** Riga delivers a bold but (but, as it turns out mistaken out, mistaken) one to the Warlock Lord.



* EvilCounterpart: The Warlock Lord proves to be this to Allanon, something that's further highlighted by the fact that they look the same now. Throughout the episode, they both try to teach a protege to put emotions aside in order to serve a higher purpose and end up facing off against the Crimson. However, Allanon ultimately turns out to be unable to ignore his own fatherly love for Mareth and gets bested by the Crimson because of it, while the Warlock Lord successfully convinces Bandon to kill Catania all over again and then goes on to defeat the Crimson.
* EvilerThanThou: After almost a full season, we finally get to see Riga, the magic-hating BigBad, face off against the Warlock Lord, the magic-using BigBad. The Warlock Lord proves decisively that he's the eviler of the two - Riga's vaunted [[AntiMagic magic immunity]] protects him for all of two seconds before the Warlock Lord gets creative.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: A Crimson soldier tells a female Chosen that she can buy herself another few hours of life by letting him have his way with her. He promptly becomes the first one Eretria kills.

* OffscreenTeleportation: Amberle does it frequently during her conversation with Wil. It also doubles as her switching back and fourth between her white-robed "spirit of the Ellcrys" form and one dressed as she was when traveling with Wil.
* ReforgedBlade: When Wil admits that Amberle is never coming back, he looks over to the broken stump of the Sword of Shannara he was holding and sees that it's regenerated into the complete blade.
