History Recap / LuzClawthorneTwoWorldsOneFamilyChapter80

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Le'Belle, Scarmeron, Barbara, Joana, and Thunder are not comfortable with the idea of the former Glandus students getting branded.

** Was Gibson the Horned King imposter who attacked Artemis and the original SSE and stole the Planespheric Disc piece they discovered?

** Remember that hooded figure spotted near Marilyn's grave when Lilith and Hunter visited it in "The Obligatory Beach Day!"? Turns out it was Adrian.

** Howard'a death, and why whoever killed him would do so.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Regardless of how much time he spent away from Belos, what he learned about the tyrant, and his motive for working with his "uncle" now, Hunter still has a need to prove himself useful to Belos; a lifetime of doing so can't be erased.
** Hunter suspects Abel of malicious intent and no longer trusts him; however, he can't avoid Abel or stop seeing him for therapy sessions without making him suspicious of him.
** Eclipsa spend three centuries crystallized but to her, it only felt like a few days have passed. She's still processing the idea that her old human friend became a tyrannical murderer.

Turning back the clock, we take a look at how's Hunter been doing over the past week since his trip from the Underworld.

* CrushBlush: Adrian/Walter and Artemis share one after the latter hides the former from Malphas in the Forbidden Stacks.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The chapter's end teaser ends up revealing that Cross joins Luz, Amity, and King during the LCU's version of "Edge of the World".

* WeHardlyKnewYe: Howard Hatesew, a worker in the castle's library whom Hunter, and previously Artemis, asked to look into the Horned King, is murdered after finding something major before Hunter can meet up with him after the gallery on Frieday night.

* BadBadActing: When Belos decides to tell Hunter that he's Philip Clawthorne (a fact the grimwalker has known for weeks), Hunter doesn't initially react then gives a ''very'' over-the-top moment of exaggerated surprise. Belos sees that as proof he already knows.

** As part of his cover story, Hunter brings up leaving the castle to find Titan blood, being left in critical condition after getting mauled, and staying at Eda's childhood home with their families. He also brings up Amity's own cover story about getting kidnapped by the Tarot Guild.

* ContinuityNod: Before Hunter talks with Belos Monday morning after he comes back to the castle, the emperor gives his statement concerning Amity.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Grimwalker Deterioration is this, and panicking makes it worse. Artemis grew scars all over her face and blood leaked out, using magic causes cracks to grow on her hands and spread across her body, which rotted until her mouth gushed blood and she swelled up, bursting apart.
* CrushBlush: Adrian/Walter and Artemis share one after the latter hides the former from Malphas.

* DidntSeeThatComing: While Belos isn't surprised that Hunter knows Cross and Lilith had been involved in their meeting somehow (though he assumes she introduced the boys to each other), he ''is'' surprised that Hunter didn't learn Cross was related to Lilith.

* {{Expy}}: More from ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' are introduced; Dogma Taggs is one of Brick (retaining his fear of the dark), Chantley is one of Eva (being easy to anger), Barbara Marlo to Zoey (a redhead with a commando persona), and Spencer (who's only mentioned) is that of Mike (an oracle who allows his spirits to possess him when he needs their help, somewhat like Mike's alternate identities).

* FriendOrIdolDecision: The Horned King monster restrains Adrian/Walter and tells Professor Cuddlebuns to give him the Planespheric Disc piece or he'll break his friend's arm; Cuddlebuns reluctantly agrees.

* ItsAllAboutMe: After interviewing all of BIG, Hunter and Leonte see that all of them are egomaniacs in their own ways (even though Scarmeron and Joana have ideas on how to improve the team), but they don't replace anyone besides Skrap for the sake of keeping an eye on them and testing their loyalty to the emperor.

* OneSteveLimit: When Oberon takes Meteora from Philip, he's accompanied by a Puck, with the narration making it clear it's a different Fae than Puck Goodfellow.

* PyrrhicVictory: While the Boiling Isles Guardians does succeed in busting a Tarot Guild trafficking location, all the traffickers off themselves and they're shocked when Leonte announces all the victims they just saved are going to be inducted into covens effective immediately.

** Regardless of how much time he spent away from Belos, what he learned about the tyrant, and his motive for working with his "uncle" now, Hunter still has a need to prove himself useful to Belos since a lifetime of doing so can't be erased.
** Eclipsa spend three decades crystallized but to her, it only felt like a few days have passed. She's still processing the idea that her old human friend became a tyrannical murderer.

* TitleSequence: To commemorate the third anniversary, the intro for the "Tarot Guild" arc is included in this chapter.

* BadBoss

* CruelAndUnusualDeath

* DoubleAgent: Hunter and Eclipsa have both started workimg together to learn Belos' true plans for the Day of Unity and his connections to the Horned King.

* SureLetsGoWithThat

** Eclipsa spend three decades crystallized but to her, it was only a few days ago. She's still processing the idea that her old human friend became a tyrannical murderer.

* ItsAllAboutMe: After interviewing all of BIG, Hunter and Leonte see that all of them are egomaniacs in their own ways (even though Scarmeron and Joana have ideas on how to improve the team), but they don't replace anyone besides Skrap for the sake of keeping an eye on them and testing their loyalty to the emperor. He also knows about the Drakescales having two members of Clawthorne blood.
* KnewItAllAlong: Belos admits that he knows the Clawthornes have deduced his past identity was Philip Clawthorne and they haven't announced it to the rest of the Isles to avoid him coming after them.
