History Recap / AmphibiaS3E03TurningPoint

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Olivia and Yunan's expressions ''scream'' this when Andrias turns his attention to them when they're trying to sneak out the throne room, having little choice but to proclaim their loyalty to him for now because they have no other way off the OminousFloatingCastle and Andrias has them surrounded by his MechaMooks

* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Andrias grimly asks Olivia and Yunan if they're still with him. The two newts nervously assure their allegiance to the dark king, knowing their heads are on the chopping block if they try to fight him alone or even disagree with him.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: A frustrated Sasha is already overwhelmed by the friendly Wartwood villagers, and finally snaps at Maddie to leave her alone and runs away. Maddie thinks that she did this because she doesn't want extra carbs.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The fourth episode altogether that centers on Sasha, Grime and the Toads.

* ShoutOut: The smaller green robot drones resemble [[Anime/DragonBallZ Saibamen]], right down to swarming their opponents.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The Golden Boss is designed after a Surinsm toad, seeing as how it summons smaller MechaMooks through holes in its back.

* EyeScream: During the Townspeople's attack on the MechaMooks, Loggle does this to disable several of them
-->'''Mrs Croaker:''' ''(After Loggle rips out the eye from the Golden Boss' inert shell)'' I think [[BloodKnight you're enjoying this too much]]

* FreezeFrameBonus: After Marcy uses the Box to send Anne and the Plantars to Earth, when Andrias picks it up it seems that at least one gem is drained of color again.

* HourglassPlot: In a reversal of “Toadcatcher”, Sasha is the depressed one as she’s forced to face the consequences of her actions, while Grime is the one who constantly tells her to snap out of it if they want a fighting chance.

* NoNonsenseNemesis: Andrias again proves himself as this, sending the robotic equivalent of an ''armoured tank'' equipped with a battalion of soldiers to hunt down Sasha and Grime once their location has been identified, despite the pair of them basically being just two commanders on their own without any available forces to seriously counteract his plans. Despite being extremely capable combatants, Sasha was seconds from getting killed by the golden boss' ordinance before [[BigDamnHeroes Grime saved her]], and the pair of them aren't even able to directly hurt the massive machine with their weapons, having to resort to using it's own attacks against it to score a narrow victory.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: PlayedForLaughs. When Grime abruptly wakes Sasha in the morning, she momentarily forgets where she is and scrambles to explain that ''of course'' this is her natural hair colour!

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Sasha and Grime are alone, without their armed forces and armed with only their personal weapons good for hand-to-hand combat. Upon identifying their location, Andrias sends the robotic equivalent of an ''armoured tank'' containing a battalion of soldiers against them, despite the fact they cannot realistically pose any threat to his plans at present, just to [[MakeSureHesDead tidy up loose ends]]. The golden boss' go-to tactic when trying to take out the duo involves having it's disposable soldiers pin down one of the targets so it can blast them in the face close-range with it's [[{{BFG}} massive ordinance]], firing heat-seeking missiles about the size of the average frog, and it's tough enough that Grime and Sasha have to resort to using it's own weapons against it to win. Suffice to say, Andrias doesn't hold back when trying to remove any opposition to his plans, major or minor.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This episode reveals what happened to Yunan and Oliva after they seemingly vanished in "True Colours" during the big fight sequence. It turns out they were still in the room, but were intentionally keeping a low profile in order to try and sneak out of the chaotic situation at the first opportunity, due to not personally being 100% on board with Andrias' master plans of multiverseal conquest, despite him being their king and ruler. Unfortunately, with Sasha and Grime commandeering Joe Sparrow to escape, they're left with no reasonable way off the OminousFloatingCastle and are forced to [[WithUsOrAgainstUs reaffirm their loyalty to Andrias]] in order to avoid getting on his bad side.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: {{Subverted}}. Grime and Sasha are able to escape from Andrias' throne room before he can personally deal with them thanks to Joe Sparrow, but he has one of his robots follow them and once its identified their current location, sends a small armoured battalion with a ludicrous amount of firepower after them to finish them off, despite the fact they've realistically little to no chance of upsetting his plans at this point. The MechaMooks the golden boss spawns to fight the duo don't seem to have any armaments or weaponry on them, but their role in battle is to overwhelm and pin down the target so the golden boss itself can finish them off. With it's [[{{BFG}} massive cannons]]. Straight to the face. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill From a distance of about ten feet]].

* ZergRush: The miniature MechaMooks the golden boss spawns don't seem to have any armaments or blasters attached to them like the taller model line Frobo hails from. Instead, their standard tactic seems to be using their superior numbers and grabbling limbs to ensnare a target and pin them down for the golden boss to deliver a point-blank shot to the face with it's [[{{BFG}} cannons]], heedless of the fact they'll be destroyed as well. it almost works on Sasha before Grime intervenes, and then the Wartwood villagers join in to even the odds

* AbsenteeActos: Sort of. Anne's teleportation to Earth is shown from Sasha's POV for a few seconds and she's otherwise absent from the episode, but a voiceover of her plays as Sasha is reading her last journal entry.

** When Sasha enters Anne's old room in the Plantar's basement, there's a minor ContinuityCavalcade of items and objects shells accrued over her adventures in Wartwood, including:

* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Andrias grimly asks Olivia and Yunan if they're with him or against him. The two newts nervously assure their allegiance to the dark king.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This episode reveals tow happened to Yunan and Oliva after they seemingly vanished in "True Colours" during the big fight sequence.
