lady tremaine
news promptly arrives by way of a royal proclamation that the prince will marry the girl whose foot fits the glass slipper accidentally left behind by cinderella at the ball. lady tremaine overhears cinderella dreamily humming the song "so this is love" as she heads to the attic, and realizes that she was the mysterious girl at the ball. hoping to pass off one of her daughters as the mysterious girl, lady tremaine follows cinderella up to the attic and locks her in her room, putting the key in her pocket. however, two of cinderella's mice friends, gus and jaq, steal the key from the stepmother's pocket (after lady tremaine almost boils gus in a tea cup) and succeed in returning the key to cinderella, who rushes downstairs to the grand duke just as he and the footman are about to leave. lady tremaine attempts to convince the duke that cinderella is merely a lowly scullery maid who did not even attend the ball. but the duke, who is required by the king's royal proclamation not to skip a single maiden in the kingdom on his quest for the mysterious girl the prince danced with, solemnly rebuffs lady tremaine. the duke also finds cinderella strikingly familiar to him. he proceeds to try the glass slipper on cinderella. in a last-ditch effort to foil cinderella's dreams, lady tremaine trips the footman bearing the glass slipper, causing it to smash. she deviously grins with wicked satisfaction as the duke wails in despair and fear of the king's reaction when he finds out that the slipper was broken. but cinderella still manages to come out on top by revealing that she has the other slipper, and that it fits her foot, proving that she is the girl who danced with prince charming, much to her stepmother's appalled horror. beyond a single brief close-up of her appalled face, the movie does not dwell on her defeat, how she and her daughters further reacted or what happened to them; instead there is only a quick resolution where cinderella is shown as the prince's happy bride, her stepfamily out of the picture.
