History Recap / AmphibiaS3E03TurningPoint

Some days earlier in Newtopia Castle above Newtopia during the night, after Marcy is stabbed by King Andrias from the back, causing her to drop the Calamity Box, and sending Anne with the Plantars to Los Angeles on Earth. Right after this, Andrias orders Lady Olivia and General Yunan (both who are now forced to obey their king out of fear of death) to take Marcy's body away to a rejuvenation tank. Having gotten the Calamity Box, he plans to move forward. Meanwhile, Sasha and Grime are hiding from the giant Newt; Sasha is heartbroken to see Marcy on the floor mortally wounded but is told by Grime they can't help her now. Before they could leave, some Frog-Bots surround them at gunpoint, so Sasha and Grime had to jump out the window and escape on Joe Sparrow, not knowing Andrias saw them and orders a Frog-Bot to follow them as he didn't want lose ends. Grime noticed the Toad Army is captured by the Frog-Bots and Sasha points Toad Tower wouldn't be a good place to hide, so they decide to return to Wartwood to hide.

The next day, Sasha and Grime arrive to the confusion of the townspeople who want to know what is happening and why the Castle is floating. Grime tells Sasha they can’t know about what happened to Anne or Marcy and he tells them this; the first half of their story is true about Andrias being a ruthless tyrant - but the other half is a lie that Anne and the Planters were on an important mission and sent him and Sasha to protect the town. The people of Wartwood are relieved to hear this, but Sasha feels guilty. The 2 decided to go to the Plantar Farm to rest for the night but Sasha is hesitant to sleep in the same house of the friend she betrayed yet again so she decides to sleep in the barn where encounters she [=MicroAngelo=] and Bessie and then lies down and covers her face in hay out of shame, while Grime sleeps in Hop Pop's bed. In the morning Sasha is riddled with even more guilt when the townsfolk treat her with kindness and reminded her of Anne.

Grime informs her that some of the Toad Army members managed to elude capture and got word from his sister Beatrice who used a messenger bat to send this message that the toads are regrouping and planning an attack. Just then the Frog-Bot that was following them showed up to scan the area; Sasha and Grime managed to fight it then Grime destroyed it by Barrel's Warhammer he's using, though the Frog-Bot manages to send a signal where they are before the hammer made contact. Grime decides to leave before Frog-Bot reinforcements show up, but Sasha is reluctant to leave the townsfolk, now wanting nothing to do with plans and schemes because she now knows the consequences and is tired of manipulating others. Grime tells her to go into the Planter's house so she can deal with the drama so they can go. As Sasha looks around Anne's room she finds her friend's journal; after reading it she learns that Anne genuinely valued her friendship with her. Tears run down Sasha's face as she apologizes for her cruel deeds, and she decides to go do what she knows is 'right'.

She gathers everyone in Wartwood and tells them the truth and vows to protect them until her last breath. Just then a Giant Frog-Bot shows up and Sasha engages it in battle, but the Frog-Bot shoots out smaller Frog-Bots that overwhelm her. Just as the Giant Frog-Bot is about to fire a missile from the chess cannon at Sasha, Grime, who had a change of heart as well, rescues her. The villagers then join in the fight, attacking the smaller Frog-Bots as Sasha and Grime use the Giant Frog-Bot's 2 own missiles from its 2 arms turned into 2 cannons to blow itself up.

* TheAtoner: Having finally seen the consequences of her actions, Sasha vows to become a better person for the sake of her friends, and she starts by becoming a protector of Wartwood.

* DramaticIrony: Sasha may know what’s gonna happen to Marcy, but she has absolutely no idea that Anne ended up back at home, but for all Sasha knows, she could be in an even stranger world.

** The stuffed doll of Domino 2 that Sprig made her in "[[Recap/AmphibiaS1E07TheDominoEffect The Domino Effect]]".
** Several of Hop Pop's IOU's from "[[Recap/AmphibiaS1E12GirlTime Girl Time]]".
** A bag of Beetle Jerky, like the one that Wally had in "[[Recap/AmphibiaS1E19ToadTax Toad Tax]]".

Grime tells Sasha they can’t know about what happened to Anne or Marcy and he tells them this;the first half of their story is true about Andrias being a ruthless tyrant -‘s evil but the other half is a lie that Anne and the Planters were on an important mission and sent him and Sasha to protect the town.

TBA...

* MusicalisInterruptus: Wally is about to sing a song to Sasha about how Anne and her friends mean to the town, but she promptly shushes him.

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

* ChangedMyMindKid: Grime abandons Wartwood to join Beatrix's army before Andrias' forces can show up, figuring the town is a lost cause and he doesn't want to throw away his life fighting a HopelessWar. However, later that day, just as Sasha is about to be executed by Andrias' reinforcements, Grime returns to save her.
* ChekhovsGunman: Similar to [[Recap/AmphibiaS2E36TrueColors his last appearance]] (which was chronologically only a few minutes ago for him), Joe Sparrow appears to save somebody falling to their death from Andrias' OminousFloatingCastle, and additionally also provides Grime and Sasha an easy means of fleeing straight to Wartwood, avoiding getting captured with the rest of their forces by Andrias' MechaMooks.

