Heather's locked up, despite many escape attempts, but the riders have to figure out how to retrieve the Book of Dragons from Outcast Island. Astrid decides to go undercover as Heather to retrieve it, only to find she's in over her head.

* AintTooProudToBeg: After Astrid captures her, Heather begs to be released to go to Outcast Island to rescue her parents. She gives up the attempt when Astrid catches her in a lie about the "pirates".
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Astrid disguised as Heather convinces Savage and Alvin that they need her since she has the actual experience of training dragons, and the book alone won't help.
* ChekhovsLecture: When forced to tame a wild Nightmare, Astrid remembers
* CryingWolf: Astrid finds out halfway through the episode that Heather was telling the truth about Alvin holding Heather's parents hostage. The reason why she didn't believe Heather was that the latter had lied earlier and betrayed them.
* DamselInDistress: Astrid in the climax, when Alvin knocks her off Stormfly and carries her out of Toothless's firing range. He threatens to drop her off a cliff unless Hiccup and Toothless surrender.
* GracefulLoser: Alvin when he sees that the Monstrous Nightmare that Astrid tamed comes back to rescue her, and the Outcasts lose the book.
