Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders: Episode List

1- "Jewel Quest"
Airdate: September 10, 1995

Somewhere within the Great Forests, the evil Lady Kale discovers a Wild Magic portal containing a mysterious magic jewel. She claims and tunes it to herself, bonding with her two dweasels that detected it. Now equipped with the immense power of her newly-dubbed Dark Stone, Kale is finally ready to take over Avalon by force. At the Friendship Ring, the great wizard Merlin is preparing Princess Gwenevere for her upcoming Circle of Friendship ceremony. He explains that in order to wield the Sun Stone and become a Jewel Rider, Gwenevere must bond with a magical animal. Fallon and Tamara already have their Enchanted Jewels and animal special friends. The lesson is interrupted by his hawk animal servant, who tells Merlin that trouble is brewing in the forests.

Meanwhile, a uniquely winged unicorn named Sunstar tries to play ball with some other unicorns. She gets teased for having wings and yet not being able to fly. Her father comes to Sunstar and tries to reassure her. Merlin arrives to save a doe trapped in a wild magic bubble, but this turns out to be a bait and he gets trapped in a magic bubble by Lady Kale's Dark Stone. The evil princess confronts him and demands the key to the Jewel Box, which contains the Crown Jewels of Avalon, so she can forever rule all of Avalon. Merlin pretends to give up to her threats, but at the last moment the hawk from earlier is summoned and steals it away. Kale is furious. She blasts the defiant wizard (still in the bubble) into the dangerous Wild Magic for him to perish there, and goes after the hawk.

At the Crystal Palace, Gwenevere, the other Jewel Riders, and Drake of the Pack are summoned by King Jared and Queen Anya to the throne room and learn about a mysterious threat to the kingdom. The girls decide to check out Merlin's house and find it totally ransacked. They find Merlin's talking owl Archie, who tells them that someone stole the Jewel Box, and so the girls ride off with him in the Crystal Carriage (along with Fallon on Moondance) to find it.

After a long aerial chase, Kale's dragon Grimm fire breath nearly fries the hawk, who crash-lands in a forest. Sunstar, who just happened to be walking nearby, is tasked with taking the key to the Crystal Palace. She does not run very far and soon Kale catches up and traps her in a net. But Kale cannot take the key from Sunstar's horn as it burns her hands. After a ride through the Wild Magic via the Travel Trees, the girls find Kale torturing Sunstar. They rush to attack and Fallon brings down Kale's Dragon Wagon before she can fly away with Sunstar. As Fallon takes on Kale in a magic duel to protect Gwen, Gwen manages to sneak the key from the imprisoned Sunstar but then is attacked by the dweaels. Tamara and Archie save her, and then Tamara runs to aid Fallon in fighting the witch. But even their combined magic is too weak against the powerful Dark Stone. Just as Kale is about to prevail, Spike (one of Tamara's baby animals) bravely throws himself to shield Tamara and is blasted down. In the chaos that ensues, Kale escapes into the Wild Magic with the stolen Jewel Box and the captive unicorn...
