Mystic Meadows

"Mystic Meadows" is the thirty-fifth episode of the Disney Junior series Sofia the First which premiered on August 8, 2014.

Plot
Sofia and the Buttercups are preparing to visit Mystic Meadows, a home for retired sorcerers and sorceresses and also where Cedric's mother and father reside, to earn their good deed badges with Bailiwick as their troop leader since Ruby's Mother is sick. Sofia invites Cedric to visit his parents but he is not keen on coming since he'll have to see the Family Wand, a powerful wand that been passed down for many generations in his family that his father won't hand down to him because he doesn't think he's a good enough sorcerer, only because he always interrupts him whenever he is casting a spell. Sofia offers to help him get the Family Wand by helping him show his father how great he really is and Cedric accepts.

When Cedric and the Buttercups arrive at Mystic Meadows, they are greeted by Cedric's parents: Goodwin the Great and Winifred the Wise. Winifred greets her son with affection but Goodwin greets him with critcism. Through a song, Sofia tells the Buttercups about Mystic Meadows. Winifred tells the Buttercups about the Mystic Meadows Conjuring Contest she's hosting in the afternoon. While the rest of the troop spend time with the other retired Enchanters, Sofia tries to help Cedric show Goodwin how great he is. But, as Cedric predicted, everytime Cedric tries to cast a spell, Goodwin interupts him causing him to mess up the spell. In the end, Goodwin refuses to give him the Family Wand stating he isn't ready and unsure if he ever will be. Cedric protests that these mishap happened because he interrupted him but Goodwin doesn't listen.

Sofia decides to have Cedric take part in the Conjuring Contest. At first, Cedric is against it because he knows his father is just going to interupt him again but Sofia tells him she has a plan. During the Contest, Sofia prevents Goodwin from interupting by complimenting his wand and with Sofia's help Cedric is doing much better. But then, disaster stirkes: When Sofia tells them the answer to a riddle is snowman, Cedric and Goodwin start to quarral over who should conjure the answer and turns everyone into snowmen. Cedric tries to fix it but, once again, Goodwin interupts him and he accidently conjures a sun. Sofia finally puts her foot down and tells Goodwin stright up that the only reason Cedric was messing up is because he had been interupting him all day and that he can help his son out best by backing off, giving him some space, and letting him do the spell himself. Goodwin does as Sofia asks and Cedric fixes everything and they win the Conjuring Contest. Before everyone goes home, Goodwin gives the Family Wand to his son and proclaims him Cedric the Sensational.
