The overall plot also involves Dr. Facilier and Shan Yu, but "Yzma Gothel"'s basic plot is that she is Rapunzel and her brother's caregiver. She wants to take over the kingdom, so she tricks Rapunzel into swimming in the stream. Rapunzel's brother dives in to save her, throws her ashore, and grabs onto a branch, then Yzma snaps the branch and drowns him. (She's kind of a tragic villain though, she was being manipulated by Dr. Facilier, but that's rather unimportant.) Then we have the events of The Tower, and then Rapunzel returns and becomes queen, and declares her beloved "Mother Gothel" her chief advisor. Yzma manipulates her and makes her seem like a bad queen, but Rapunzel doesn't know that everyone hates her because she isn't allowed out of the castle. When the second dark curse is cast, Yzma casts a protection spell (which she learned by Facilier) and the kingdom immediately decides she is a better queen than Rapunzel. Then we have some episode plots involving Yzma, Facilier, and Shan Yu ruling over the Enchanted Forest with Mulan being in charge of a rebellion.

That's it.
