This season, after successfully performing for the entire school in front of her idol, Millie Eyelash - and inadvertently releasing a horde of monsters previously imprisoned in the mirror realm - Vee and her gang return to Wilson Hall with new musical dreams, while trying to make sense of a prophecy that dictates Vee and Elijah can never be together.
