* FairPlayVillain: PlayedWith. When Kevdak accepts Grog's DuelToTheDeath challenge, he initially picks a long-handled axe similar to Grog's original one to fight him with, but discards it to fight him in hand-to-hand when Grog sheepishly admits he's 'between weapons at the moment'. This seems as much to quiet any claims of cowardice on his behalf, given Grog's still extremely weakened by Craven Edge's curse and poses no real threat to him anyway. When he ''does'' manage to [[HeroicSecondWind throw off said curse]], regain his muscular physique, and start overwhelming Kevdak in a flurry of Blows, Kevdak has no issue activating the Titanstone Knuckles' [[MakeMyMonsterGrow power]] to turn into an ''even bigger'' hulking bruiser than he was before, putting the size and power disparity between them back to square one.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Grog finally finds the answer to Earthbreaker Gorron's question of where his strength comes from: when he sees Pike at Kevdak's mercy, he regains his lost prowess with a triumphant roar of "'''I WOULD LIKE TO RAGE!!!'''" and fights back all the more fiercely to protect his adoptive sister.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Thanks to the Fey Realm hitting our heroes with YearInsideHourOutside, Vex, Vax, Percy and Keyleth ended up gone for three weeks when they'd actually been in there for three days. What this means is that the entire TravelMontage with Grog, Scanlan and Pike also took roughly three weeks, allowing the rest of the party to find them in Westruun [[BigDamnHeroes just in time.]]

* ChainedToABed: Scanlan falls victim to this trick when Kaylie uses Scanlan’s sex addiction to her advantage by pretending to seduce him, only to tie him to the bed while he is in a thong, giving her the opportunity to call him out for his neglect and reveal to him that she is his daughter.

* WhamLine: At the end of the episode, Kaylie leads Scanlan to her room with the promise of BDSM. After she has him all bound up, she tells him a bit about how her mother had not only used all of her life savings to pay for her education, but had told her many a tale about him. Scanlan muses on how her mother must be quite proud of her, only for Kaylie to give a bitter laugh.
-->'''Kaylie:''' Aye… she would be proud. (''suddenly points her sword at him'') [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech Proud I'm finally meeting the silver-tongued devil who whispered empty promises in her ear, then disappeared.]] Leaving her with nothing but a song… and ''[[LukeYouAreMyFather me]]''.\\
