(What's more, the episode's plot has more than a few elements in common with the original fairy tale Literature/BeautyAndTheBeast, what with a father incurring a creature's wrath by stealing his prized flower, and said creature demanding the father's daughter in payment.)

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: At the start of the episode, the Sultan tells the gang the story of how on the night of his wedding to Jasmine's mother, [[DealWithTheDevil he made a promise to Arbutus that he would give him his most precious treasure in 20 years' time]], so the plant elemental wouldn't kill him for plucking a flower from his garden. And that night is the night that Arbutus will come to collect. Everyone does guard duty outside the treasure room, falling asleep. Meanwhile, the Sultan has a nightmare of his encounter with Arbutus, and wakes up with one name on his lips, as he realizes all too late what Arbutus is truly after.
-->'''The Sultan:''' Jasmine!\\
(''Cut to Aladdin and the others sleeping in the hall'')\\
'''The Sultan:''' (''offscreen'') JASMINE!\\
(''They all startle awake'')\\
'''Genie:''' Jasmine?\\
'''Aladdin:''' The most precious treasure!

A mysterious plant-man calling himself Arbutus, who the Sultan encountered in his youth, appears in Agrabah and insists on collecting upon an old debt. He was promised the Sultan's most "precious treasure". Which Arbutus took to mean, the Sultan's own daughter Jasmine.

!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
* AttentionWhore: Arbutus considers himself a [[MadArtist master artist]] and one of the reasons he keeps Jasmine captive. Is so he can have someone around to admire and critic his "art".
* BerserkButton: Whenever a plant his harmed in his presence, Arbutus goes ballistic.
* BittersweetEnding: Jasmine is rescued, but Arbutus' beautiful garden withers away upon his death. Though after Aladdin and the others plant the rose that represented Arbutus heart, the rose perks up. Possibly indicating Arbutus may be reborn someday.
* DefiantCaptive: Jasmine, being kidnapped by a PlantPerson in the middle of the night does not make her very inclined to stick around and be treated like just another part of Arbutus' "art pieces".
* DisproportionateRetribution: While Arbutus had every right to be upset over the Sultan trespassing and damaging some of his plants (whom he treats as his ''children''). Frightening the poor man, then kidnapping his daughter is rather extreme.
* MoralMyopia: Arbutus inability to see humans and any "non" plant creature any differently than "they" see most non-sentient plants. Comparing someone taking a flower and placing it in a vase as tantamount to killing a human.
* MotiveRant: Arbutus goes into a speech to Jasmine, after seeming to simply be a monstrous PlantPerson with a love of creating art, furious at the Sultan [[MadArtist for no reason other than picking a flower]]. To her credit, Jasmine quickly realizes Arbutus anger is not without [[VillainHasAPoint reason]].
-->'''Arbutus''': (''having created a new patch of garden'') Well Princess? Care to critique my art now?

--> '''Jasmine''': It's not that simple!
--> '''Arbutus''': Indeed. You ''burn them''. For warmth! Creating smoke to block our life-giving sun! (''sweeps his arms out, shadowing the garden'')
--> '''Jasmine''': We don't do that on purpose!

--> '''Jasmine''': Arbutus, I... (''Arbutus sadly regards the flower he grew'') I think I understand.
