"Starcrushed" is the forty-first and final episode of the second season of Star vs. the Forces of Evil.[1]

It premiered on February 27, 2017, alongside "Face the Music".[2][3]

Synopsis[]

Hoping to help her forget about her strained friendship with Marco, Star's friends convince her to ditch the Diaz' end-of-the-school-year party for a more dangerous bash.[3]

Plot[]

The episode begins at the Diaz Household during a party to celebrate the end of the school year. While everyone else enjoys themselves, Marco and Star act awkward and desperately try to avoid each other due to the events of "Face the Music". Star calls Pony Head, Janna, Kelly, and StarFan13 to talk about her issues. After Ruberiot's song left Marco believing Star has a crush on him, Star denies the notion and says she just wants things to go back to normal between them. To help her, Star's friends suggest she ditch the party and go to another one being held by the "bad kids".

Meanwhile, at Ludo's monster temple, Queen Butterfly and the Magic High Commission storm inside and incapacitate Ludo's army of monsters. Upon finding Ludo in bed, the Commission seizes him, and Queen Moon takes possession of his wand. When asked where Glossaryck is, Ludo tells them that Glossaryck is gone, he doesn't remember anything after being shown the Magic Instruction Book's secret chapter, and his wand is now powerless. While the High Commission searches the temple for Glossaryck and the book, Moon stays behind to talk with Ludo, saying she recently went to see his family.

Back on Earth, Star and her friends join a raucous party on the roof of the Stop & Slurp. There, she meets up with Oskar Greason, who has shortened his hair. At the encouragement of her friends, Star stays to talk with Oskar. Through her talk with him, Star learns that Oskar dropped out of school to pursue his passion for music, and the two make a connection. Meanwhile, Marco confides in his father that things have gotten weird between him and Star, and Rafael suggests they simply talk it out.

At Ludo's monster temple, Ludo tells Queen Moon that, even after his troubled family life and losing his army and castle, he's still standing. However, Moon worries that won't be for much longer, considering his mental state. During the Commission's search for Glossaryck, Lekmet finds the book of spells, but its pages are blank, indicating that it's fake. When they return to Moon and Ludo, they find Moon unconscious and Toffee in control of Ludo's body again. Toffee forms a new right arm with Ludo's wand, embedding its green crystal into his palm. The Magic High Commission battles Toffee, but his power far exceeds theirs, and he absorbs the magic of Omnitraxus Prime, Hekapoo, and Rhombulus. Lekmet stays back to restore his fallen allies, but each time he does so, it drains his life force. When Lekmet uses the last of his power to revive Moon, his body turns to ashes.

Moon battles Toffee in her mewberty form, but he is still too powerful. After bringing the temple ceiling down on top of him, Moon collects the fallen High Commission members and Lekmet's remains and escapes through a dimensional portal. Just before she gets away, Toffee warns her that he'll be coming soon to collect his severed finger.

As the party at the Stop & Slurp draws the attention of police officers, Oskar tells Star that they should hang out over the summer, and Star accepts. She returns to the party at Marco's house to talk to him about what happened during Song Day. When Marco asks Star straight out if she has a crush on him, Star answers no, saying she just wants to have a fun summer with him as friends. Marco agrees with Star's sentiment, and they hug. Star goes to her bedroom and finds her mother Moon, who tells her that they are in danger and must leave for Mewni immediately. Star refuses at first, but when Moon informs her that Toffee has returned, Star realizes the gravity of the situation and asks for two minutes.

Going back downstairs, Star interrupts the party to speak with Marco again, with all of her friends and schoolmates listening. Star confesses that she does have a crush on him and didn't say anything hoping her feelings would go away. With this truth now in the open, Star adds that she has to leave Earth, possibly forever. With a tearful goodbye to her friends, Star runs back upstairs. When Marco follows her, he sees Star's bedroom loft and everything in it vanish into thin air, with the credits continuing to roll on the now-quiet house.
