Evie... I'm so sorry. I'm sorry, I just... I thought that... I was afraid to tell you. I thought I was gonna lose my best friend. But I had to do something! I had to protect Auradon!

Closing the barrier was your idea?

I did it for us! I did it for our life that we have here now!

For our life?! What about the kids that we left behind on that island? The kids that we promised... (Tearfully) we were their only hope. I thought you were gonna stand up for the V.Ks... but instead, you lied to them. And you lied to Jay... and you lied to Carlos... and you lied to me. We're your family.

(Mal looks close to tears as Evie, Carols and Jay turn away from her, angry and disappointed. Mal becomes more upset and tries to appeal to them.)

Evie. Evie, come on! I had no choice!
