Synopsis
Star searches for a way to defeat Mina and her Solarian Warriors.
Plot
Hekapoo takes the group to The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse, a small speakeasy style joint where people come to get away from magic and power hungry leaders (things which both Moon and Eclipsa fulfill). With nothing else to do, Hekapoo and Eclipsa resign themselves while Moon, Star and Marco voice their displeasure of the things that are still happening outside. Star herself refuses to forgive Moon and goes off with Marco attempting to comfort her. Eclipsa reveals to Moon that she knows she was the one who hired Rhombulus to free Globgor and also learns that the Solarian Soldiers, which were powered by Moon, do not have any weaknesses. Moon having accepted that she caused much of the conflicts happening accepts Eclipsa's suggestion of fighting back.
Mina has all the Monsters in Mewni gathered with the intent to knock them off a cliff into the ocean. However, she is dissatisfied as Globgor is not there and decides to hold off until they find him. River and Eddie carry his body through the forest in a desperate attempt to get to the Sanctuary. Inside the monster temple, Janna checks on the wounded and witnesses Quirky Guy succumb to his wounds by exploding, scaring the others. Back at the Tavern, Star voices her displeasure of magic and tells Marco that life would be better off without it. Glossaryck reveals his presence with pudding and Star frustratingly climbs into his eyeball just as Moon was about to talk to her.
Star ends up in Glossaryck's realm and reveals that she will go into the magic realm and utter the whispering spell so that all magic will be gone. Glossaryck takes her to the "Grandma Room" and is visited by the past queens and sees that her tapestry is finished: showing that she gets rid of magic and saves Mewni. However, Marco is absent from the picture, upsetting her. Glossaryck tells her that Marco will return home, but that he will die as he is made of magic. Accepting that Toffee was right, Star returns to the tavern and tells Marco that they will destroy the magic.
