As she passes the masked creature, he offers her a heap of gold, but she refuses it.When Sen reaches Haku, a shikigami that stowed away on her back transforms into Zeniba, Yubaba's identical twin sister. Zeniba turns Yubaba's baby son Boh into a mouse and creates a decoy baby. Haku has stolen a magic gold seal from her, and she warns that it carries a deadly curse. Haku dives to the boiler room with Sen and Boh on his back. As they fall, Sen has a memory of being underwater. She feeds Haku part of the dumpling, and he vomits up the seal and a black slug that Sen crushes. She resolves to return the seal and apologize for Haku. Before she leaves, she confronts the masked creature, who is a monster named No-Face. No-Face has become disgustingly obese, so Sen feeds him the rest of the dumpling. He begins vomiting and angrily chases Sen out of the bathhouse. As he vomits, he returns to a normal size and a gentle demeanor.While Sen, No-Face, and Boh travel to Zeniba, Yubaba is furious at the damage caused by No-Face.

He proposes to return Boh in exchange for Yubaba freeing Sen and her parents.Sen, No-Face, and Boh arrive at Zeniba's house. Zeniba reveals that Sen's love for Haku broke her curse.

Giselle lives in "Andalasia", an animated fairy tale world devoid of problems, in which there are talking animals and "happy endings". Prince Edward, Giselle's designated "true love", saves her from the advances of a troll and they plan to get married the following day. Meanwhile, Queen Narissa, Edward's stepmother, schemes to protect the throne she currently occupies from Prince Edward before his marriage entitles him to become a king. The queen, disguised as an old hag, sends Giselle to New York City's Times Square, designating it as a "place where there are no happy endings".After a number of misadventures, including a minor car accident, an accidental subway ride with a crowd of people, and having her tiara stolen by a homeless man in the Bowery, Giselle runs into a brightly-lit billboard, featuring a huge pink castle, advertising "The Palace" casino. Mistaking the billboard image for an actual palace, Giselle attempts to enter the structure she perceives by climbing towards the image. However, Giselle falls and is rescued by Robert, a hardened, yet friendly, divorce lawyer. At the insistence of his daughter, Morgan, Robert lets Giselle stay at their apartment.Once Giselle is a resident at Robert's apartment, she revives the lifestyle of her home world and recruits urban animals pigeons, cockroaches and rats to do the housework while she fashions a dress out of the lawyer's curtains.

However, the plan fails when Giselle inadvertently throws the disguised apple in the air, lodging it in a cyclist's helmet where it singes a bald spot into his hair.
