"Starchy Takes a Break" is an episode that premiered on July 11, 2014 with "Sir Yipsalot and the Goose" on Disney XD.[2]

It is the tenth episode in the series.

Synopsis[]

After being sidelined by an injury, Lord Starchbottom grows concerned when Queen Delightful appoints Grumpy as his replacement.[3]

Plot[]

The 7D are busy polishing up the castle floor using the Super Slippery Floor Shiner at the castle so that Queen Delightful can skate on it, and the dwarfs themselves join in on the fun. Grumpy suggests that there should be a sign warning about the slippery floor just before Lord Starchbottom arrives with royal mail for the Queen and slips on the floor, sending him down several flights of stairs, effectively injuring his right leg. Feeling terrible about the whole situation, the Queen has an idea; Grumpy would take Starchy's place as Starchy takes a break and recovers from his injury at The 7D's cottage (despite his protests). While Grumpy relaxes and devours the food at the castle, Starchy's experience at The 7D's went south thanks to Doc's special bed for nursing that went haywire.

Starchy becomes increasingly fed up with staying at the dwarfs' cottage, so he sends them off to collect Jolly Berry for juice. After The 7D go out to get some, Starchy leaves while his right leg is still injured. He returns to the castle to find his belongings from his bedroom are being thrown into a cart headed for the dump by Grumpy and Delightful. Starchy is then led to believe that he's been fired and Grumpy is now the Queen's new personal assistant. Upset, he goes to the dump to retrieve his items, but he falls into the pit himself, breaking his other leg. He calls out for help, but immediately gives up, telling himself that he's useless.

The 7D learn that he's missing; and using one of Starchy's stinky socks, Dopey leads the dwarfs to the dump. Starchy laments that the Queen no longer wants him, but Grumpy reassures him that he and Delightful were simply redecorating his room to surprise him for when he comes back. The dwarfs form a human chain to lift Starchy out of the dump. Both of his legs snap back into place upon impact when he landed, and he happily thanks them. Back at the castle, Starchy is delighted that Grumpy and Delightful have done a good job on the redecorating (with his room repainted blue), and expresses gratitude to Queen Delightful by hugging her. Everything is back to normal—until Starchy once again slips on the polished floor. Happy replies that there should be a sign warning about a sign warning about the slippery floor.

Continuity[]

  • This episode marks the first time Squire Peckington himself doesn't make an appearance as well as not being on Delightful's crown for the entire episode.
  • This is one of the episodes the Glooms did not appear.

Trivia[]

  • Doc's torso is slightly larger than normal in some shots.
  • It is revealed what Queen Delightful wears underneath her dress: a blue shirt and light blue socks (although she most likely doesn't wear socks in most episodes).

Goofs[]

  • The Funnel Tunnels (which are used to transport Starchy from the castle) have six tubes in this episode instead of the usual seven (one for each of the 7D), shown in other episodes where it made its appearance in the Throne Room.
