* DefiantCaptive: Hiccup and Toothless. The former is at his snarkiest and does everything he can to escape, at one point using his prosthetic leg to try and knock out a guard. Toothless stops eating and pretends to be sick to trick the guards into taking off his muzzle, escapes quickly, then spends the rest of the episode looking for Hiccup.

Imprisoned and separated from Toothless on Outcast Island, Hiccup finds himself and his dragon at Alvin's mercy. Alvin makes it clear that if Hiccup doesn't train dragons than Toothless's life is forfeit.
!! Tropes for this episode include
* AdultFear: For Stoick, his son has been kidnapped (again) by his worst enemy.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Gobber when examining the fake Night fury deduces that it came from Outcast Island since it's made partly from Loki Tree wood, which only grows on that particular island.
* AnOfferYouCantRefuse: Subverted. Alvin tells Hiccup bluntly that if the boy doesn't train the dragons, then the Outcasts [[DeadlyEuphemism have no use for a Night Fury like Toothless]]. Before Hiccup is forced to train dragons, however, Alvin implements ''another'' gambit, where he pretends to toss Mildew into a cell.
* BerserkButton: Hiccup hates being called "Stoick's little runt".
* BigDamnHeroes: The other dragons save Hiccup and Toothless in the climax, without any commands from their riders.
* CallBack:
** The dragon calls from the previous episode lead to Hiccup and Toothless finding each other.
** Trader Johann helps the riders sneak onto Outcast Island and find out where Hiccup was imprisoned.
* ChekhovsGun: The dragon calls from the first part.
* ChekhovsGunman: Trader Johann.
* ComplexityAddiction: Alvin with his gambits. If not for Hiccup falling into his traps so easily, he wouldn't have succeeded by the end.
* CruelTwistEnding: Mildew ends up being a FakeDefector, and he gives Alvin the dragon training that the Outcasts covet.
* DeadlyEuphemism: If Hiccup doesn't train dragons for Alvin, none of the dragons are "of any use" to Alvin, especially Toothless.
* EnemyMine: Mildew and Hiccup, to escape from the Outcast cells. Ends up subverted, since Mildew was an agent for Alvin during the temporary alliance.
* FakeDefector: Mildew. At first it seems he truly learns to appreciate dragons, but after being "recaptured" on Outcast Island he teaches Alvin what Hiccup taught him about dragon training.
* ShoutOut: Gobber and Stoick's analysis of the fake Night Fury hearkens to {{Batman}}'s deductions.

* ItsAllMyFault: Hiccup blames himself for getting captured, with Toothless as a hostage.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Hiccup during most of this episode. First, he snarks advice for dragon training while touring the pits, which Alvin notes as making Hiccup even ''more'' invaluable, and then tries to attack Alvin in the climax.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Hiccup due to his DeadpanSnarker moments not only reveals dragon training secrets to Alvin but also makes jokes that earn him some violent shoves.