* PerspectiveFlip: This episode shows the events of the last few minutes of "[[Recap/AmphibiaS2E36TrueColors True Colors]]" from Sasha and Grime's perspective, showing how they escaped from Andrias' OminousFloatingCastle and returned to Wartwood, as well as how the Wartwood villagers reacted to the reveal of Andrias' MechaMook army.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This episode reveals what happened to Yunan and Oliva after they seemingly vanished in "True Colors" 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 multiversal 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 it's identified their current location, sends a small armored 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 its [[{{BFG}} massive cannons]]. Straight to the face. [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill From a distance of about ten feet]].

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Sasha confronts the Golden Boss' minions by herself to protect Wartwood. Whilst she has taken ''multiple'' [[TookALevelInBadass levels in badass]] since she arrived in Wartwood, and is facing down robots of a weaker, smaller and lesser-armed capability than the ones she fought in Andrias' throne room and carved through with ease, she's still fighting by herself against a [[ZergRush numerically superior foe]]. Despite some initial good showing she's quickly blindsided and restrained by the robots, and even when Grime arrives to help save her the number disadvantage still threatens to overwhelm the both of them together until the Wartwood villagers join in. Just because you've got better-trained individual fighters on your side doesn't mean they can [[OneManArmy easily tear through a small army]] of easily-replaceable {{Mooks}}.

* DramaticIrony: Sasha may know what’s gonna happen to Marcy, but she has absolutely no idea that Anne ended up back at home, but for All Sasha knows, she could be in an even stranger world.

* HeroFromAnotherStory: After her HeelFaceTurn, Sasha, alongside Grime, decides to turn Wartwood into LaResistance against King Andrias, while at the same time Anne’s trying to find a way to go back to Amphibia to stop him.

'''Sasha:''' [smiles and puts an arm on Ms. Croaker] We start fighting back.

* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: Grime and Sasha lie to the citizens of Wartwood about what happened to Anne, claiming she and the Plantars are off on a secret mission and sent them to defend the town. Grime intends to bail at the first opportunity, especially when he learns some of the toads have survived and regrouped. As the town sings her praises, Sasha realizes she has to be honest with them.

* WhamLine: More of a wham exchange between Ms. Croaker and Sasha.

'''Sasha:''' [putting an arm on Ms. Croaker] We start fighting back.

* TearsOfRemorse: Sasha has these when looking at Anne's journal and reads about what Anne said about her.

* ChekhovsGunman: Similar to [[Recap/AmphibiaS2E36TrueColors his last appearance]] (which was chronologically only a few minutes ago for him) Joe Sparrow appears to save somebody falling to their death from Andrias' OminousFloatingCastle, and additionally also provides Grime and Sasha an easy means of fleeing straight to Wartwood, avoiding getting captured with the rest of their forces by Andrias' MechaMooks.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sasha returns to the Plantars' now abandoned house, finding Anne's journal in her old room and flipping to the last page, wherein Anne is hopeful after the BattleOfTheBands and feels like she can trust Sasha again. This helps Sasha to see just how badly she betrayed Anne's trust and convinces her to be a better person. This is also the first time the Anime-styled outro is put to good use.
* MoodWhiplash: Immediately after Ms. Croaker and Sasha's wham exchange...cue {{Animesque}} ending sequence. At least Sasha and Grime score a few spots during the sequence.

-->'''Ms. Croaker:''' What happens now?
-->'''Sasha:''' [putting an arm on Ms. Croaker] We start fighting back.
-->[Cue [[MoodWhiplash Anime-styled sequence and anime music]]]

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Sasha returns to the Plantars' now abandoned house, finding Anne's journal in her old room and flipping to the last page, wherein Anne is hopeful after the BattleOfTheBands and feels like she can trust Sasha again. This helps Sasha to see just how badly she betrayed Anne's trust and convinces her to be a better person.

-->'''Ms. Croaker:''' Hey. So what happens now?

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This episode reveals what happened to Yunan and Oliva after they seemingly vanished in "True Colors" 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.

* DarkestHour: Grime and Sasha have barely escaped with their lives from King Andrias, his robots are still hunting them, and only a fraction of the toads remain.

* EyeScream: During the townspeople's attack on the MechaMooks, Loggle does this to disable several of them

* TragicKeepsake: An unintentional example. Anne's journal was left behind in her old room in the basement, seemingly dropped while Anne was packing since it was left on the floor. The journal functions as this to Sasha when she finds it.

* WithUsOrAgainstUs: As an ImpliedDeathThreat, 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, or even try to leave his castle alive.

* 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 its [[{{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.

** Yunan and Olivia were trying to sneak out of the throne room in the commotion. Unfortunately for them, Andrias spots them and forces them to stay on his side, because they’re otherwise not allowed to leave his castle with knowledge of his invasion in one piece.

* 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 ''armored 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 its disposable soldiers pin down one of the targets so it can blast them in the face close-range with its [[{{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 its 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.

* WithUsOrAgainstUs: As an ImpliedDeathThreat, 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.
