| − | At the Monster Temple, |
+ | At the Monster Temple, [[Eclipsa Butterfly|Queen Eclipsa]] holds a knighting ceremony where several squires of the kingdom, including [[Marco Diaz|Marco]], are promoted to knighthood. [[Star Butterfly|Star]] congratulates Marco and gives him a new knight's cape, with each sewn-in patch representing one of their past adventures and the last patch to be sewn in after he receives his lifelong post by Sir Crandle (a doppelganger of [[Mr. Candle]]). Crandle tells Marco that the knight duty he chooses will be for the rest of his life. Later, in Star's bedroom, Marco tells Star that he can't be a knight and live on [[Mewni]] for the rest of his life, having plans for college and a baby brother on the way. Though obviously hurt by this announcement, Star understands Marco's decision, but offhandedly calls him a quitter, and quickly leaves the room. |
| + | Marco vents about his problems to [[Manfred]] (still frozen in stone since "[[Yada Yada Berries]]") while eating a candy bar, when suddenly he is abducted in a burlap sack. He and his fellow new knights, including [[Higgs]], are taken to the Den of Knights for their inaugural "Knight Out Party" to officially welcome them to knighthood and celebrate the lifelong posts they've chosen. Marco confesses, however, that he did not choose a post and is quitting being a knight. The other knights are shocked by this and view Marco's abandonment of knighthood as an insult to generations of knight history, and Sir Stabby threatens him with torture (which Sir Crandle allows) unless he chooses a lifelong post. |
||
| − | 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 for Marco's decision, he declined the offer. Marco returned back to Star's bedroom, to even tell Star that he has to quit being a knight. for the reason that he won't be living in Mewni for too long since he has a baby brother coming, or to start thinking about setting up for 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 to be considered a quitter, and leaves the conversation after receiving a phone call. |
||
| + | Meanwhile, Star vents about her problems to Manfred as well and finds Marco's unfinished candy bar on the floor. Reasoning that Marco is the only one who eats this brand of candy bar and would never leave one half-eaten, she fears something bad happened to him. When Star shares her discovery with Eclipsa, Eclipsa thinks she is worrying too much. Afraid that Marco is in danger, Star suits up in armor and prepares to go looking for him, but at the last second she realizes she's overreacting and decides to give Marco some space. |
||
| − | Marco then went to the kitchen, feeling guilty for hurting Star's feelings. Even trying to discuss it with [[Manfred]], who is still turned into stone from "[[Yada Yada Berries]]", and stress eating a cornplex bar, rethinking that he should go find her and return to the conversation. Then out of nowhere, Marco was covered in a burlap sack over his head and was being 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 knights, to celebrate their squires lifelong post that they have chosen to be a knight of. Sir Cuddles even asked what Marco has chosen, but Marco confessed that he quits leaving everyone to be shocked. |
||
| + | Back at the Den of Knights, Marco is tied to a chair and tickle-tortured until he chooses a lifelong post. Marco tells the other knights that there is more to life than being just one thing and mentions his various accomplishments from before he was knighted, such as helping defeat [[Meteora Butterfly|Meteora]] and surviving for years in the treacherous Neverzone. Enraged by Marco's decision, Sir Stabby threatens to destroy the knight's cape that Star made for him. This pushes Marco over the edge; not only does he free himself from the chair he was tied to and recover his cape, but he also beats up Sir Stabby and every other knight in the room with his arms tied. |
||
| − | Meanwhile, Star was in the kitchen stressed eating Captian Blanchers Sugar Seeds cereal, having the same discussion with the statued Manfred. Thinking she should resume back to talking with Marco when she found his unfinished cornplex bar on the ground, leaving a clue for her since she knows that Marco would be the only one to always eat them, and would never leave them half-eaten. |
||
| + | Sir Crandle questions Marco's refusal of what should be his proudest achievement, and Higgs accuses him of thinking he's too good for knighthood. Fed up with the others' inability to see his point of view, Marco opens a [[Dimensional portal|portal]] to the Neverzone and welcomes them to try it for themselves. After going into the Neverzone and spending several years training there, Higgs returns, but upon discovering she doesn't retain her muscles because of the time difference, she goes back to live there permanently. |
||
| − | Back at the Den of Knights, everyone was surrounding Marco, to even be angry for not choosing a lifelong post, since he already kneeled for the queen. Marco explained despite being honored he didn't think of ever stay as a knight for the rest of his life, but Old Guy made it clear he's throwing off a legacy, that every knight made for generations. Even Sir Stabby even threatened him to make him chose a lifelong post or they will force to choose one for him. Then Sir Crandles came by to clear it up, to not resort into hurting Marco by reading the knight's handbook, to even find that Sir Stabby was doing the right thing, resuming to do some torture on Marco. |
||
| + | A little while later, Marco finds Star watching the sunrise on the roof of her tower. She apologizes for being awkward the day before about his decision to go back to [[Earth]]. Marco says they still have some time before he leaves, and he promises to visit Star all the time after he goes back home. He even gives Star a cape similar to the one she made for him, and says even though he's going back to Earth, it doesn't mean they can't go on more adventures together. Thanking him, Star puts the cape on, the patchwork on their capes forming a heart shape. |
||
| − | At the Monster temple, Eclipsa in which was teaching [[Meteora Butterfly|Meteora]] how to talk through flashcards, Star was explaining about finding his cornplex bar to be unfinished since it's his favorite guilty pleasure snack, and it's unlikely he would stop eating it. Eclipsa thinks that Star might be over-thinking about the situation. Assuming he's in danger, Star then suited herself up in armor to then come to realize that now she's overreacting, and decided to give him some personal space. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Returning to the Den of Knights, Marco was tied up to a chair and was being tortured to have his foot be tickled by Sir Crandle's ponytail in order for him to make him accept his lifelong post or he will be in the dungeon for all eternity. Since their ways of torture were going nowhere, Marco insisted he should just leave, but Sir Crandle asked why can't he picked a post to be in. Marco explained there is more in life, then to be only one thing. Despite giving out lecture, Higgs asked what has he done in his life. He then told everyone that he helped save Mewni from the [[Conquer|attack of Meteora]], and all the listed events he did in the Neverzone, which what really got everyone interested to even go too. Putting up with Marco's antics, Sir Stabby made the point that he doesn't want to be a knight, then he'll take Marco's cape Star made for him, and burn it into the Dragon Noodle's mouth. But Marco stepped in to not let that happen to his cape, even to threaten him hurt his face to every surface of the room to even wake up being on the belly of the dragon. |

