5	-->--'''Bean'''
6
7	Bean sneaks a guy into her room, feigning being a normal girl that likes to break in the castle. He quickly figures it out and leaves, saying that he heard how her suitors tend to die.
8
9	Sorcerio and Odval talk about plans to reunite a secret order when the King leaves. Sorcerio reveals to Zog that there still no advances on the elf's blood research. During dinner, Zog drinks water from the local fountain, which is polluted and dirty to the point of making him incredibly sick as soon as it was drank. Oona and Derek take him to a spa where he can be healed. Zog tells everyone to not make anything while he is away, leaving Odval in charge. As soon as the King leaves the castle, the court rejoices that he left.
10
11	Bean decides to throw a party, and Elfo is convinced to join when Luci implies he may be able to get with Bean during the party.
12
13	Meanwhile, on the spa, Zog is chained to a table and is interviewed by a strange and possibly lunatic man called Chazz.
14
15	Bean wants to find someone to hook up in the party she'll throw, which fills Elfo with hope to get with her. Bean lets the word out about a wild party on the castle at night and the word spreads like wild fire to the whole kingdom. After preparations are done, Bean finds out a lot of people came to the party. Sorcerio and Odval start their secret meeting, which turns out to be some kind of sex party. As the party goes on, Bean still finds it hard to find someone to date, and tries time after time again, with different approaches, to get together with a guy, but all of them turn her down. Elfo eats a lot of cheese in the party alone, but is pushed by Luci to get going and talk to Bean.
16
17	A group of Land Vikings get to Dreamland. Elfo finally comes close to Bean and starts talking to her about how he's been since he left Elfwood, things start going smoothly up until the Vikings get to the party and attract Bean. Meanwhile, Chazz continues to infuriate Zog. Bean meets the Viking leader, who interests her greatly due to his looks and his disdain for a king's authority. Elfo is instantaneously jealous and tries to get Odval to end the party, but he refuses because he is having an orgy with Sorcerio.
18
19	Bean and the Viking Leader, Sven, get to her room, which she pretends to be Bunty's. Elfo is alone among the couples formed in the party, but gets fed up and goes to Bean's room to stop her fooling around from Sven, letting it slip that Bean is the princess and that the court is working on the ElixirOfLife. Sven changes his priorities and leaves Bean behind. Elfo realizes he has been a party pooper and hasn't done Bean any favors, and Bean decides to end the party. The two go downstairs to see that the party goers have all been murdered and Sven occupies the throne, who has taken the throne. After being outnumbered greatly, Bean, Elfo and Luci are thrown in front of Sven.
20
21	In the spa, Zog breaks free and runs away, and it's revealed that it's all part of a crazy treatment.
22
23	Hearing that Zog is coming back, Bean needs to crack up a plan to get rid of the vikings. She seduces Sven into accepting her as his queen and saying that she has the ElixirOfLife. Elfo and her lead the vikings to the castle's polluted fountain and, after Elfo drinks a bit to prove that it's real, convince all the vikings to taste from the fountain. All of them get severe stomachache instantaneously and run into a trap on the middle of the castle, hanging in the trap door on the throne room, which Bean pushes them from.
24
25	Sorcerio and Odval come back and agree to help her clean up if no one talks about this night ever again. They quickly clean up the castle from corpses and from the party sufficiently for Zog that just came back to not suspect anything. Bean, Elfo and Luci watch the sun rise together afterwards.
26
27	In the following morning however, Zog pokes the fireplace finding out all the bodies the group hid.
28	----
29	!!Tropes:
30	* AccidentalMurder: Bean tricks the Vikings into falling through the castle's {{trapdoor}} leading to the ocean, assuming that [[SoftWater they'll be fine once they hit the water]]. [[SubvertedTrope But because of the low tide, they die anyways]].
31	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Bean keeps ''trying'' to hook up with one since most regular guys are too scared of getting killed by her BoyfriendBlockingDad to sleep with her. She ''almost'' hooks up with Sven, the leader of the Land Vikings, only to lose interest when he reveals his true colors.
32	* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The Vikings attempt to seize the castle, planning to soon take all of Dreamland.
33	* AmbiguouslyBrown: One of the Land Vikings appears to be a ''literal'' BlackViking.
34	* AnachronismStew: A man scolds the Vikings for parking their land-ship on his lawn.
35	* AnArmAndALeg: Elfo's opposed to the party on the grounds that Zog threatened to cut off both his arms if Bean gets up to anything. He was originally going to just cut off ''one'' arm, but it was Elfo's "lucky" arm, so he upped the ante. Oops.
36	* BaitAndSwitch:
37	** When Bean orders the drawbridge lowered for the party, it first looks like no-one's showed up. Then she orders the painting of the countryside (which hasn't been hinted at before, and won't be seen again) lowered as well, at which point it turns out the whole kingdom's shown up.
38	** After getting rid of the Land Vikings, the Scribe starts narrating, asking WillTheyOrWontThey... notice Zog's just pulled into the courtyard.
39	* BerserkButton:
40	** Chazz insists Zog not rattle the clamps holding him to the table. It ''enrages'' him.
41	** When Sven is holding onto the edge of the trapdoor for his life, he demands that Bean should {{save\|TheVillain}} him because he's "your future husband". Bean takes a hammer from Luci to smash his hand and send him falling.
42	* BrickJoke: Elfo suggests stuffing a bunch of dismembered body parts in the chimney. King Zog finds them at the end of the episode.
43	* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Just when it seems like Zog is none the wiser about Bean's party and she got away with it, he discovers the dismembered body parts in the chimney. This leads to the events of the next episode, where she is banished from the castle.
44	* CrazyJealousGuy: Elfo toward Bean, something she calls him out on, and he has to learn to overcome.
