* MovingTheGoalPosts: Whenever Hilda thinks she's found the person who can call off her and her mother's eviction, it seems that they just lack the authority to do so, forcing her to go to the next person up the chain of command.

It is also hilarious, when Hilda fails to reason with the Prime Minister and is forced to go up one last step in the chain of command...[[InterruptedByTheEnd only for the episode to end]].

* AdaptationAmalgamation: The episode combines the plots of "Hilda and the Troll" with the first half of "Hilda and the Midnight Giant".
* AdaptedOut:
** The episode leaves out a scene from "Hilda and the Troll" where Hilda spends a night outside in her tent.
** An elf named Tomas is left out of the scene between Hilda and the Elf Mayor. His role is given to Alfur instead.
** Downplayed with the Woodman; he is present, but in a smaller role than in the graphic novels. In "Hilda and the Troll", he is there when the Troll comes to Hilda's house, and he figures out why the Troll is upset.

Added DiffLines:

* EarlyBirdCameo: The episode opens with several:
** The first few opening shots are framed around a bird that looks almost exactly like the Great Raven, flying from Trolberg to Hilda's house in the wilderness.
** The bird passes by Victoria Van Gale's weather station on its way out of town.
** Hilda briefly gets picked up by a friendly water spirit when hopping over some rocks in the river.
** Possibly unintentional, but Hilda struggles against a tiny blizzard which seems to be caused by a resting [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent weather spirit.]]
