The Amulet and the Anthem

"The Amulet and the Anthem" is the seventeenth episode of Sofia the First.

Plot
Sofia is chosen to sing the Enchancian Anthem at the annual Harvest Festival. Before she knows it, she gets interviewed, her portrait painted, and showered with gifts, and she ends up boasting about it to Ruby and Jade. Suddenly, during rehearsal, Sofia starts croaking like a frog! Sofia and Clover try to find out what she'd done wrong that got the amulet to bestow the curse.

First they go to Cedric and ask him for help. After Cedric corrects Sofia on the proper way to say his name (AGAIN) he jumps for joy at Sofia being cursed. As he's predicted for quite some time now. It all turns out that her  magical amulet  has bestowed the curse on her. When he tells her that her amulet cursed her for doing a bad deed, Sofia is surprised and doesn't recall doing anything bad. Cedric couldn't care less for what she did, so he attempts to persuade her into giving him her amulet so he can take a look at it. Sofia declines due to the promise she made to Roland and hopes Cedric has a spell in one of his books. As expected he tells her he doesn't and makes another request. Sofia declines again. Cedric decides to leave it at that, but shows Sofia an image of her as a frog at the Harvest Festival and getting all croaked up when trying to sing. Sofia becomes dismayed, yet still fights removing the amulet. She takes her leave and returns to Clover. Meanwhile Cedric waits for Sofia to grow desperate enough to give him the amulet.

After getting a good night's sleep, Clover proposes that he and Sofia go over what she did in hopes of figuring out why she suddenly had a frog in her throat. Sofia went over everything. From being chosen to when the painter-azzi. She couldn't figure out what she did wrong. Then t hey find Amber boasting about the time she herself sang the anthem. This makes Sofia realize that she'd been boasting about this opportunity to Ruby and Jade.

Before the festival, Sofia apologizes to Ruby and Jade for her mistake. The three made up and became friends again. Feeling better, Sofia rushes off for the stage only to run into Cedric who wished to make another play for the Amulet. Sofai happily tells him that she figured out what happened and fixed the curse only to croak again. This pleases Cedric. Seeing as the festival was going to start soon. He agrees to fix the curse if she hands over the amulet. Sofai turns him down once more. Cedric backs off and says he'll wait by the stage. He warns her to hurry. Time was running out. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick...tock.

Before Sofia knows it, her amulet summons  Belle, who tells Sofia that she should make things right. So Sofia offers to let her friends sing the anthem. When the curse is taken away, Jade and Ruby invite Sofia to sing with them, which she declines, yet Jade and Ruby refuse to take no for an answer and drag Sofia onstage to sing with them.
