Recap / The Emperors New School S 1 E 18 The Bride Of Kuzco

• An Aesop: As Malina puts it, sometimes one should consider if what you're gaining is worth what you'll lose.
• Control Freak: Princess Lalala's worst trait is that she has to nitpick and control every aspect of whoever she's going to marry. It's so bad that when she marries a new husband, barely a day into their marraige, he chooses to change himself into a llama and spend his life with his steed instead.
• Deal with the Devil: In order to get out of marrying Princess Lalala, Kuzco makes a deal with Yzma to turn the princess into a frog, and in exchange, Yzma would be empress for a day. True to the trope, Yzma attempts to screw Kuzco over by trying to have him executed during her day as empress so that she can keep the throne.
• Hen Pecked Husband: Kuzco almost becomes one to Princess Lalala. She makes it a point to micromanage every part of his life, from stripping his throne of all its amenities to restricting that he names it "throney".
• Status Quo Is God: Malina was considering going out with Kuzco before he chose to get engaged to Princess Lalala. Once he breaks off the engagement, the moment has passed and she's not interested in a date. Though she does agree to go on a picnic with him. It's a start.
