Dream Girls is the fourth episode in the Skylanders Academy television series.
Synopsis
Stealth Elf is chosen to give a speech to the entire academy, but first she has to figure out why everyone is suddenly terrified of sheep.
Story
The episode starts once again in the Academy's Training Islands, where Team Spyro is doing an obstacle course in view of Master Eon, Hex, Chill, Flashwing and the floating head Dreamcatcher. Though Stealth Elf's agility is complimented by Master Eon as she dodges spinning hazards and retractable walls, the others clumsily advance and are repeatedly stopped by the hazards, and are far behind when she arrives at the goal. Impressed by her performance, the Headmaster congratulates Stealth Elf and announces that she has been chosen for the next Skills, Elements and Defense Talk, in hopes that she would have something valuable to teach the other cadets; and though the elf ninja can barely respond in the middle of shortened breaths, he dismisses the class and leaves. Unknown to him, however, Dreamcatcher suddenly opens her real eyes under the painted ones, revealing that she slept through the entire class to no one but Hex, who is briefly surprised.
When the team is left alone, Spyro and Eruptor congratulate her on being chosen for the SED talk, though Jet-Vac expresses his disappointment in not being chosen despite his age. Pop Fizz dismisses his frustration, observing that a lot of previous Skylanders chosen wore prosthetics, and Jet-Vac muses about losing his tail to gain the honor, prompting Stealth Elf to respond that these heroes actually lost limbs in great battles, and she had no such experience. Before she can continue, however, Hugo appears behind some of the island's hazards being chased by a sheep, confusing Stealth Elf as his yelling was "louder than usual". Though the others don't share her concern, they note that his desperate yells at the sheep before running away have gotten more elaborate.
The next day, Stealth Elf is greeted by the rest of Team Spyro in the main classroom, while unloading her arsenal of throwing weapons at a target mounted at the blackboard, having stayed up all night planning her SED talk. Though the male Skylanders don't get the point of her target practice, Spyro and Eruptor are sure of her upcoming sucess at the talk, enough to have invited all of their acquaintances and even random people they don't actually know. Unaware of the elf's increasing anxiety, the group goes on about their compliments, confident enough that she will give a great performance in her once-in-a-lifetime chance. Before she can question them, however, a sheep wanders into the classroom, startling Spyro and Eruptor into hiding behind her. Though Stealth Elf is unfazed and leads the sheep away from them, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz also show irrational fear near the animals, and despite their warnings to stay focused on her presentation, Stealth Elf is convinced that she needs to look further into the issue.
Elsewhere, at Kaos' Guest Castle, Glumshanks is in a phone call with an unknown character about a musical concert, until Kaos' assault on the tower's door has him end the conversation to talk with him. He reminds the sorcerer that Kaossandra locked the doors and ordered him not to leave, but Kaos' frustration over his attempt to get a job convinced him to look for a way out, even if his rant at Skylanders Academy revealed to the Skylanders that he is looking for the Core of Light and he is now being hunted down. The troll reminds him that the whole fortress had to move already several times so he alone could avoid capture, and Kaos retorts that being arrested is a better course of action than being holed up in the castle, as if grounded. When Glumshanks agrees with that notion, however, Kaos is angered enough to stuff his beaten Lizard Gizzard costume into the room's oven so the troll could eat it as punshment; and while the clothes were baked, he argues that being on the run means he is a legitimate threat to Skylands. Eating the outfit-cake against his will, Glumshanks calms his master down while he rants by saying that the Core wouldn't move in the meantime, though unknown to him it already has, and proposes to the sorcerer to rearrange his collection of figurines and wait until Kaossandra forgets about the issue, before monologuing under his breath that it would be enough to keep his master busy for the time being. Though Kaos nearly overhears his real intentions, Glumshanks backpedals into saying that he heard about that method on the Internet, and the sorcerer accepts the proposal.
Elsewhere, Stealth Elf starts her investigation at the Academy courtyard, carrying a sheep and seeing its visage scare cadets, Skylanders and staff alike into hiding. Using her phone to record her findings, she turns to random passerby to observe the reaction, and the nearby cadets run away quickly - with the exception of Dreamcatcher, who at first just stares back blankly before running away. The elf continues her research at the main classroom, calling various characters to explain their fear of Sheep: though the cadet Roller Brawl and Spyro find odd reasons to explain their newfound phobia, Eruptor is still focused on the SED Talk, briefly scaring Stealth Elf herself with a large poster they made for her event. Her next question to Jet-Vac, Dreamcatcher and Pop Fizz is about the time they figured out their fear: Jet-Vac explains it was after waking up the previous day, while Dreamcatcher absentmindedly answers and insists to leave, and Pop Fizz ends up continuing their answers and going back to the previous question about the scary parts of sheep. Stealth Elf thanks them, somewhat frustrated, and returns home to continue her investigation at night.

Continuity
- This is the first time Kaossandra's name is spoken.
- Glumshanks is forced by Kaos to eat the Uncle Merle's Lizard Gizzard mascot outfit, which Kaos recieved and used in My Way or the Sky Way.
- Kaos' room decoration hints the appearance of the Doom Raiders in the following episode, from the Golden Queen fanart and photos to the various figurines of the show's villains.
Errors & Mistakes
- Three identical pictures of sheep and two identical pictures of Eruptor can be seen in Stealth Elf's wall.
- Kaos' robe clips through stairs at several points.
- Eon's robe floats above the steps to the classroom at the start of the SED talk.
Trivia
- Eruptor points out that Stealth Elf doesn't have pupils in her eyes.
- Stealth Elf mentions three past Skylanders who have done SED talk before her, these being Cobalt the Brave, Sharon the Victorious and Edwin the Meek At First but Eventually Brave and Victorious.
- Other Skylanders also mention that other Skylanders that had given SED talks entered battles great enough to lose limbs or other body parts.
- When Spyro explained how he got his name, he said "he never heard from "Gyra" again". This is probably a reference to the jazz band, Spyro Gyra.
