- Wow. I mean, you went all out for your dad's birthday.
When it's your birthday in Seagate,
they abandon you in the swamp,
and if you survive, you get cake.
- I've been planning my dad's birthday bash for a month.
- Hey, can you plan me one,
I mean, just like this, but with a baked potato bar?
- Dad, I got a piñata for your party.
I know how much you love smashing things
until food comes out.
- [chuckling] That's great.
I love it.
[whimpering]
- Are you okay?
[laughing] Oh, I'm fine.
[whimpering]
- I don't think he's fine.
- Will you excuse us, Piñata Boy?
- I know you think that's an insult,
but I love the name.
- Dad, what's wrong?
- I'm sorry.
Since your sister, Eliza,
still hasn't returned from battle,
it feels wrong to celebrate my birthday without her.
- Dad, I miss her, too.
And I know how much you look forward to
your birthday cake every year.
- Oh, you mean the 100-layer
Astorian King Cake Eliza makes for me?
The cake only she knows the recipe for?
Why? [sobbing]
- Dad, don't cry.
Eliza told me the recipe.
- What?!
- I was going to surprise you.
But she told me before she left.
- [chuckling]
Having that cake would make it feel like
Eliza's right here, even just for one night.
Plus, I can eat her slice.
- Just like you do when she's here.
- Whoopee! [laughing]
- Wow! I mean, you made him so happy.
- [insincere laugh]
- You don't know the recipe, do you?
- I don't even know the recipe to PB & J.
What's the "J," Arc?

- Yes, Kraken Squad. Show no mercy.
- STUDENTS: [grunts of combat continue]
- Oh. Come on, Kripan.
You trying to get worse every day?
'Cause you are.
- Sage.
I said "show no mercy,"
not squash Kripan's little heart.
He's crying in the corner again.
- [sobbing]
- I was just being honest.
My mom says, if someone's not good at something,
it is your job to make them feel bad about it.
- [giggling]
My mom says Sage is a bad influence.
[giggling]
- Sir Gareth, this just arrived for you.
- Ooh. Ooh, I...
I wish I could tell you who...
who this is from, but it's very top secret,
just very hush-hush.
- Aw, that's okay. We understand.
- It's from Astoria's biggest popstar, Katie Fairy!
I got her to sing at the King's birthday party.
- You needed a musical act and didn't call us?
- You know we have a song and dance review
for every holiday and occasion.
- Come on, Prudy,
let's go somewhere where they appreciate the arts.
- BOTH: [snapping fingers rhythmically]
- Well... that was a thing.
- Katie Fairy's singing here tonight?
She's the reason I started singing.
- Butty-Butt, I've never heard you sing before.
- I've always been too nervous
to perform in front of people--
which is why I usually only sing under water.
The flounders really think I have something.
- Well, I'm your bestie.
You have to sing something for me.
- Okay. Here goes.
[screeching] ♪ Mary had a little troll

