy. Madalena is just wretched though.

Madalena lets her marvelousness go to her head. She thinks that the answer to her problem is for her to take the kingdom for herself, and her ego has a few different parts, enough to fill up an entire hall of mirrors, all spurring her on.

Valencia's population has been drastically reduced the sign notes as Sid takes a potty break and contemplates zippers. The light in the sky is perfect for hero lighting, and so Galavant stops to do some push ups. Isabella looks for ways to stall, and Galavant finally accepts that he stinks, and needs a bath.

The trio head over to visit the monks, who've taken a vow of song. Galavant doesn't appreciate the song, but come on, it's Weird Al. Isabella asks for shelter, a bath, and maybe a little consell for leading someone she likes astray.

Madalena comes looking for a cup of tea. The cook lets it spill that he's planning something special for the evening. Madalena knows that he has a thing for her maid, so she'll help him win her maid if he lets her in on Richard's plan. The chef doesn't know much, just that things will go down around 9 pm.

Isabella talks with a monk, forcing him to break his vow of singing. He notes that she's fallen for Galavant, which she hasn't realized, and betrayed him as well.

Richard awaits Galavant while Madalena and the Chef wait. He's late of course. Isabella arrives alone, demanding that Richard take the jewel and leave Galavant alone. richard notes that the princess has fallen for the knight, and he's not surprised, but he tells her that she will bring Galavant to hi and shows her her parents under silver platters. Isabella screams thinking that they're dead, but they aren't yet. But they will be if she doesn't deliver Galavant.

The monks sing with Sid, and Galavant admits that Isabella was right. He needed a better plan, and she helped to bring him back to himself. Isabella notes that she didn't do all that much to bring Galavant back, and comes pretty close to paying him a compliment. She does see how he sees the good in people even after they betray him. Before the pair can make any confessions, Sid interrupts with his complaining about his crotch itching due to the monk's robes.

Madalena sets her plan in motion by writing a missive on the chef's back. She sends it off with the fastest pigeon. Madalena tells him that he has her permission to cook the finest of meals on her, and even have a bottle of wine from her cellar. Chef isn't sure that she'll even accept, but Madalena orders Gwen on the date. Gwen doesn't think that love is made for people like them, but Chef is sure that it is. Gwen tries to reason with him, but the chef is convinces her that they could be happy.

Galavant prepares to storm the castle. Isabella tries to talk Galavant out of the plan, but its too late. Richard has spotted them and he calls the guards in to capture them. They grab Isabella, and she tells him not to give, but he does. The women in poor Galavant's life are never as noble as he is. The guards take Galavant, Isabella and Sid into the dungeon. Galavant is at a loss for words, but Sid isn't. He cannot believe how underhanded she's been. Isabella apologizes, but she was worried about her family. Galavant tells that had she told him they could have come up with a plan. Isabella isn't sure that he would have helped if he had nothing to gain. It's too late now to know if he would have though. He asks her if Madalena really wanted him to come, Isabella confesses that she doesn't know. Galavant is taken away.

Gwen heads off to meet the Chef.

Richard prepares to hang Galavant. He unmasks him, but it isn't Galavant, but his chef. Galavant is unhooded and he's seated at the opulent table in the Queen's quarters. That lavish meal she told the Chef to prepare wasn't for him and Gwen, but herself and Galavant. She unties Galavant and tells him that everything is going to change. she's written someone who will execute her husband.
