* AchievementsInIgnorance: The Urpneys botch Urpgor's spy monitor scheme by bumping into the Noops, knocking them out. During their bickering, they find the Dreamstone within the wreckage and hand it to Zordrak. For extra points, by contrast the heroes had to put upa ''far'' more elaborate effort to get the Dreamstone back this time, with Zordrak even inspired to upgrade his plans against them.

* WhamEpisode[=/=]NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Subtle but effective case. Zordrak adopts a more menacing plan for the Dreamstone, making each episode's stakes more dire for the heroes. The Noops are also given a more serious challenge in this episode and TookALevelInBadass they lost after Season One. While episodes after this revert back to comical Urpney plots, the Noops' boosted SympatheticPOV and slightly greater sense of menace are often maintained.

Added DiffLines:

* SympatheticPOV: Starts off Urpney focused as Blob's men try to set up Urpgor's device, then switches to the Noops when they try to retrieve the Dreamstone from them. More evened case than usual because the Noops have a much harder time in this episode, with Zordrak even gaining a newer more dangerous plan for the stone to up their stakes for the rest of the series.

* MidSeasonTwist: Zordrak reveals a new, deadlier motive for taking the Dreamstone, upping the stakes for the heroes.



* NotSoHarmlessVillain: After Zordrak gets his hands on the stone, it seems the Argorribles nightmares are all the heroes have to worry about as usual. Then the Noops overhear his new plan, to take the stone to the Nightmare Planet and convert it into evil, with which he will become invincible, crushing the heroes and becoming "Lord of the Universe". From this point onwards in the series, the heroes losing the stone becomes a more frantic race against time.

* RevisitingTheRoots: The episode starts off a standard laid back VillainProtagonist story with the Urpneys' buffoonery, before a PerspectiveSwitch to the Noops, leading to a genuinely serious and intense climax much akin the pilot episode.

* TookALevelInBadass: In most previous episodes, while the Noops did sometimes save the stone, they were usually {{Glass Cannon}}s or outright {{Miles Gloriosus}}, only able to handle the Urpneys at their most harmless. In this episode they take on much more elaborate planning to get the stone back and are even implied to escape a brief scuffle with Zordrak in one piece, showing they can handle a NotSoHarmless threat.