I know you'll be honest with me.
- Wow, that was...
different.
- Different?
- D-Different as in
I wouldn't want you to sing any different--
because it was awesome.
- Oh, I knew it!
- Oh, no! No, no, no, no!
Katie Fairy cancelled!
Now I have to hold auditions
and find a singer for the King's party.
- Wow, Sir Gareth needs a singer.
Normally, I would never try out.
- Trust your instincts.
- But then you said how great my voice is.
Sir Gareth, I'm going to audition.
- Any chance that this performance is under water?
- [silently] No.
- [magic whooshing]
- Well, I had to reconstruct
Eliza's cake recipe from memory,
but I think it turned out great.
[sobbing] Right? It turned out great.
Please tell me it turned out great!
- That depends.
Did Eliza's cake look like a pumpkin
caught in a dumpster fire?
- I know it's awful.
We'll never get it right without the recipe.
- Well, why did you lie to your dad,
if you don't know how to make the cake?
- Because Eliza's out searching for the Armor of Astoria.
This is the first time my dad's had a birthday
without her being here.
- That must be hard for him.
- It is.
He's heartbroken.
While Eliza's gone, I need to fill in for her.
- I'd like to say you're off to a good start, but...
you are not at all.
- Whoa, what's going on in here?
- Why is there an ogre turd on the table?
- Because...
we are on...
a special quest from the Princess.
- I'm in!
- You don't even know--
- If my Boo needs me, then I'm in, Ciara.
- Fulfilling a quest for the Princess
could be great for the Phoenix Squad.
How can we help?
- Okay, she needs us to bake
a 100-layer Astorian King Cake for the party.
- But Princess Eliza is the only one who knows the recipe.
- Well, we actually know one other person
who's an expert in Astorian baking.
- Oh, is it you?
Because that would be super-convenient.
- It's not me.
And you're not gonna like who it is.
Jimbo.
- ALL: Jimbo?
- I told you you weren't gonna like who it is.
- You think your psycho ex-squad mate
who left us to rot in the Cave of Farts
would really tell us the recipe?
- Yeah, he hates us.
- Well, he's had a lot of time to think in the dungeon.
Maybe he's changed.
- Phoenix Squad...
it's so good to see you.
So, I can destroy you for what you've done to me!
- Nope. He hasn't changed.

Let's go.
- Mermaid tears, enchanted flour, goblin chocolate.
Just a few of the ingredients in the Astorian King Cake.
- Okay, Jimbo knows the recipe.
- That's right.
But the only way you're getting that cake
is if I bake it myself!
Which means you're gonna have to break me out of here.
- Huh...
I'll say this for Jimbo. It's never boring.
- [magic whooshing]
- Wow, a lot of people are auditioning.
Guess we should go home and never speak of this again.
- We can't leave. I have to sing.
- No, stop! Uh...
you should save your voice.
- Now, thank you all for coming.
I'm looking for an amazing singer
to make the King's birthday party a huge success.
This honor does not come without some risk.
Last year, the singer hit a bad note,
and was pelted by tomatoes.
- Was he okay?
- Oh. Oh, no. [chuckling]
No, he was chased out of Astoria
and forced to live in the woods.
Even the squirrels laugh at him.
Who's ready to audition?
- No, no, no, no, no!
It wasn't squirrels. It was chipmunks.
Does that make it better?
- I don't want you to get pelted by tomatoes.
- Nobody's going to throw anything at me.

her singing is awful.

You've gotta tell that girl she can't sing.
- I can't crush Buttercup's dream.
She's the one person in the kingdom
whose feelings I actually care about.

Buttercup, if no one else shows up,
you win.
- I need to find somebody else to audition.
- You need a singer?
I don't wanna brag,
but when I sing unicorns weep.
Then what'll it take for you to audition
and beat Buttercup?
- You do weeks of my knight school janitor duty,
including toilet patrol.
- Fine. - Let's shake on it.
- We have a deal, but I'm not shaking your toilet hand.

Here's my plan.
We get a catapult.
- And...?
- Look, I can't be expected to fill in all the details.
- Well, I'm not giving up. I'm busting Jimbo out
and he's baking Eliza's cake.
- To get past that dungeon guard,
you're gonna need Prudy's and Warwick's help, too.
- I know that.
I've already figured out how to change their minds.
Look, guys, it's Sergeant Dimo
and he appears to have an important message for us.
- Attention, Phoenix Squad.
I have an important message for you.
- No way. Who's it from?
Someone important that we respect?
- It's from the Princess--
who's important and who we respect.
- The Princess sent me a love letter?
She made the first move.
It's too much for me to handle.
- I should probably take that.
Thank you.
"Phoenix Squad,
"the Astorian King Cake is the greatest gift
"I could ever give to my father.
Please do anything it takes to make this happen."
- But the Princess doesn't know
that getting the recipe
involves doing something very wrong.
- "Please do this,
"even if you have to do something very wrong.
XOXO, the Princess."
- Aw, she makes happy faces with her Os.
Okay, let's do it. - Sweet!
