"The Enchanted Feast" is the twenty-seventh episode of the Disney Jr. animated series Sofia the First. It premiered on April 4, 2014, and is the second episode of the second season.
Plot[]
Cedric is preparing for the Enchanted Feast, a grand dinner for all of the rulers in the Tri-Kingdom Area, when Sofia comes in. Cedric shows Sofia the spell he's going to do for the Feast, Morpho Mirrors, to Sofia's delight. Unbeknownst to Sofia, she is being watched by Miss Nettle and her pet enchanted rose, Rosey. Miss Nettle had recognized Sofia's amulet the last time she saw the young princess and has long since identified it as the Amulet of Avalor and now she wants it. Rosey reminds her that Princess Sofia knows what she looks like and that she's up to no good and therefore she won't just hand over her amulet. So Miss Nettle disguises herself as Sascha the Sorceress for Plan A: gain Sofia's trust and then trick her into handing over the amulet. Sascha manages to charm everyone except Sofia, who senses something familiar about her that gives her concerns. Sascha offers the children gifts: for Amber new bracelets and bangles, James gets a suit of armor and Sofia an Egyptian style ruby necklace. Cedric is especially awestruck by the Sorceress and comes to meet her. King Roland invites Sasha to the Enchanted Feast that evening, and even Cedric seconds the motion. Sasha accepts, and everyone goes inside to get ready. When Sasha notices Sofia forgot her necklace, she returns it and offers to help Sofia take off her old one so she can put on her new one. However, Sofia tells her she promised her father she would never take off her amulet. Amber asks for the ruby necklace, and Sofia gives it to her, telling Sasha she'll see her at the feast.
Rosey blames Plan A's failure on Amber, but Sasha states the real reason Plan A failed is that Sofia can't be tricked because she's too clever. So they come up with Plan B: during the feast, Rosey will sprout vines that will tangle up Sofia and trap everyone in the ballroom. They then plan to threaten to hex everyone unless Sofia hands over the amulet. To make sure Cedric doesn't get in the way, Sasha hexes his wand with Crazy Crystals so he cannot use his spells. Sofia still senses something is not right about Sasha, even after telling Cedric, who is still very much in love with Sasha, he assures Sofia he would know if something was going on.
During the feast, all of Cedric's spells go wrong and he is rudely dismissed by both Roland and Amber. After Cedric leaves in a huff Sofia goes after him to comfort him, foiling Plan B. This makes Sascha and Rosey implement Plan C: Trap everyone inside and then take care of Sofia. Rosey sprouts vines and traps everyone inside.
Once outside, Sofia, still looking for Cedric, tells Clover what happened and shares her bad feeling about Sasha. Suddenly, Sofia's amulet begins to glow, summoning Snow White. Sofia asks Snow White why the amulet summoned her since there's "nothing wrong," but Snow White can tell that Sofia doesn't truly believe that. She proceeds to tell Sofia about a time an old lady offered her an apple, only for the woman to turn out to be Snow White's wicked stepmother, the Evil Queen, in disguise, and the apple to be poisoned. Snow White then tells Sofia that people are not always what they seem, which is why she has to be careful around strangers, especially ones she just met. She advises Sofia to trust her gut feeling no matter what anyone else says. She also tells Sofia that if she knows something is wrong and nobody will listen, it's up to her to do something about it before it's too late. After she disappears, Sofia hurries back inside to warn her parents about Sasha.
Back in the ballroom, Roland sees that Sasha is missing and Miranda wonders if this is part of their trick. He and Baileywick check the doors and find that they're all stuck. Sofia confronts Sasha and asks what's going on. The stranger, uncovering herself to be the notorious Miss Nettle, affirms her purpose to steal Sofia's amulet. As Nettle raises her wand to hex Sofia, Clover jerks the carpet, sending her tumbling. Seizing the opportunity, Sofia and Clover run away as fast as they can. Miss Nettle tells Rosey to use her vines to seal up the whole castle.
