Descendants 2

Mal first has a daydream of her, Jay, Carlos, and Evie, huddled around a bubbling cauldron. In the daydream, she casts a spell on some apples to make the taster wicked. The four are then shown passing out apples and watching chaos break loose ("Ways To Be Wicked"). Mal is struggling with her new celebrity life as the girlfriend of King Ben. In order to maintain an "princess-like" persona, she has put a spell on her hair to make it blonde and is forced to wear an exhausting prim and proper façade. She longs to go back to the Isle, where she was carefree and always wreaking havoc.

She snaps out of her daydream and is found to be crowded by several reporters in the front of the school asking her questions about the Cotillion and her life in Auradon. Ben and the Fairy Godmother intervene to veer the reporters away from a very relieved Mal. Ben talks to Mal about spending time together, before remembering that he is late for a council meeting and leaves abruptly after apologizing to Mal. Evie and Mal then walk away to get to Mal's dress fitting for the Cotillion.

Mal is then shown in her Cotillion dress getting fitted by Evie in their room. She complains of her discomfort to Evie about the dress, along with the stress of all the events she has to attend to even after the Cotillion. She then asks Evie about what they would be doing if they were still in the Isle, which Evie laughs off. The TV then shows Mal and Ben on their tour of Auradon dining with Aladdin and Jasmine, which they stop to watch. The TV goes on to talk about the days until the Cotillion when Mal would officially be a Lady of the Court.

Mal realizes how little time she has until the Cotillion, and uses her spell book to read a book on "Lady Manners" at lightning speed. Evie scolds Mal for her dishonest use of magic for her problems, but Mal argues that she could not deal with all the events without it. Evie takes the spell book away and when Mal begins to protest, she tells her that her spell book should be put in the museum along with Evie's Magic Mirror. After reluctantly giving up, Mal asks if Evie ever missed being evil and carefree, but Evie says she is content with her new life in Auradon and does not wish to return to the Isle of the Lost. They watch the TV, which is talking about Mal's date with Ben. Evie attempts to cheer Mal up by talking about the endless opportunities of Auradon to be whatever they wanted to be and encouraging her to forget about the past. When Mal still seems sad, Evie cheers her up by showing off her Cotillion shoes.

Mal then is shown walking through school with Evie, Jay, and Carlos. Jay flirts with some girls and Carlos asks why he hasn't picked anyone to bring to the Cotillion already, which he responds that he's going solo so that he can dance with all of them. After Carlos calls him the expert, he asks him on advice on asking a girl to the Cotillion, and Jay jokingly responds that he has to look like him. They run into Jane, who addresses Mal, but Carlos cuts in. He nervously asks her if she liked the carrot cake the night before, and Jane says that she had the pumpkin pie. After Jay drags him off, Evie addresses Lonnie and Jane if they wanted a spot for Cotillion fitting at three, Lonnie hurriedly claims it. She apologizes to Jane, saying that she will take Jane later.
