Sofia the First season 3 episode 26, titled "The Princess Prodigy," follows Princess Sofia as she discovers the hidden talents of her friend, Princess Jun, who has been feeling down after failing to excel in the things she loves.

As the episode begins, Princess Jun is frustrated with her inability to master any skill or activity that she tries. When Princess Sofia suggests that they visit Princess Jun's old kingdom of Galdiz, where she might be able to find something that she is good at, Princess Jun reluctantly agrees.

Upon arriving in Galdiz, the princesses meet with King Hector, who suggests that they participate in the Royal Jubilee, a festival celebrating the kingdom's finest talents in various areas like art, music, and sports. Despite her doubts, Princess Sofia encourages Princess Jun to sign up for the competition and explore her talents.

However, Princess Jun is not sure what her talent is and has a hard time deciding which competition she should enter. She tries her hand at painting but fails to create anything worthwhile. She then tries sports and music but finds that these activities aren't her forte. As the deadline for the competition nears, Princess Jun becomes more discouraged and decides to drop out.

Disappointed in herself, Princess Jun decides to leave the festival and return home. But Princess Sofia refuses to let her friend give up so easily and convinces her to stay. She suggests that Princess Jun can still participate in the Royal Jubilee by showcasing her unique personality and bring something different to the competition.

With Princess Sofia's help, Princess Jun creates a performance that highlights her talents and interests, such as her love for bugs and insects.
