Plot[]

Some days earlier, after Marcy is stabbed and Anne and the Plantars are sent home, King Andrias orders a nervously willing Lady Olivia and General Yunan to take Marcy's body away to a rejuvenation tank in order to save her life. Having gotten the Calamity Box, he plans to move forward. Meanwhile, Sasha and Grime are hiding from Andrias and are nearly caught by his Frog-Bots, but jump out the window to flee from them. They are rescued by Joe Sparrow and fly away where they witness the rest of the toad army getting captured. With no other option, they cannot return to Toad Tower and decide to go the place he is least likely to look: Wartwood. However, little do Sasha and Grime know, Andrias sees them escaping and orders a Frog-Bot to follow them.

Sasha and Grime arrive to the confusion of the townspeople who want to know what is happening and why the castle is floating. They tell them that King Andrias is a "ruthless tyrant of unspeakable power", much to the townsfolk's shock , but that Anne and the Plantars are on a new mission and sent the two to protect them. The people of Wartwood are relieved to hear this, but Sasha feels guilty. Grime and Sasha go to the Plantar home to stay for the time being. However, Sasha hesitates to set foot in the Plantar home out of guilt for betraying and hurting Anne. Sasha sleeps in the barn with Bessie and Microangelo for company. The next day, Sasha is further perturbed when the Wartwood citizens offer her things and compliment her closeness to Anne. Meanwhile, Grime gets word from his sister Beatrice that the Toads are regrouping and planning an attack as he tells Sasha that they have to join her. Although, Sasha asks Grime why should they becasue the next plan they might come up with will fail and ends up hurting the people they care about. Then, Sasha and Grime encounter the Frog-Bot and it take out, but it was sending a signal for backup before it was destroyed. Grime says they need to leave, believing Wartwood won't stand a chance against the upcoming war. However, Sasha tells Grime that she does not want to leave as she doesn't want any more plans or schemes and wants to stop.

Hearing this, Grime reminds Sasha that she enjoys schemes, lying, manipulation and backstabbing as he points out that its her thing. Also, Grime asks Sasha since when she cared and she replies since she saw the consequences of her behavior. Feeling worried, Grime encourges Sasha to enter the Plantar home in order to face what burdens her so they can leave Wartwood. Convinced, Sasha enters the Plantars' home and finds Anne's journal where she learns that Anne genuinely valued her friendship with her. Realizing that being in control of her friends ruined everything, Sasha decides to make amends by telling the townsfolk the truth. A giant Frog-Bot that spews smaller Frog-Bots attacks the town and Grime returns to help Sasha. Soon, the rest of the townsfolk join in in defeating the Frog-Bots while Sasha and Grime use the giant Frog-Bot's own missiles to blow itself up. Once again, the townsfolk thank Sasha and Grime for helping them and Sasha promises to be a real protector. As they wonder what to next, Sasha looks at Grime as he nods his head, taking the lead, she tells them that they will fight back.
