- All rise!
The court of the Magical High Commission
is now in session.
Her Majesty, Queen Moon of Mewni, presiding.
Thank you.
We are gathered here today for the trial of Eclipsa--
I'm sorry! I-I'm sorry I'm late!
We haven't had a trial in so long,
I didn't know where to find the typey thingy.
Usually Rhombulus just crystallizes everybody. Ha ha!
With his laser eye. But a real trial!
This is exciting!
That depends on where you're sitting.
- As I was saying...
we're gather here today for the trail
- of Eclipsa--
We shall determine once and for all whether Eclipsa
has committed the evil deeds recorded in our histories.
If she is found guilty, the punishment will be--
Death! Death!
Rhombulus, we talked about this.
Well, we crystallized her last time.
Look how that turned out! Death!
Hey! Sit down.
Yes, ma'am.
Well, that's all in order. But what is she doing here?
This is supposed to be a private hearing!
Star was the one who convinced me
to hold this trial in the first place.
If Eclipsa is found guilty, I want her to be here to see it.
Or if she's innocent, which she is,
I wanna see all y'all's faces
when you realize how wrong you were.
If you think you can just waltz in here--
I can waltz wherever I want!
- No!
Excuse me!
Hey, sorry, but could you talk a bit slower, please?
No.
Queen Moon, what evidence have you brought us?
I'm afraid this is the evidence.
It's less impressive than it looks.
These are all secondhand accounts,
oral histories, folk stories, none of them verified.
There's no way around it. Come on, everybody grab a stack.
You guys aren't gonna seriously sit here
- Yes, I don't mean to fuss,
but exactly how long is this trial meant to last?
As long as it takes.
Now to begin, we must organize each
and every one of these documents by date and author.
Sounds like math!
Once we've constructed a rough timeline, we can--
That won't be necessary. I request a trial by Box.
- Awesome! - Well, it looks like I won't be needing these anymore.
Sean, cancel my lunch order.
We're gonna be done here pretty quick.
Lunch?
Eclipsa, are you sure about this?
The Box is a ruthless seeker of truth.
If you attempt to conceal anything from it,
crystallization may be the least of your worries.
I'm tired of sitting around
waiting for you to decide my fate.
I'll give you the truth, all of it,
and if that means crystallization, so be it.
Sean, we wish to invoke trial by Box.
Yes, Your Majesty.
The Box of Truth has arrived!
Wait, is that Truth or Punishment?
What? No, no, no, no. This is the Box of Truth.
That, my friend, is Truth or Punishment.
We played it at my sleepover.
You played it? The Box is not a game!
Who do you have a crush on?
Queen Moon!
It must be on the wrong setting.
We need to talk.
All right, ladies, are you--
Prepare for judgment!
The rules are simple.
Each member of the Magical High Commission
shall ask one question, and the accused must answer.
To all who seek the path of knowledge,
listen well to this decree.
Surrender to the eye of justice.
Swear an oath of Truth to me.
Ooh. Different poem. Different poem.
- I swear. - I swear.
I swear.
I, uh... swear?
- I swear.
And now, it's time for trial by Box.
Eclipsa, did you write the evil chapter
in the book of spells?
Exhibit A!
Yes, I did, but, for the record,
I never called it the Evil Chapter.
That was your people's name for it.
I wrote plenty of eviler spells
that never even made it into the final draft.
Writing is rewriting, you know.
Truth!
Whatever.
Have you guys even read her chapter?
Hekapoo, the second question goes to you.
Box, pull up the royal archives for me, would ya?
Exhibit B.
Did you abandon your husband, King Shastakan,
and your kingdom to elope with a monster?
Oh, hello, sweetie.
Yes, I did run off with a monster.
But could you really blame me?
How could I resist a smile like that?
Truth again!
Aww! Huh?
- Uh-huh. - Come on, Eclipsa.
- Rhombulus, the third-- !
What?
Ugh! Bobipsa was the baby-eater, not Eclipsa!
Oh, right. I wanna take my question back.
There are no take-backs in trial by Box!
Well, I hate to disappoint you,
but I'm afraid I have not eaten even a single baby.
Now, I did hurt the occasional teenager,
but only psychologically, and they always deserved it.
We're on a roll here, people!
What is wrong-- didn't you hear her?
She didn't eat those babies!
Star, sit down.
We must respect the rules of the Box.
Fine!
Eclipsa...
Are you sorry for what you've done?
No, I'm not.
! - The nerve! Outrageous!
That settles it.
Rhombulus, if you would.
- Right. - One moment.
I haven't asked my question.
Wait. What?
- She can't ask us a question.
Um... I think she can!
Right, mom? My mom said! She said in the rules!
Technically since Eclipsa was once a queen of Mewni,
she is still a member of the Magical High Commission,
and every member gets to ask one question.
What did you do with my daughter?
Uh, I have no idea what she's talking about.
We didn't do anything with your daughter!
And honestly? I-I'm kind of offended.
Too bad for you.
Everyone lied!!
What's happening? We told the truth!
Are you sure about that?
Uh, c'mon, guys, spit it out!
We didn't do anything wrong!
The Box seems to differ!
We aren't the ones on trial!
If you'd rather get to the truth more quickly,
I can work with that.
That's not good.
Guys!
My magic's no good in here!
Moon, please shut it off!
I can't do that. We all took the oath!
Oh, no. Okay, I'm done! I want out!
We're gonna be crushed!
You know, this is so unfair!
You enforce the laws of magic on everyone around you.
And yet for some reason, you can lie to us?
How does that make you any different
than the villain you say Eclipsa is?
We got rid of your daughter, sorry!
Truth!
What the heck, Rhombulus?!
I'm sorry, I'm tired of keeping it a secret.
Tell 'em Omni.
Fine.
Eclipsa, your ex-husband, King Shastakan,
he wanted nothing to do with your half-monster daughter.
So we swapped her out with a peasant girl.
We gave her the Royal Magic Wand,
and she became the next Queen of Mewni.
Eclipsa has been found guilty of crimes against Mewmanity.
However, the Magical High Commission
has also been found guilty
of tampering with Mewni's history
and omitting the truth
from the Butterfly family for generations.
This concludes the trial.
Although if we're all being honest here,
it seems like y'all still have some issues to deal with.
So it was just as we suspected.
What?!
Uh, Moon?
We knew there was something missing
from our family's history.
Eclipsa's daughter should be recorded here
in the royal archives, but she's gone.
Wait a minute. This whole trial was a set!
You were planning this all along!
Actually, we all planned this.
We thought you might be hiding something.
And it turns out we were right.
You lied to our family for generations.
We had to.
Can you imagine if the power of Magic
fell into the hands of a monster?
You let us live a lie.
We shouldn't even have the throne.
Eclipsa isn't even-- wait.
You aren't actually my great-great-great-
great-something-grandma.
No, sweetie, I'm not.
Then... that means...
we're no more royal than anybody else.
You're still a princess, Star.
No, Mom. We're nobody.
Star! Star, wait!
