* WhatTheHellHero: An indirect one, but Scorpia Lampshades how the Princess Alliance allowing Shadow Weaver to walk around free, unpunished and near to [[ParentalFavouritism Adora]] has ''not'' been doing Carta's mentality any favours over the unfairness of her evading the consequences of her actions. She then somewhat directs this towards herself, noting how her leaving is only going to make the problem worse, even if she can't undo it now. Adora actually looks disgruntled when she points this out, fully aware that Scorpia is completely correct, but unwilling to admit it before a perceived enemy.

* VillainousBreakdown: Catra is ''not'' handling Scorpia leaving well.

to:

* VillainousBreakdown: Catra is ''not'' handling Scorpia leaving well. She becomes increasingly desperate for Double Trouble to check in, not knowing they've been captured; hallucinates seeing Scorpia in the security footage and hearing her voice; and becomes increasingly paranoid that the rank-and-file are mocking her behind her back. This leads to her repeatedly lashing out at Lonnie, Kyle, and Rogelio for no apparent reason, and after reporting in to Hordak that [[BlatantLies everything is under control]] she's revealed to have utterly trashed the control room and breaks down sobbing.

* ThisExplainsSoMuch: When she sees [[AbusiveParents Shadow Weaver]] walking around [[KarmaHoudini free, unpunished and in a position of some authority within Brightmoon]] after ''everything'' she put Catra through, Scorpia bluntly says that now she fully understands her more [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope negative downward spiral]] recently. Furthermore, she somewhat-guiltily realises that her leaving is only going to exacerbate Catra's emotional breakdown, even if it's too late to take it back.

* ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: Adora is clearly uncomfortable hearing Scorpia note how seeing Shadow Weaver walking around free probably did a number on Catra and quickly shifts the interrogation topic.

* FailedASpotCheck: While the princesses are arguing over using the Heart of Etheria or not, they fail to notice Scorpia and Emily sneaking past the guards and waiting in the war room until Swift Wind notices her. Two-for-one since he doesn't even point out she's an intruder, he's complaining the new lady gets a chair and he still doesn't.

* MaskOfSanity: After watching Catra's psyche deteriorate as the episode goes on she seems disturbingly composed as she reports in to Hordak and tells him the state of the Horde. Then once the call is over the next shot shows that she has trashed every other monitor in the room she was in before she takes off her mask and cries.
* MundaneLuxury: Like Adora and Catra, Scorpia who was raised in the Horde has no idea of regular food and is puzzled by salads.
* NotHelpingYourCase: As Scorpia tries to protest she's not come to hurt anyone, Emily the Horde bot appears and starts blazing at their attackers with a laser, and Scorpia unintentionally jabs Perfuma with her stinger.

* BadBoss: Scorpia's defection has caused Catra to lash out at her troops and work them overtime. She sends Lonnie's squad out on a triple shift and her soldiers keep coming back more and more exhausted then the last. She has also become paranoid and thinks everyone is laughing at the behind her back.
