"The Lightning Warrior" is the seventy-second episode of the Disney Channel animated series Elena of Avalor.

Plot[]

At Avalor Palace, Elena is practicing using her Scepter left-handed. Suddenly, Quita Moz shows up and tells Elena she can prepare for what Esteban and Ash are planning by releasing Ixlan the Lightning Warrior. However, she needs a Malvago to set her free. Naomi suggests Victor and Carla. Elena doesn't want their help because of everything they did. Mateo and Naomi tell her there's no choice and that people can change. Quita Moz tells Elena you never know you can trust someone until you do so. On the boat ride, Elena tries to prepare lunch, but fails due to the cast on her arm. The Delgados offer to help, and are temporarily freed by Elena. As they cook, they sing of times 'Way Back When'

They arrive on La Isla de Yalcatura. Victor and Carla free Ixlan, who is unimpressed with Elena. Ixlan asks them how they got past the Moyacu which guards the island. Victor spots something in the water. However, Elena refuses to believe him. What Victor saw turns out to be the Moyacu itself, who swallows Victor, Carla, Elena, Naomi and Ixlan whole.

Victor asks Elena to give him and Carla their tamboritas so they can escape the Moyacu, but Elena refuses due to the fact she still doesn't trust them. Victor tries to get them out by making the Moyacu sneeze with pepper. However, this only gets Victor blown out through its spout. Carla blames Elena for this disaster. Elena voices her distrust. Naomi reminds Elena of what Quita Moz said about trust, even with your enemies who have seen the error of their ways and want to repent. Elena decides to trust Carla and Victor. Then Carla and Victor free themselves, Elena, Naomi and Ixlan from the Moyacu. Carla and Victor apologize to Elena. Then Quita Moz gives Ixlan her gloves. Elena also finally takes off her cast as she sees Mateo undoing the Malvago spell on Carla and Victor.