Sofia, unaware of her predicament, makes it to Cedric (who is still saddened) to reveal the full story. A shocked Cedric attempts to interfere with Miss Nettle (even refusing Sofia's help despite her insistance) but fails due to his hexed wand. Miss Nettle, using her bouncing bluebells, overpowers Cedric, ties up his hands with vines, and gets away. Sofia, Clover, and Wormwood hurry to Cedric's assistance, and Clover uses her teeth to free him from the vine. They head back to Cedric's workshop to get a spare wand but due to the vines from Rosy both the stairs and the backdoor to the tower are blocked. Meanwhile, the guards try to get the vines off the door but to no avail. Miranda is worried about Sofia's safety, and Roland has his guards try to remove the vines with their swords. Sofia, with help from Clover and Wormwood, gets Cedric a spare wand. Together, they finally stop Miss Nettle again with Cedric's Morpho Mirrors, but she still manages to escape. After Cedric frees everyone, Roland and Miranda are glad Sofia isn't hurt, and she reveals the truth about Sasha. Amber, to her disappointment, loses all the jewelry she was offered. The feast continues on with Cedric's display of Morpho Mirrors.

Trivia[]
The book based on the episode.
- Snow White is the sixth Disney Princess to assist Sofia.
- The first was Cinderella in Sofia the First: Once Upon a Princess.
- The second was Jasmine in "Two to Tangu".
- The third was Belle in "The Amulet and the Anthem".
- The fourth was Ariel in "The Floating Palace".
- The fifth was Aurora in "Holiday in Enchancia".
- Snow White's appearance is also one of two instances in the series that the princess summons appear twice in the same episode, especially at the very end (Snow White appears behind Sofia's reflection in one of Cedric's enchanted mirrors). The first was Ariel in "The Floating Palace", when she porpoises at some distance from Sofia's family ship.
- This episode's plot is very similar to the plot of "The Floating Palace".
- During her song Sascha/Miss Nettle leans against the wall like Megara during I Won't Say I'm in Love.
- Snow White is also the second Disney Princess to not sing on Sofia the First, with the first being Aurora.
- This is Miss Nettle's second appearance in the series, the first episode was "Make Way for Miss Nettle". She also makes a small reference to her first appearance.
- This is the second time that Princess Sofia and Prince James meet Miss Nettle, although James did not really met her as he only saw her flying away through a window.
- This is the first time in which Miss Nettle tries to take the amulet. It is also the first time in which Cedric tries to protect the amulet rather than steal it for himself.
- This is the first time since Once Upon a Princess that Wormwood actually speaks rather than just squawking, mumbling, groaning, and laughing.
- Clover and Wormwood cross paths for the second time in the series.
- In this episode, Wormwood is shown to be a bit more tolerant of Sofia, lending her a hand and getting along with Clover at her request.
- Clover displays a certain affection towards Snow White that he had not shown to previous princesses.
- Rosey, Miss Nettle's pet rose, makes her debut appearance in this episode.
- Sofia didn't ask Snow White why she had appeared, indicating that Sofia is becoming more in tune with her amulet's powers. In "Holiday in Enchancia", this begins with Sofia correctly predicting a summoning when her amulet glows. Snow White is also the first princess not to elucidate her appearance by stating that the amulet summoned her, since Sofia showed that she knew.
- This is the second time that Sofia pronounced Cedric's name correctly. This is also the first time she realizes that she used to say it wrong. At the same time, this is also the first time that Cedric had noticed Sofia saying his name right. However, she had also said it right in the previous episode ("Two Princesses and a Baby"), although Cedric didn't seem to pay any attention.
- This is the first and only time Cedric falls in love with someone.
- Princess Jun and Princess Leena make their first appearance in the second season.
- Sofia was the only character who didn't open up to Miss Nettle's Sasha the Sorceress persona.
- Morals:
- People are not always what they seem.
- If you have a bad feeling about something or someone, it's important to trust your feelings.
