* Would Cass still have betrayed Rapunzel even if Gothel didn't abandon her on the night she kidnapped the infant princess? The answer is most likely yes, because even if they had been raised together as sisters, Gothel would have still favored Rapunzel over her own daughter. If anything, it would just have made Cass completely justified in turning against her.



* Also from the finale, Cassandra leaves Corona to pursue her destiny. However, prior to this, she had become a wanted criminal. Even if all charges against her were dropped (which, to be fair, they probably were), who's to say her brutal and forceful (not to mention her role in freeing Zhan Tiri) takeover of Corona hadn't been made known elsewhere as well? What if one or more people try to go up against her/take her down over it? And considering [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone how guilty]] she was over her misdeeds... would she even be willing to defend herself?

** It also works on a meta sense, as Cassandra's voice-actress (Eden Espinosa) originally auditioned for Rapunzel in the movie, but was passed over for Mandy Moore. She tried again for the role of Elsa in 'Frozen', but again missed out. Suddenly all her remarks about "Rapunzel" taking what should have been hers, how she was left 'waiting in the wings', and 'it's always someone else who sings'... it all suddenly makes a ''lot'' more sense.

** Also, [[spoiler: Cassandra's music box breaking is also symbolic of Gothel's ''very conditional'' affection for her daughter. Cassandra accidentally breaks it when her mother cuts the bridge, prompted when she nearly gave her mother away to the guards. True to her character, Gothel's "love" for Cass is (for lack of better words) fragile to the point that it "broke" the instant her daughter inconvenienced her.]]

** Come to think of it, what makes Rapunzel's dream so special when compared to Hookfoot or Eugene's dreams? Simple. Rapunzel's dream may sound simple, but not only is it a [[HumbleGoal pure endeavor]], ''it's also within reason''. The way Hookhand saw it, his brother being a one-footed dancer didn't seem likely, and a wanted man like Eugene was way in over his head trying to gain untold wealth.
*** On that note, Hookhand trying to be a one-handed piano player is also impossible on paper. But that makes it all the more hypocritical. He's so caught up in making fun of Hookfoot's dream that it doesn't occur to him how unattainable his own dream was.

** Cassandra may have [[spoiler: taken over Corona now]], but she's still very much under Zhan Tiri's manipulation. Despite breaking out of her position under Rapunzel, she's still a handmaiden.

* Rapunzel receiving a journal from Arianna is rather fitting when one bears in mind that in the movie, she always wondered "[[WaxingLyrical When will my life begin]]?" Well now that it's begun, what better time than now to give her a journal to record her newly-begun life?

** Pascal's [[spoiler:revival by Rapunzel's hair]] adds a layer to most likely why Rapunzel always had him hide whenever Mother Gothel visited. In addition to Pascal being a creature from the outside, Rapunzel would likely have had to explain why the chameleon was sticking to her side and thereby [[spoiler:admit that she allowed someone other than Gothel benefit from her hair's power.]]

* Since Gothel was alive hundreds of years ago, it's only because of the Sundrop keeping her young that it was possible for Cassandra to be born. The carrier of the Moonstone owes her existence to the Sundrop inside Rapunzel.


Added DiffLines:

* Given that Gothel is ''much'' older than she looks, just how many times has she had a child and used them as free household help like Cassandra?

** Quirin is more to blame than Varian for the experiment going wrong, given that he didn't tell him what he knew about the black rocks and why experimenting on them was a bad idea.

* As pointed out [[https://rachelbethhines.tumblr.com/post/629908899478306816/tangled-salt-marathon-mirror-mirror here]], what if Cassandra never escaped the mirror in "Mirror, Mirror" and the Cassandra we see for the remainder of the series is her mirror clone?

* In ''Literature/RapunzelAndTheLostLagoon'', Rapunzel says something is "so white it practically had a sound", implying she has synesthesia. Who does that remind one of?

* In "Be Very Afraid", at the beginning of the episode, Feldspar is notably unforgiving towards [[spoiler: Varian, despite the latter's reformation.]] Come to think about it, it's not out of character for Feldspar to hold a grudge against someone: he ([[RealityEnsues understandably]]) refused to give Eugene a job at his shoe shop on the basis that he robbed the shoe cobbler a year prior in "Fitzherbert P.I."

** It also indicates her character development from "Painter's Block". Back then, she was vulnerable to the temptations to let others decide for her, out of fear that her gut feelings and choices were be the wrong ones. But instead of shying away from that fear, she trusts her instinct that whoever the werewolf is, they deserve the benefit of the doubt as one of her subjects.

** First, [[spoiler: it hints that contrary to the previous episode's title "Once a Handmaiden", there's more to Cassandra than simply being Zhan Tiri's [[BeyondRedemption irredeemable]] "handmaiden". Even after ''every bridge'' she's burnt (and we mean ''[[ThenLetMeBeEvil every]]'' bridge), she eventually came to her senses and recognized her friendship with Rapunzel wasn't worth having a destiny all her own. She and Rapunzel even work together, their friendship proving to be Zhan Tiri's downfall.]]
** Second, [[spoiler: Cass shows she's [[LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter not so]] [[NotSoSimilar similar]] to her mother. Although Cass has let herself become Rapunzel's enemy, when she lost the Moonstone, she makes it clear [[KarmicNod she knows she doesn't deserve Rapunzel's forgiveness]] and that she's been in the wrong. In life, Gothel '''[[NeverMyFault never]]''' [[NeverMyFault apologized]] to Rapunzel, even if she had a thousand years.]]
