History Recap / TangledTheSeriesS1E18NotInTheMood

* KubrickStare: Mood inverted Rapunzel takes to glaring at people from beneath her PeekABangs. Once she is un-inverted, she does this again while challenging King Frederic to [[GoThroughMe go through her]].

* PeekABangs: Rapunzel while she has her personality inverted, has her left eye hidden by her hair. It seems to symbolize how she now has gotten grumpy.

An important negotiation with a neighboring country is coming up, and Rapunzel and friends have been placed in charge of the banquet. But their near-constant bickering has been hindering their efforts and stressing out everyone around them. Xavier convinces Pascal and Maximus to use a mood-altering potion to tone down their friends excesses, but when they accidentally use too much they'll have to find a way to get the three back to normal before the function is completely ruined.

* KubrickStare: As she challenges King Frederic to [[GoThroughMe go through her]], Rapunzel stares at him defiantly from beneath her eyebrows.

* GoThroughMe: King Fredrick manages to overcome the effects of the potion when Rapunzel claims that if he really wants to kill the Griffin of Pittsford, then he would have to kill her first.

** Normally, King Fredrick is a ruler that tries to be cordial and ultimately wants peace. When under the effects of the potion, he pulls out his sword and declares war on the spot, having Rapunzel, Cassandra and Eugene locked in the dungeon when she tries to pacify the situation. While the king normally respects Rapunzel's sentimentality and her autonomy (to a point), under the effects of the potion he shames her for it.

--> '''King Fredrick:''' Your excellency, we are beyond delighted

--> '''King Fredrick:''' Uh, n-no, I simply meant that--

* MirrorMoralityMachine: The potion acts like one, to an extent. It makes the normally cheerful and friendly Rapunzel into a grumpy {{Jerkass}}, the stoic Cassandra into a cheerful optimist, and the confident-to-the-point-of-arrogance Eugene into an insecure nervous wreck. When applied to King Frederic later, it turns him into a cruel, war-mongering dictator.

* HowWeGotHere: The episode starts out with chaos in the ballroom, a belligerent King Fredric, and Rapunzel getting thrown in prison. [[InMediasRes Then the entire episode explains the chain of events that built up to that moment]].

* BaitAndSwitch: At the end of the episode, it looks like the Griffin of Pittsford is about to embark on a huge ship, but it turns out his personal vessel is a ''dingy'' that he sails in all by himself, blowing wind into the sails minute by minute.
* BreatherEpisode: Another one following the previous, though much more since the next episode is where things get dark.

* OneDropRule: The personality potion should only have a single drop used for each of the people it was to be fed to. Instead, the whole bottle got spilled into the lemonade. The reversal potion, which might just be the original, got dumped into the fog machine and infected the entire ballroom.

!!Trope Examples:

* PeekABangs: Rapunzel in her flipped personality usually has her left eye hidden by her hair.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: It's never elaborated ''how'' they got everyone else back to normal in a short period of time. That vapor was clearly enough for the effects to last long. If they got everyone to fight the potion like Rapunzel did with her father, that would've been ''really'' difficult to accomplish.

* NoSell: The burly, unsavory man Cassandra let into the palace while guarding the front gate shows no evidence of being affected by the potion.

* ContinuityNod: Rapunzel comments how she didn't like the taste of the lemonade, a nod back to her comment in "Queen for a Day".
