Recap / Sofia The First S 2 E 01 Two Princesses And A Baby

Go To

It's Amber and James's birthday, but Amber is sick of sharing everything with James and wants to have it all to herself. She turns to Cedric for a spell that'll give the twins separate birthdays, but he misfires the spell and accidentally turns James into a baby.

Tropes

  • Alternate Identity Amnesia: When James is turned back to normal, he doesn't remember what he did as a baby.
  • Baby Morph Episode: The premise of the episode revolves around James being turned into a toddler for the episode due to a magical mishap.
  • Birthday Episode: This episode sets on Amber and James's birthday.
  • Comically Missing the Point: As Cedric looks for the de-aging spell in his spellbook, Amber starts annoying him by pointing out other spells.
    Amber: How about that one?
    Cedric: No, that's a shrinking spell.
    Amber: This one?
    Cedric: Sleeping spell.
    Amber: Oh, how about that one?
    Cedric: That's a "losing my patience" spell.
    Amber: Really? I never needed a spell to lose my patience.
  • Epic Fail: Instead of turning James two months younger, Cedric accidentally turns James into a two-month old baby.
  • Fountain of Youth: Cedric's spell to make James two months younger backfires, turning him into a baby who's two months old.
  • Insult Friendly Fire: When Cedric chases Rex for his spellbook, he calls him a "hare-brained hound". Clover overhears him and tells him to watch who he's calling "hare-brained".
  • It's All About Me: Amber wants her birthday to be this way without having to share anything with James. Only after recalling good times she's had with him does she learn to appreciate having a twin and share her birthday with him.
  • Kazoos Mean Silliness: As revealed in this episode, James' favourite childhood toy was a kazoo, which he often used to blow in Amber's face. In this episode, a de-aged James, now a goofy toddler, finds the kazoo again and resumes this action, to Amber's annoyance. However, after baby-James accidentally breaks the kazoo, Amber ultimately seeks out Cedric to use magic to repair it and return it to him (in normal age) as a birthday present.
  • Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is a spoof on the film Three Men and a Baby.
  • Running Gagged: Beginning with this episode, Sofia now pronounces Cedric's name correctly, ending the gag where she called him "Ceedric" throughout Season 1.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Sofia inadvertently gives Amber the idea to ask Cedric to magically make James two months younger.
