Synopsis
Happily-ever-after continues for Auradon's power couple, Mal and Ben, as they prepare to say "I do" at an epic celebration with their friends and family, but Hades threatens to ruin it all.

Plot
Mal goes to great lengths to make sure Hades does not ruin her wedding.

Hades reveals that he accidentally caused the commotion by trying to keep Dude away from Maleficent. This caused his hair to light a tapestry on fire, forcing him to put it out (and douse Chad Charming for a laugh). He then fled back home to ensure what was left of Mal's special day wasn't ruined by him.
