4->''"[Restore] Our kingdom? Yes. Our marriage? Not so yes. I want a divorce."''
5-->--'''Oona''', to Zøg.
6
7Oona joins a pirate crew after fleeing underwater. Bean, Luci and Elfo return to Dreamland only to find a maddened Zøg. When the two groups find each other, a negotiation starts.
8----
9On Mermaid Island, after some time with the mermaids, Bean decides they have to return, so she can undo the troubles she has caused. Getting across from the island to Dreamland is not an easy task, not when the only thing they have is a small rowboat and Elfo is still justifiably angry about how Bean didn't try to resurrect him. Bean apologizes and they make up.
10
11Oona, in the meantime, has decided it is enough loneliness and easily gets rid of everything tying her to the anchor, and she is rescued by a pirate ship, whose captain hasn't left his cabin in years, leaving the men directionless: Oona, who seemingly always wanted to be an ActionGirl, leads the pirates in a successful boarding of a merchant ship. When Oona mentions Dreamland, though, the pirate captain - an elf named Leavo - leaves the cabin, and orders the ship to turn to Dreamland.
12
13When Bean arrives at Dreamland, Zøg begins throwing stones (and Merkimer) at her, accusing her of being a traitor. Eventually, though, Bean manages to get through and apologize for trusting her mother, and father and daughter embrace - just as the pirate ship arrives, attacking Dreamland. Bean and Zøg go to the docks, where Oona shows them the Eternity Pendant, while Leavo demands the kingdom's riches in exchange of the pendant.
14
15Bean and Zøg concoct a plot to trap Leavo and use his blood to revive everyone that has been turned to stone, and while the pirates unsuccessfully try to find treasure, Leavo goes to explore the dungeons, as there seems to be something that interests him down there: Zøg sends Elfo with Leavo, telling him to knock the pirate out. However, when the time comes, Elfo - who considers Leavo a hero for how he was the first to leave Elfwood - fesses up. Leavo tells the king off for his plan, but gives him a second chance: if he comes with him to Elfwood and apologizes to the Elf King for how he sent his soldiers to attack the place, he will find a way to help everyone.
16
17The Elf King tries to have Zøg hanged (interrupting Zøg's attempts to apologize), but Leavo reveals to him that he has found something, the thing that prompted him to leave Elfwood. With these news, the Elf King leads all of the elves to live in Dreamland, helping to revive everyone. Leavo tells the pirates he is staying, and Oona (who has divorced Zøg and rescued Derek) replaces him, much to the pirates' joy. Oona offers Bean to join her crew, but she turns it down, as Dreamland needs her more.
18----
19!!Tropes:
20* AmicableExes: Now divorced, Zøg and Oona's relationship is actually much better, as they amicably part ways.
21* AndZoidberg: Zøg laments apparently killing Vip, but not Vap, which Bean calls him out on.
22* BehindTheBlack: As an example of how terrible the pirates are at pirating, Oona points out the wealthy merchant ship ''right next to them''.
23* BitchSlap: Oona delivers one to Zøg, which even Zøg admitted was fair.
24* BlatantLies: The Mermaids point the trio to the nearest boat they have, which still has a pair of skeletons in it. They nervously insisted they just found it like that.
25* CallBack:
26** Elfo, Luci and Bean turn out to have left Hell and came into Mermaid Island, first mentioned in the first season. When they sing, it truly resembles walruses.
27** The elf that is ruling the ship Oona finds herself in is Leavo, an elf mentioned way back in season one, when Elfo tried to leave.
28* CasualKink: Bean turns out to have a thing for earlobe-nibbling.
29* ContinuityNod:
30** Oona uses her snake root drug again.
31** Old Man Touchy is shown turned into stone on the dungeon.
32** There's no treasure around because of the Bozaks' raid in the previous episode.
33* DeathFromAbove: Zøg tries to do this to Bean and and her friends, due to him thinking she was still allied with Dagmar.
34* ForgivenButNotForgotten: While Elfo and Bean do patch things up, he makes it clear he hasn't actually ''forgiven'' her for resurrecting her mom in favor of him.
35* GrammarCorrectionGag: Luci tries correcting Elfo's pronunciation of "crossaints" as Zøg throws bread at them, only to get bonked in the face.
36* IndyPloy: Faced with a bunch of pirates demanding riches, Zog whispers to Bean they'll need to wing things "in a dangerously half-assed fashion".
37* MondegreenGag: The mermaids admit they were planning on eating Elfo all along, but his revival spoiled that. Elfo doesn't quite hear them properly because of the olives in his ears.
38* ReducedToRatburgers: Derek has spent the whole time stuck up in his room, and has been using rats as bait for birds.
39* TheReveal: We learn that the women who fished Elfo's body out of the ocean in the stinger of the season 1 finale were mermaids, and that there has been a five month TimeSkip since Elfo's death.
40* RunningGag: Bean revives the Jester solely so Zøg can drop him down another hole.
41* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: The pirates that rescue Oona haven't attacked another ship in years because their captain stays in his cabin. Oona easily convinces them to raid the first merchant ship they encounter, thus subverting the trope.
42* {{Unpaused}}: Everyone who's de-petrified resumes what they were saying as they were frozen. Odval was lamenting ever choosing to work in Dreamland.
