and her family, Queen Grace and King Cole are going around the city waving at people. Queen Grace shows Snow White how to help peasants. In her room, Queen Grace quotes "Remember, the mirror tells half the story" as "beauty is given by helping others". Queen Graces coughs badly in front of Snow White and the king fears that Queen Grace had gotten ill. One day, Queen Grace dies as her hand falls as a sign that her heart had stopped and that she is dead.
Since Queen Grace died earlier when Snow White was young, she had never taught Snow White how to help peasants. Since then, Snow White turns into a misguided teenager who only likes to hang out with her friends: Goldilocks, Little Bo Peep
, and Red Riding Hood than help peasants instead. When Snow White visits an orphanage, she decides to go to a party instead. Her father tells her that she must return before morning. Snow White accepts but she has to wear the royal robe.
Although, in the party she takes it off and leaves it in the limo and also cuts in line. She meets this handsome man and she falls in love with him. Although, he doesn't seem to fall back in love because Snow White does not help like he does. When Snow White returns, her father seems to be upset because she did not wear the robe (he found out on the newspaper). Snow White weeps about him being unfair and runs to her room. Her father notices her misguided side and decides to find a wife like Queen Grace to show Snow White how to become a proper lady. His assistant goes to Fairy Godmother
for help where she begins a marriage service.
Meanwhile, Lady Vain goes to her magic mirror
and becomes into Queen Grace by the figures. She goes to the marriage service and the king accepts her not knowing that Lady Vain is truly a horrible scheming witch who wants to rule the kingdom. Snow White is a thorn to Lady Vain's sight and she wants Snow White to be gone from the kingdom. When Lady Vain has Rumpelstiltskin
(who seems to have for some reason become evil again, or it is not the same guy) give Snow White a fake make-over, they give her an apple that makes her say the rudest things she had ever thought to the whole town, including the king. Snow White wakes up not remembering what had happened or what she had said and decides to visit her friends.
The major gossip is around town forcing Snow White to leave and runs to the forest. She enters a house and eats and then falls asleep on seven small beds. When she wakes up, she finds the Seven Dwarfs
completely enrage of her coming inside without permission. One notices her to be Queen Grace's daughter and they make a plan to turn Snow White like her helping mother. Snow White agrees to do whatever the dwarfs tell her to do without questioning them or whining back. They go to help rebuilt the three little pigs
' homes after being blown by the big bad wolf. She also helps a lady to turn into the most beautiful woman ever. And she helps baby-sit her children.
During baby-sitting, Snow White sings to her children the same lullaby her mother used to sing to her when she was young and realizes that helping others makes her and them feel good. With that, she starts her own Snow White's Helping Business. The Seven Dwarfs are nowhere to be found after that. Meanwhile, at the kingdom everyone is excited to meet Lady Vain, who's wedding with the king will begin at midnight. She hires two bodyguards because she's "not used to be around with people". One of the body-guards finds out about Lady Vains' evil scheming of getting rid of Snow White forever and runs to the woods to find her.
