Due to their influence, the Stabbingtons indirectly teach Eugene to be much more selfless.

The events of the past are slightly muddled for them however as Rapunzel and Pascal had traveled back in time due to a magical hourglass that also allowed them to take over their bodies. In 'No Time Like the Past', the Stabbington Brothers are revealed to have known Eugene and Lance Strongbow since they were teenagers and it is implied that they were the ones to induct them into a life of thievery. The two are surprised that Eugene would do such a thing despite their animosity towards him, implying that this act is what causes them to reform. This time, they kidnap Eugene's father, King Edmund, but are once again defeated, but then rescued by Eugene. Due to their constant defeats, the Stabbington Brothers start to be viewed as jokes by the criminal community and once again plot to kill Eugene. Together, they try to kill Eugene and Maximus after they accidentally end up on their ship, but Rapunzel and her allies arrive and defeat them. They next appear on a prison ship alongside other criminals that Rapunzel and Eugene have faced in the past.

They once again try to get their revenge on Eugene, this time with Cassandra also caught in the middle, but are defeated and reimprisoned. The Stabbington Brothers appear in Tangled: The Series, which chronologically takes before Tangled Forever After.

They briefly appear in Tangled Forever After where they have apparently reformed, though still imprisoned, and are in attendance of Eugene and Rapunzel's wedding, bawling during the reception. She of course betrays the two and they are captured once again. They manage to escape and plot revenge, only to run into Mother Gothel who hires the two of them to not only get back at Eugene, but also to get Rapunzel. Eugene betrays the two and they are captured by the royal guards. They first appear in Tangled having teamed up with Flynn Rider (Eugene Fitzherbert) to steal the royal tiara from Corona. While both are credited, only Sideburns actually speaks while Patchy is silent. As their names imply, one has noticeable sideburns and wears a green tunic and leather arm bands while one has an eye patch and black leather tunic with long sleeves. They are recognized by their tall intimidating appearances, scarred features and orange hair. Sideburns and Patchy Stabbington are unrelenting twin criminals.
