Cornelia's desperate attempt to contact Elyon goes horribly wrong. Not least of all due to Hak Foo joining Phobos as a new Dark Chi Warrior.
- Adaptational Badass: Canonically, Hak Foo becoming a Dark Chi Warrior gave him a Super-Toughness that required being thrown down a cliff by Uncle using the Ox Talisman. Here, he's so powerful he can No-Sell Will's enhanced Guardian strength, and needs to be trapped in a vortex of the Guardians' elemental magic and hit with a blast from the Dragon Talisman to be defeated.
- Adapted Out: Despite this episode being based on the W.I.T.C.H. episode "The Mogriffs", the titular beings were cut from the plot, on the grounds that it was their only appearance anyway.
- Bare-Handed Blade Block: When Caleb tries to attack Hak Foo from behind with his katana, the fresh Dark Chi Warrior casually catches the blade with one hand.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: When Cornelia and Jade are captured, they're left trapped in a magic sphere when the villains go to spring their trap for the other heroes. No one stays to guard them, and they're not searched for any weapons or tools, with Phobos assuming there's nothing they can do. By the time Tarakudo and the Dark Chi Enforcers come to take the Heart from them, the two girls have just freed themselves with it and thwart the bad guys with an onion and the Snake Talisman.
- Both Sides Have a Point: After Tarakudo takes on Elyon's form to attack the heroes, Cornelia suggests going to Meridian to try talking to her, but Uncle points out that that's exactly what the villains want, and that they can't act rashly. Will understands Cornelia's concerns, but agrees with Uncle, pointing out that the last time they tried something like that, they were shrunk and almost eaten by a spider. Even Jade herself wants to wait until they have a viable plan, and when Cornelia doesn't have a plan when she sneaks off by herself, Jade tags along with the Snake Talisman so she's got backup.
- Crazy-Prepared:
- Jade's been keeping the Talismans close at hand ever since Alchemy joined the group.
- Caleb tried to bring onions along again, but this time Blunk ate them before they snuck into the castle.
- Jade also expected Cornelia to try and use the Heart to sneak over to Meridian and try and find Elyon, and knowing that she couldn't stop her, wrote a note for her Astral Drop to give to Jackie in case they weren't back in a couple hours, likely due to being captured.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Hak Foo defeats single-handedly a dozen of Phobos' guards upon bursting into the castle. When he later first fights as a Dark Chi Warrior against the heroes, the fight is in his favor until the girls are able to assume their Guardian forms.
- Destination Defenestration: Jade and Cornelia use the Snake Talisman to sneak up on the Enforcers and toss them out a window.
- For Want Of A Nail: Wong kills Caleb's bird when he catches it spying on the castle. Also, it turns out that the Book of Secrets belongs to him, not Phobos.
- Frame-Up: Tarakudo takes on Elyon's form to attack the heroes to sow mistrust against the princess, but Jade is able to realize the truth. Later, when Elyon is out of the castle, Wong uses an illusion to make a group of Lurdens look like Rebellion soldiers attacking the city.
- He Knows Too Much: When Wong finds out that Caleb's bird has heard what he said to himself about his plans against Phobos, the dark wizard obliterates the animal to cover himself.
- Hypocritical Humor: When Cornelia and Jade sneak off to Meridian, Caleb claims he wouldn't have done it in such a reckless manner, only for Uncle to smack him and remind him that his recklessness has led to him being captured several times already.
- Invulnerable Knuckles: Will waves her hands like Jackie does when she fails to hurt the fresh Dark Chi Warrior Hak Foo with a series of enhanced punches.
- Mook Carryover: Hak Foo quits the Dark Hand and ends up becoming a Dark Chi Warrior when he infiltrates Phobos' castle and impresses both the prince and Wong with his battle prowess.
- One-Man Army: Hak Foo defeats a dozen of Phobos's guards with little effort. When he first appears as a Dark Chi Warrior, he dominates the entire fight against Jackie, Tohru, Uncle, Caleb, four of the unpowered Guardians and Alchemy, even though they've armed themselves with the Talismans. Even after the girls transform into Guardians, they still need to combine all their powers to overcome his Super-Toughness.
- The Only One Allowed to Defeat You: Hak Foo says this in regards to the heroes when first confronting Phobos. Impressed by this and the skill he's shown, Phobos gives him a chance to live up to the spirit of this trope by recruiting him as a Dark Chi Warrior.
- Pre-Mortem One-Liner: Will delivers one when she and her friends are finally about to defeat Hak Foo (since he's an immortal Dark Chi Warrior, getting him to poof technically counts for him as dying).Will: He may not go poof... But let's see him go boom!
- Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...: When Hak Foo is pinned, Will bombards the new Dark Chi Warrior with punches and kicks. Even with her enhanced strength, she only manages to hurt herself, while he seems to be only slightly pained.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Hak Foo starts this chapter having parted ways with Valmont.
- Shut Up, Kirk!: Will asks Hak Foo if he's really willing to let himself be turned into Wong's slave in exchange for power. His response is a Blunt "Yes".
