Back at the Den of Knights, everyone was surrounding Marco, angry at him for not choosing a lifelong post, since he already kneeled for the queen. Marco explained despite being honored he didn't think staying as a knight for the rest of his life, but Old Guy made it clear he's throwing off a legacy, one that every knight made for generations. Sir Stabby threatened him to choose a lifelong post, or they will force him to choose one. Sir Crandles came by to clear it up, to prevent resorting to hurting Marco, by reading the knight's handbook, to find the rule on this turn of events. He finds that Sir Stabby was following the rule: they had to torture Marco.

At the Monster temple, Eclipsa was teaching [[Meteora Butterfly|Meteora]] how to talk through flashcards, while a somewhat panicking Star was explained about finding Marco's cornplex bar unfinished. Odd, since it's his favorite guilty pleasure snack, and unlikely would just leave it. Eclipsa thinks that Star might be over-thinking about the situation. Assuming he's in danger, Star suits up in her armor, then realizes that she's overreacting, and decides to give Marco some personal space.

Back in the Den of Knights, Marco was tied to a chair, and having his foot be tickled by Sir Crandle's ponytail. They knight, per the rules, order him to accept a lifelong post, or he would be locked in the dungeon for all eternity. Since the torture was going nowhere, Marco insisted he should just leave, but Sir Crandle asked why he can't pick a post to be in. Marco tries to explain that there is more in life than to be only one thing. Despite this "lecture", Higgs asks what him has he done in his life. He then reminded everyone that he helped save Mewni from the [[Conquer|attack of Meteora]], and mentioned events he lived through in the Neverzone. The Neverzone got many of the knights interested, the danger alluring. Angered by Marco's decision, Sir Stabby furiously pushed that if he didn't want to be a knight, then he'll take Marco's cape Star made for him, and burn it in Dragon Noodle's mouth. Marco, instantly furious with a cold rage, threatened to bash Stabby's face against every surface in the room, and wake up in the belly of the dragon.

Sir Stabby, not taking him seriously, dropped the cape in. Marco smashes the chair and kicked a piece into Sir Stabby's face, and leapt into the cape, donning it. Soon the other knights surround and attack him, but Marco, with his arms still tied, defeats the with dodges and kicks. They were all swiftly defeated, and Marco made good on the threat he promised Stabby, ending by throwing face first into the dragons stomach. Marco then unties himself, sarcartically calling the encounter "fun".

Sir Crandles surrenders, and accepts the decision Marco has made, but still asks why he wants to leave being a knight, as it should've been his proudest achievement. Higgs stubbornly believes that Marco, with his relationship with Star and training in the Neverzone, thinks he's too good to be a knight. Marco tells them that if they had at least tried to see the world from another's different point of view, nothing would have happened. Done with the stubbornness, Marco opened a portal to the Neverzone for the knights. He tried to give out a warning about the timeline, but the new knights are too excited to hear, running inside the portal. Higgs then returned out of the portal after a few seconds, believing herself to be buffer than she was before, only for Marco to infor her of the time differences. Upon that discovery, Higgs decides to live there permanently, as there is nothing for her on Mewni anymore.

Synopsis

Star and Marco have to make some decisions about the future.

Plot

At the Monster Temple, Queen Eclipsa has thrown a knighting ceremony, where all the squires, including Marco, have finally been escorted to become knights. Star congratulated Marco and gives him a new knights cape she made for him, with patches representing an event they did together. She even plans to sew in his last one once he gets his lifelong post from Sir Crandle (who looks more as a doppelgänger of Mr. Candle).

In Sir Crandle's office, he handed out flyers of lifelong posts that Marco can choose from to be a knight for the rest of his life, and Marco decides to decline the offer. Marco returned back to Star's bedroom, to tell Star that he has to quit being a knight. He logically states that he cannot live on Mewni for too long since he has a baby brother coming, and he needs to start thinking about college. Star felt a little upset since she knows it's obvious that he won't stay in Mewni forever, even making it awkward for Marco by calling him a quitter, and leaves the conversation after receiving a phone call.

Marco then went to the kitchen, feeling guilty for hurting Star's feelings, but knowing that he had to be honest with her. He tries to discuss it with Manfred, who is still turned into stone from "Yada Yada Berries", before realizing that he's talking to a statue. He stress eats a cornplex bar, figuring that he should go find her and try to smooth things over. Then out of nowhere, Marco was covered by a burlap sack and kidnapped. He later found himself along with the other new knights, such as Higgs and Sir Cuddles, to be in the den of knights for a Knight Out Party. Hosted by their own respective knights, (minus Marco) to celebrate their squires lifelong post that they have chosen to be a knight of. Sir Cuddles eventually asked what Marco what position he chose, but Marco confessed that he quit, leaving everyone to be shocked.
