Eugene actually is doing this to increase his father-in-law(-to-be)'s opinion of him, but King Frederic is oblivious to that. Meanwhile, Rapunzel learns the meaning of the word "pranked" and then gets a little too enthusiastically into doing that herself.

Cassandra "congratulates" Rapunzel for actually pulling a prank but tells her she didn't think about the consequences. Rapunzel says [[SubvertedTrope she did]] and, since she'll be too busy with Princess duties to do the repainting, Cassandra will have to do it.
