Evie sat on her bed in her bedroom when Jay walked in "Hey Beautiful." He says. Evie doesn't respond "What's up?" Jay asks her. Still no response "Evie?" Jay says and mocks his head to the side and looks at her "Are you alright?" he asks. She just sighs "Eve's, tell me what's going on." He tells her. She glances at him "I had a thought." She says. Jay sits down next to her "About what?" He asks. She looks Jay deeply into his eyes "What if Uma's ship was just Step One of Ben's plan?" She asks. He looks at her confused "What are you talking about?" He asks his girlfriend "What if Ben has this whole plan, and destroying Uma's ship was just the first step? What if burning our food or water is the next step? Or take one of the kids as a hostage?" She says. Jay holds her hands in his "I'm sure he won't do anything else. Mal and Carlos probably scared him off." He chuckles and wraps an arm around his girlfriend "Everything is going to be alright. There is no need to fear Ben. We should fear Mal." He chuckles. She laughs and kisses his cheek "If you say so, I trust you." She says.

Meanwhile, in Auradon, Ben was still in his office. He thought about what happened this afternoon. The door of his office opened and snapped him out of his thoughts. He looks up and sees Jack "Jack, what are you doing here this late?" He asks "My king, someone was trying to sneak onto the campus." Jack says "Who?" Ben asks. Jack steps aside revealing Carlos "I'm here to help, alright, let me go!" Carlos said. Ben took a deep breath "Leave, I'll handle it." The young king says. The guards let go of Carlos's arms and left the office. Ben glanced at the white-haired boy "You got caught? Never expected that to happen." He says. Carlos chuckles "Trust me, I wanted to get caught so they would bring me to you. Saved me some time and strength." He says. Ben sits down in his chair "Where's Mal?" He asks "In her bed, I hope." Carlos tells him. Ben looks at him confused "You didn't take her with you? Did she send you here?" He asks "If so, you can leave, I don't have anything to tell you." "Mal didn't send me," Carlos said, "I wanted to talk to you, just the two of us." Carlos tells him. Ben chuckles "Like I believe that. Leave, before I lock you up." He threats.

Carlos chuckles and sits on a chair "You've got a lot to learn about us villains." He said. Ben sighs and leans on his desk "Why are you here, Carlos? You wouldn't be here if Mal didn't send you." Ben barked at him "Easy boy, I only have one...maybe two questions." Carlos said. Ben nods "Go on then." "Did you destroy Uma's ship so people would die?" The white-haired boy asked. Ben yawns "And why would you think that?" He asks. Carlos takes off his jacket "There are two reasons why you would destroy one of our only ships. One, to kill and scare us. Two, you're trying to stop us from coming to Auradon." Carlos said. Ben chuckles "You're smart, Carlos. Yes, I tried to kill and scare you and your people. I am also trying to stop you from coming here, it's what's best for my people." the young king said. Carlos sighs "Ben, we are not a threat to your people." "Villians will always be a threat," Ben said "It doesn't matter if they've trying to be better or not. Villains will always have evil blood running through their veins. I can't risk anyone living in fear because you opened the barrier." Ben said raising his voice a little. Carlos puts his hands up "Technically, Mal opened the barrier, I was just there to help her." He says.

Ben groans "Yeah, you helped her. Carlos, let me ask you a question." He said and walked towards Carlos. Carlos crossed his arms over his chest "When was the last time Mal helped you?" He asked. The white-haired boy started to smirk a little "Actually..." "I wasn't talking about that." Carlos starts to think. He didn't remember the last time Mal helped him. He heard a chuckle "Exactly, you're trying so hard to make her happy, to help her when she needs you to. But did she ever help you, Carlos?" Ben asks him. Carlos chuckles "You're playing mind games on me, you can't crack me that easily. I can handle them, Mal told me how. It seems like she did help me sometimes." He says and puts his jacket back on "You know nothing, Ben." He says. Ben leans down right next to his ear "Face it, you're just her dog, not her husband, you're worthless." He says "Mal doesn't need anyone by her side. You and your friends are just there to clean up her mess." Ben said breathily 

*Time Skip*

Harry walked out of Mal's bedroom and closed the door behind him. When he turned around he saw Carlos walking towards him "Carlos?" He says "Hey, is Mal asleep?" Carlos asks. Harry nods "How did it go with Ben?" He asks "Not good. He did tell me why he destroyed Uma's ship." He says. Harry crosses his arms over his chest "Why did he do it?" "To kill, scare, and make it a lot more difficult to go back to Auradon." Carlos explains. Harry sighs "This is abominable. He didn't say anything else?" He asks. Carlos shakes his head "Nope, nothing." Carlos sighs "You should get some sleep, I'll take her from here. Thanks by the way." He says. Harry smiles and walks off. Carlos opened the door of his bedroom and closed the door behind him. When he turned around Mal was standing in front of him "Where were you?" She asks "At Uma's ship, well, what's left of it." He tells her. Mal sniffs his shirt "You don't smell like fish." She tells him. Carlos smiles and brushes some hair out of her face "We can talk about this tomorrow, right now you need some sleep." He says and lies her on the bed. Carlos wraps his arms around her and falls asleep with Mal in his arms.
