Plot
Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos visit the Isle of the Lost to choose four new villain kids (VKs) to take to Auradon. They pick Dizzy, granddaughter of Lady Tremaine; Celia, daughter of Dr. Facilier; and Squeaky and Squirmy, the twin sons of Mr. Smee.
The day the kids are to be picked up, Mal's boyfriend Ben, the king of Auradon, proposes. Mal accepts. Ben's ex-girlfriend Audrey seethes with jealousy, and her grandmother Queen Leah admonishes her for failing to secure the family legacy by marrying Ben. As the older VKs return to Auradon after picking up the kids, Hades attempts to break through the Isle's barrier, but Mal stops him, getting weakened in the process.
Unable to let go of her resentment of Mal, Audrey steals the Queen's crown and Maleficent's scepter from the museum, gaining magical powers and becoming a villain. Following the theft and Hades' escape attempt, Mal suggests the best way to protect Auradon is to close the Isle's barrier permanently.
