Enchanted Girl: I sense your guilt, Cassandra.
After all, Rapunzel was your friend,
and you betrayed her. But,
one could argue that she deserved it.
-Maybe. -Oh, yes.
More than you know,
for she has already taken a piece
of your newfound power.

Almost there.

Well, you never know when you might need to
sneak outta the castle, right?

Is that a millipede?
Oh! It's a centipede, actually.

Oh. Okay.
Well (sigh) thank you
(chuckle) for all your help today.
What... a... dud.
Okay, sorry. That was harsh.
I didn't mean that.
Still, I don't think it's gonna work out.
This is the fifth handmaiden we've tried out.
I mean, don't you think maybe you're expecting your new
lady-in-waiting to be someone she's not?
I am not expecting her to be Cassandra.
I never said that.
Well good, because she's gone and I'm over it.
Well then, maybe you need to give
the dud a little more time.
You and Cass took a little while
to warm up to each other, didn't you?
No... Cass and I pretty much
got along right away.
I can't stand her.
I want out.
No, you're not getting reassigned.
Look, being a lady-in-waiting is one thing,
