* FaceRealization: After spending the entire season (and presumably most of her life) convinced that she was born to be a cold-hearted dragon-slayer, upon learning that the American Dragon is the boy she has a crush on, Rose finds that she just doesn't have it in her to betray him.



* SadisticChoice: In a sense, learning the American Dragon's true identity must've put Rose between a rock and a hard place.

If she spared him, Jake would live another day, but as exemplified by the end of the episode, [[YouHaveFailedMe there would be consequences]].

* CallBack:
** At the very beginning of the episode, Rose approaching Jake makes him have a flashback to the climax of "Ski Trip", when he's just learned that Rose is Huntsgirl and she's showing off her birthmark, declaring that it destines her to slay dragons.
** Shortly thereafter, there's another one to "Dragon Breath", when Rose looks at a picture of her and Jake at that school dance, showing just how much she values that memory and how much she's come to care for Jake.

* YouHaveFailedMe: The Huntsman noticeably starts losing his patience with Rose in this episode. After they discover that their prey escaped their chains during the night, the Huntsman is furious with Rose. Later on, after Jake is recaptured, and Rose hesitates in killing him, the Huntsman once again is not happy. Sure enough, early on in season two, it's revealed that her disappearance at the end of this episode was the result of her being punished by the Huntsman.
