Dream Weaver and Leaf Fall deboard the Dread-Yacht 2.0. on the Academy's roof, the hub's leitmotif playing. The latter turns to the former. "Is there anything else I can help with?"
She shakes her head. "All that is left is brewing the elixir."
He nods and begins moving away. "Well, see ya."

Dream walks into the Academy's kitchen, where Firefly and Dreamcatcher are preparing dinner. The former is fanning the stove's flames, the latter flipping eggs in a frying pan with the aid of her Bow Bots.
"Yo, Dream!" The moth calls. "Get the flower yet?"
"We did, and we also eliminated the Rotter." She moves over to an alchemy station near the duo. "What is on the menu?"
"Scrambled eggs," the head answers. "Nightshade won't need to worry about spider parts being in them."
"Good." The spider person removes the Forget-Me-Nots and other herbs from a pouch. She next looks through a notebook with the memory elixir's recipe, brow furrowing. "Hm. That could be an issue."
"What's the matter?" The moth asks.
She looks up. "This recipe needs a chaotic essence from someone specializing in Magic arcane. It is like a spark of creativity that helps a person get past writer's block. I forgot about it earlier because I was tunneling on getting the flower." She begins walking out. "I will be right back with Spellslamzer."

Dream finds the Spell Punk flying inside the study, reading a book as Faceless replaces Sky Test Area. "I hope I am not interrupting anything important, Spellslamzer."
He closes the book with one hand, descends to her level. "There is nothing to interrupt now that Buzz just has to restore his memories." His eyes focus on her. "Speaking of which, why did you not just unblock them yourself? It is what I would have done."
Haze pops into existence between the two members of the Shrink Squad. "Forcefully altering memories is unethical."
The spider person nods. "I learned that the hard way on April Fool's Day, when I made everyone in Winter Keep think I was Mons." She stares off into space, smiling.

The cutscene's art style again changes to a pre-rendered 2D slideshow, an instrumental cover of Beauty of Annihilation playing. Frost Elves are marching through the icy streets of Winter Keep towards an imposing ice palace, chanting: "Tagann Si!"
Brain, a penguin, and Whiplash are standing in front of a sculpture of an elf, looking positively perplexed about what the Mons is going on.
Back in the Dream Realm, the hunter is observing all of Winter Keep's inhabitants, having way too much fun with herself.

(The arc spoilers for Skylands Legends end here.)
The cutscene's art style reverts to rendered 3D in the Academy, where Dream is still smiling. "Alas, it was fun while it lasted." Remembering why she came to the Spell Punk, she returns to reality and looks at him. "In any case, Spellslamzer, I wanted to see if I could borrow some of your chaotic essence for Buzz' elixir."
His eyes widen in understanding. "Ah. So we are going to forcefully unblock his memories."
She scowls. "It is not by force if he is doing it of his own free will. If it were that," she grabs a startled Haze, going through the actions. "I would tilt his head back with one hand while pouring the contents down his throat with the other."
