We all know what happened to Varian in the first season of "Tangled: The Series." He became the villain, was defeated by Rapunzel, and thrown into prison for a whole year. Yes, he redeemed himself and returned for the third season, but the lack of h...
Varian stares up at the moon as he waits for Misty to return. But when she doesn't come back after nearly twenty minutes, he isn't sure whether to feel concerned or irritated.
"She was so worried about being up here this long, I'll bet she just left me," Varian says to Ruddiger with a sigh. "And she kept my bandana! Looks like we're on our own again, buddy."
But as he attempts to devise a plan of what to do now, he hears a scream nearby. Could that be Misty? Startled, Varian abandons the driftwood and swims toward the scream. Ruddiger trails behind him, paddling as fast as he can to keep up.

Ruddiger rolls his eyes, but then spots a rope hanging above them, attached to the ship. He climbs up the side of the ship, and drops one end of the rope down to Varian.
"Great idea, Ruddiger!" Varian says. He climbs up the rope, relieved to finally be out of the water. But his relief is short-lived when he sees Ruddiger's nervous face, and remembers that they are climbing aboard a pirate ship...
