| 16 | "The Sleepover" | 28 September 2018 | March 11, 2018 | |
| Regal Academy welcomes two formerly homeschooled students: the Sleeping Beauty fraternal twins Adonis and Ambrosia, both whose beauty charms everyone at once. In an effort to be friends, the twins invite the students to a sleepover party at their castle, but Rose feels uneasy at how Ambrosia, while nice and kind, has a crush on Hawk, who seems to be equally entranced by her. The party gives Kira an idea to wreck some havoc, especially since Sleeping Beauty has invited the Evil Fairy to prevent a similar curse from befalling her grandchildren. Teamed up with the Snow Queen and the Evil Fairy to trap everyone in the castle, Kira, Vicky and Cyrus manage to put Joy, Ambrosia and Ardonis to sleep with potions, and continue to split up throughout the castle to do the same to everyone else. Astoria stay behind to take care of those who have fallen asleep whilst Rose, Hawk, Travis and Ling Ling rush to find everyone and return them to safety. As Travis is struck by Cyrus' potion, the remainder successfully manage to suppress the Evil Fairy and remove the enchanted mattresses trapping everyone in the castle, and split up, with Ling Ling and Astoria fending off the Snow Queen and Rose and Hawk trying to find Sleeping Beauty's family magic to break the sleeping spell. The two unsuccessfully try to awaken the twins with a kiss, but when it fails to work Rose secretly feels happy at the confirmation that Hawk isn't exactly in love with Ambrosia. Instead, Rose uses Mirror Hawk to wake Ambrosia and Adonis' own reflection to wake himself, allowing them to cast True Love Magic to break the Evil Fairy's spell. With the rest of the students awake, they help Astoria and Ling Ling fend off the Snow Queen, saving the sleepover. Ambrosia, remembering the kiss, decides to give up on her feelings for Hawk, but admits that she's still a little jealous of Rose and extends a hand of friendship to her. | ||||

However, Rapunzel decides to stop her granddaughter's enrolment, deciding that it is time for her to wait in the historic Rapunzel tower to be saved by a prince who will marry her through a competition testing their valour. Although initially appalled, Astoria agrees on the condition that her grandmother will let her take the advance placement test, and if she passes she will return to school. Vicky, Cyrus and Kira, thinking that Astoria being in the tower leaves her vulnerable, are determined to get rid of her. Conjuring a fake rulebook, they pinpoint the visiting Prince Leaf, who has wings on his back and a huge crush on Astoria, to bend the rules that princes cannot fly over with the help of a dragon. Despite Shawn reaching the tower first, he overhears Astoria wishing for someone she loves to marry her instead of one chosen through a contest, making him hesitate and Leaf almost ringing the bell first. As Leaf attempts to explain to the guardian dragon by showing the rulebook, it explodes and allows the Snow Queen's dragon to enter the premises and wreck mayhem, with Shawn rescuing Astoria on his dragon and Rose and Travis helping fend off the Snow Queen's. With no clear victor, the competition is declared void and Astoria successfully returns to school with the help of a magic talking book in the tower letting her pass the test and accepts Shawn's feelings for her. | ||||
