"The Lightning Warrior" is the seventy-second episode of the Disney Channel animated series Elena of Avalor. It premiered on July 19, 2020, and is the twenty-third episode of the third season.

Plot[]

At Avalor Palace, Elena is practicing using her Scepter left-handed. Suddenly, Quita Moz shows up and tells Elena she can prepare for what Esteban and Ash are planning by releasing Ixlan the Lightning Warrior. However, she needs a Malvago to set her free. Naomi suggests Victor and Carla. Elena doesn't want their help because of everything they did. Mateo and Naomi tell her there's no choice and that people can change. Quita Moz tells Elena you never know you can trust someone until you do so. With the help of Mateo's potion, Victor is revived from being a stone statue. Elena offers the Delgados a deal: if they help her free the warrior, they will be allowed to live out their days on Soledad Island instead of being in jail. They immediately accept the deal. Elena frees the Delgados, but remains distrustful of them.

On the way, Victor and Carla cook a meal for Elena and talk about the mistakes they made, which Elena enjoys but mentions that Victor added too much pepper, just as he always used to during their childhood. Carla comes to know that Elena and Victor were friends in the past.

They arrive on La Isla de Yalcatura. Victor and Carla free Ixlan who is unimpressed with Elena. Ixlan asks them how they got past the Moyacu which guards the island. Victor spots something in the water and asks Elena for his tamborita. However, Elena doesn't to believe him. What Victor saw turns out to be the Moyacu who swallows them whole. 

Victor asks Elena to give him and Carla their tamboritas but Elena refuses due to the fact she still doesn't trust them. Victor tries to get them out by making the Moyacu sneeze. However, this only gets Victor blown out through its spout. Carla blames Elena for this disaster. Elena voices her distrust. Naomi reminds Elena what Quita Moz said. Elena decides to trust them and they get them out.  

Back in Avalor, Elena declares that the Delgados will be allowed to live in Soledad Island for their help. However, Victor says that he and Carla want to stay in Avalor and learn good magic to help Elena defend Avalor. Quita Moz arrives and gives Ixlan her gloves. Elena also finally takes off her cast. Mateo reverses the spell that made Victor and Carla Malvagos, and they join Elena in their mission to defend Avalor against Ash and her allies.

  • Quita Moz visits Avalor for the first time.
  • Ixlan is the only living Maruvian left.
  • Elena gets her cast removed at the end of the episode, meaning that her arm has fully recovered.
