Corrected entry: Ella must do as she's told, but during the scene after her step-sister makes her shoplift, Ella's stepmother orders her to tell the truth AFTER the step-sister told her to lie. So why did Ella ONLY tell the lie? She should also have been forced to tell the truth, since her step-mother ordered her to.

Correction: Ella's stepmother doesn't order her to tell the truth. She orders her to say who did it. The curse would have made Ella keep a previous command unless it was contradicted by a newer one. Since her step-mother's command doesn't directly contradict Hattie's order to say that it was her friend's fault, she would have had to obey both commands and tell that it was her friend who told her to steal.