| − | |||
| − | Sir Stabby didn't listen and dropped the cape in. Marco then smashes the chair and kicked the piece to Sir Stabby's face, and flew into the cape now wearing it. Soon the other knights went out to attack, but Marco dodges their attack with his arms still tied up. Soon they were all defeated, even to give the threat he promised to Stabby. Marco then manage to get himself untied and proposed to leave, Sir Crandles still asked why he wants to leave being a knight since it should've been his proudest achievement. Higgs believed that he thinks he's too good to be a knight. Marco then told them to at least think to see the world in a different point a view, and even opened a portal to the Neverzone. He tried to give out a warning about the timeline, but the new knights just ignored him and all ran inside the portal. Higgs then returned out of the portal after a few seconds believing to still be stronger as she was before, only realizing everything reverts back to normal so she decides to live there permanently, as there is nothing for her in Mewni anymore. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Marco returned back to the temple end up finding Star watching the sunrise on the top of her tower. Star apologized for what she said since she knows things are going to be weird without him. Marco said there is still some time for them before he has to leave, even promising to even visit all the time. He even gave a cape he made for Star to remember him by, even if he's not around. Even though he's going back to earth, it doesn't mean they can't go on more adventures, since the lifelong post he chooses for Mewni is their friendship. |

"The Knight Shift" is the eighteenth episode of the fourth season of Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
It premiered on April 14, 2019 alongside "Queen-Napped".
Synopsis
Star and Marco have to make some decisions about the future.
Plot
At the Monster Temple, Queen Eclipsa holds a knighting ceremony where several squires of the kingdom, including Marco, are promoted to knighthood. Star congratulates Marco and gives him a new knight's cape, with each sewn-in patch representing one of their past adventures and the last patch to be sewn in after he receives his lifelong post by Sir Crandle (a doppelganger of Mr. Candle). Crandle tells Marco that the knight duty he chooses will be for the rest of his life. Later, in Star's bedroom, Marco tells Star that he can't be a knight and live on Mewni for the rest of his life, having plans for college and a baby brother on the way. Though obviously hurt by this announcement, Star understands Marco's decision, but offhandedly calls him a quitter, and quickly leaves the room.
Marco vents about his problems to Manfred (still frozen in stone since "Yada Yada Berries") while eating a candy bar, when suddenly he is abducted in a burlap sack. He and his fellow new knights, including Higgs, are taken to the Den of Knights for their inaugural "Knight Out Party" to officially welcome them to knighthood and celebrate the lifelong posts they've chosen. Marco confesses, however, that he did not choose a post and is quitting being a knight. The other knights are shocked by this and view Marco's abandonment of knighthood as an insult to generations of knight history, and Sir Stabby threatens him with torture (which Sir Crandle allows) unless he chooses a lifelong post.
Meanwhile, Star vents about her problems to Manfred as well and finds Marco's unfinished candy bar on the floor. Reasoning that Marco is the only one who eats this brand of candy bar and would never leave one half-eaten, she fears something bad happened to him. When Star shares her discovery with Eclipsa, Eclipsa thinks she is worrying too much. Afraid that Marco is in danger, Star suits up in armor and prepares to go looking for him, but at the last second she realizes she's overreacting and decides to give Marco some space.
Back at the Den of Knights, Marco is tied to a chair and tickle-tortured until he chooses a lifelong post. Marco tells the other knights that there is more to life than being just one thing and mentions his various accomplishments from before he was knighted, such as helping defeat Meteora and surviving for years in the treacherous Neverzone. Enraged by Marco's decision, Sir Stabby threatens to destroy the knight's cape that Star made for him. This pushes Marco over the edge; not only does he free himself from the chair he was tied to and recover his cape, but he also beats up Sir Stabby and every other knight in the room with his arms tied.
Sir Crandle questions Marco's refusal of what should be his proudest achievement, and Higgs accuses him of thinking he's too good for knighthood. Fed up with the others' inability to see his point of view, Marco opens a portal to the Neverzone and welcomes them to try it for themselves. After going into the Neverzone and spending several years training there, Higgs returns, but upon discovering she doesn't retain her muscles because of the time difference, she goes back to live there permanently.

He even gives Star a cape similar to the one she made for him, and says even though he's going back to Earth, it doesn't mean they can't go on more adventures together. Thanking him, Star puts the cape on, the patchwork on their capes forming a heart shape.
