EAH Review: The Tale of Legacy Day

The fenmale narrator first announces that Legacy Day is here and what the day means as we zoom into the school and its happenings. The narrators start arguing as we zoom in on Raven Queen, looking pretty depressed. She asks Maddie Hatter for help with the fact she doesn't want to sign the storybook of legends. Maddie just winds up making Raven feel worse.

The scene changes to Blondie Locks trying to convince Apple White that she is a royal. Apple calls out to Raven. Raven runs away with Maddie. Apple runs after them, explaing that she has to get Raven to sign the book.

Next, we are in a dark library. Raven and Maddie enter and go toward an old-looking door. The door uses a spell that is actrivated by Maddie's knocking to let the girls go past it. Apple asks "Raven?" amd it echoes.

Behind the door, Maddie says that Giles Grimm would know everything about the book. He greets them in Riddlish (which Maddie says is the result of a babble spell). Maddie asks Giles Grimm about the book and she translates, saying there is something wrong with it. Maddie says the story will continue if Raven doesn't sign it. Raven seems relieved until Maddie says "I think." Maddie says Riddlish is not an exact language.

We zoom into Legacy Day, with the female narrator. Headmaster Grimm announces Apple White is the next to sign. She says she is ready to pledge her destiny. She opens the book and various pictures, supposedly of her fairy-tale life. A mirror appears, showing Apple as a queen, then turns into a quill. Apple signs her name. The Royals are pictured, looking pretty happy, and the Rebels appear the opposite. The book closes and Apple leaves the stage. Headmaster Grimm introduces Raven Queen with a stormy background. The Royals are pictured, not looking entirely happy,

Raven goes to the stand, is egged on by Apple. Her key appears and falls into her hand. She unlocks the book which shows pictures of her supposed future. A mirror appears and shows Raven more of her supposed future then turns into a quill. The Royals and Rebels are pictures, both looking a bit apprehensive, She doesn't take the quill and says she will write her own destiny. She closes the book and the floating mirrors start to shatter. The Rebels cheer. She turns to Headmaster Grimm, realizing she didn't disappear. Apple asks dramatically why Raven is being so selfish. The Royals boo. The Rebels cheer. Raven starts to apologize but then freezes the entire audience.

Raven unfreezes Apple and apologizes again. She says she wants to be what she wants, not what the book says she is. She says that she is not the only one who gets to choose her own destiny; everyone can now. Apple says she doesn't want to choose her own destiny. Apple walks away, hands covering her face and acting sad and confused. The Rebels are picture and then Maddie is unfrozen. Maddie acts happy for Raven.

The male narrator says life will never be the same at EAH because of Ravem. The female narrator berates the male one. Maddie calls out to the narrators, saying that she and Maddie are trying to have a nice moment. Raven and Maddie laugh.

Headmaster Grimm is shown looking out a stormy window. He says that Raven doesn't know what she did and the results of her actions must be contained before her dangerous idea spreads. Headmaster Grimm turns to see a laughing evil mirror and then it all fades to black.

Firstly, don't forget about the contest!: ever-after-high.deviantart.com…

I really liked this episode. Compared to all the others, this one comes out on top for me. The others seemed like just filler compared to this one. The tensions between Rebels and Royals will surely be high after this episode. I have a feeling that this is probably the end of the season, or at least the beginning of a bit of a break. What will the other Rebels do? How will thee Royals react? I really want to know what happens next!