45	* DisneyVillainDeath: Bean causes all of the Vikings to fall down into the ocean to their demises. She admits that she wasn't even ''trying'' to kill them (she assumed they would survive somehow), but given that [[AssholeVictim they were a bunch of mass-murdering scumbags]], it's not really a bad thing that they died.
46	* FanDisservice: Zog walks out of the spa in anger while still naked. In front of his wife and son as well.
47	* FreezeFrameBonus: If you pause at 16:33, you can see what looks like a demonic elf walking in the cavern next to Elfo. The part 2 finale [[spoiler: reveals it to be a Trog, a race of creatures that live under Dreamland castle.]]
48	* GrimyWater: Played for laughs with the polluted water of Dreamland's fountain. It's green in coloration, initially has a dead horse half-submerged in it, and when Bean tosses the "Closed" sign in to it the water dissolves it in seconds like it's HollywoodAcid.
49	* HornyVikings: The ''Land'' Vikings are a twist on this trope. Instead of being a bunch of Norse pirate warriors who sail and plunder on the high seas, they're basically a bandit gang who roam around in boat-shaped vehicles on dry land, raiding cities along the way.
50	* HypocriticalHumor: Zog storms out of the health spa, declaring he still has his dignity. While completely naked.
51	* ImplausibleDeniability: Bean swears she's not the princess even as her would-be lover is looking at a painting of her hanging over her fireplace, with a crown and fancy dress.
52	* INeedToGoIronMyDog: A knight Bean asks to dance with her excuses himself that he as to go on a crusade. An obvious lie since he immediately starts flirting with 2 other ladies.
53	* InstantMessengerPigeon: Bean uses turkeys to distribute some of the invitations to the party.
54	* JerkassRealization: Elfo realizes that he's been controlling Bean when he tries to explain his jealousy.
55	* LampshadeHanging: When Zog returns, he begins narrating his every action. As he sits down on his throne, Bean points it out, and he states he had a stroke on the way home.
56	* LaserGuidedKarma: Bean convinces Sven and the other Vikings that their polluted well water is actually the ElixirOfLife, and that drinking it will provide them with immortality. To prove its purity, and to make up for causing the whole mess out of jealousy, Elfo volunteers to drink some and proceeds to become violently ill.
57	** Zog starts the episode pleased that being King means he never has to work and everyone has to obey him. After drinking contaminated water, he laments that he beheaded everyone in the kingdom with a medical license and has to be sent to a spa, where he's literally shackled to a table and forced to listen as his spa attendant Chazz tortures him with rambling anecdotes for 24-straight hours. Every time he starts to complain, Chazz hits him with a stick.
58	* MagicAIsMagicA: Discussed. When an irritated man complains to the Vikings for parking their ship on his lawn, he gets confused by one of the Vikings saying his arrow allows him to park wherever he wants, wondering if he means the arrow can literally talk. The guy then has a rant about how it's really confusing to never know what is possible and what isn't in a world full of magic.
59	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Elfo gets angry when Vikings crash the party and Bean goes off to hook up with their leader, Sven. Frustrated and jealous, Elfo crashes and ruins Bean's sexual encounter by spilling the beans about her true identity and reveals he's the key to the ElixirOfLife, resulting in Sven killing all the party guests and taking over the castle to get said Elixir.
60	* NotSoAboveItAll: Odval tries giving a speech about how they will cope with Zog's absence, only to crack up after a few sentences.
61	* OfCorpseHesAlive: Luci jokes that Bean should do this as a way to deal with her father.
62	* PropheticName: Discussed. Sven is reluctant to drink the "Elixer of Life" due to seeing dead bugs and a dead squirrel floating in it. Elfo tries to cover by claiming it's his pet, Bloaty. Sven understandably doesn't buy that Elfo named his pet squirrel Bloaty ''before'' it died and got bloated up.
63	* RapePillageAndBurn: Sven and the Vikings massacre the vast majority of the party guests, though no named characters were among the victims.
64	* RiddleForTheAges: Pendergast, Turbish, and Mertz were all playing at the party, but aren't among those killed by the Vikings, showing up in later episodes. How exactly they survived is never explained.
65	* SecretCircleOfSecrets: Odval and Sorcerio are members of a mysterious secret society, which they claim [[AncientConspiracy runs the world behind the scenes]]. Their secret society holds a meeting in the underground chambers beneath the castle, simultaneously during Bean's party. However, these people aren't shown to be making any schemes more sinister beyond [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a wild pansexual orgy]].
66	* ShootTheMessenger: The Herald comes over to announce that King Zog is on his way back to the castle, but he survives getting three arrows fired into his back by the Vikings. And then he simply asks them to please not shoot him again.
67	* TooDumbToLive: Zog drinks tainted water only a few seconds after noticing it's tainted, because he got distracted by what he said.
68	** Sven and the Land Vikings. After noticing dead bugs and squirrels floating in the water and making Elfo drink first, Sven ignores Elfo's obvious wincing and gagging and decides to drink it anyway on the grounds that when he's immortal he'll have more time to deliberate such things. Cue food poisoning. He then makes the final mistake of ''[[BerserkButton commanding]]'' Bean to save him when he's dangling over the ocean by his fingers.
69	* WhatTheHellHero: Bean calls Elfo out on trying to control her, just like her dad.
70	* WildTeenParty: Bean throws one in the castle in her dad's absence, hoping to finally score with a handsome guy without getting in trouble for it.
71	* WillTheyOrWontThey: InUniverse, the town crier poses this question, at first seeming to be about Bean and Elfo... [[BaitAndSwitchComment before adding to the question to refer to Zog's imminent arrival]].
72	* WorstAid: Zog's cure involves him being tortured by Chazz for a day until he finally gets the strength to break himself free. Chazz admits that the torture part may be superfluous.
