The puppies think Dylan might be royalty when they realize he looks identical to the Prince of Dalmatia.
This episode features examples of:
- And Now You Must Marry Me: Clarissa tricks Dylan into signing a marriage certificate with her so she can marry into royalty.
- Furry Reminder: Dolly "knocks" on the door by scratching it like a dog eager to go outside.
- Gold Digger: Clarissa decides to trick Dylan into marrying her when she overhears he's actually royalty.
- Hypocritical Humor: After Dylan starts acting like a Royal Brat to distract Clarissa, she walks off calling him "so demanding," even though she earlier declared her intentions to control every aspect of his life once they're married.
- Identical Grandson: Subverted. Dylan looks exactly like the Prince of Dalmatia, but it turns out the portrait was just dirty, which coincidentally made it look like the Prince's white ears had spots identical to Dylan's.
- Let Us Never Speak of This Again: Clarissa says this word for word to her friends when she finds out that Dylan isn't actually royalty and she almost married a commoner.
- Lonely at the Top: Dylan quickly starts missing his siblings after Clarissa banishes them for being "disloyal subjects."
- Read the Fine Print: Dylan signs Clarissa's "courtier application," unaware that it's actually a marriage certificate.
- Title Drop: Dolly asks Dylan the question that makes up the title of the episode when Clarissa starts to tempt him into the royal life.
- Verbal Backspace: Dylan and Clarissa both do this in quick succession. Dylan says that being royalty, he can improve his own life, before correcting it to his subjects' lives. Clarissa then says that she'll have a wonderful time, before back-pedaling to say Dylan will have a wonderful time.
