Episode Title:
Make Way for Miss Nettle.Episode Description:
Sofia, James and the school's smartest prince Desmond, go for an enchanted horticulture course taught by a new fairy schoolteacher named Miss Nettle, who was also the former apprentice of Flora, Fauna and Merriwether. Although Sofia and James are wholly impressed by the enchanted plants, Desmond is easily frightened by them. Soon however, Sofia finds out Miss Nettle's true intentions to get her hands on the headmistresses' spellbook and use it to become the most powerful fairy in the world, trapping her former mistresses in a bubble and stealing their wands. Rallying Desmond and James, they set out to stop the evil fairy by first asking their dance teacher, Mr. Pop-Off, for help, but Miss Nettle puts him in a bubble as well. The three realise that their best chance of stopping Miss Nettle is finding the spellbook before she does. The children go to the library to find a map of the school, deducing from the fairies' actions (sound cannot pass through the bubble) that the hiding place of the spellbook is in the clocktower. Sofia encourages Desmond to have more courage and to not be frightened easily, and they manage to take the spellbook just as Miss Nettle arrives and tricks them into giving it to her. The children hatch a plot to grow many Laughing Lillies, which when sprayed on Miss Nettle, makes her convulse with laughter and drop the spellbook. Freeing the fairies, Desmond courageously disarms Miss Nettle's wand, allowing Flora, Fauna and Merriwether to banish Miss Nettle away for good. The episode ends with Sofia, James and Desmond chasing after a trapped Mr. Pop-Off as his bubble floats down the street.
