* ProperlyParanoid: Acat volunteers to accompany Zatz on his quest for Maya and promises to show restraint. Lady Micte knows better than to trust her, and makes a point of asking Zatz to make sure that Maya is brought back alive. Sure enough, Acat gets a little too much pleasure in hurting Maya, especially after Zatz voices his concern for her; Zatz's involvement is the only reason Maya comes out of this alive.
* ProphecyTwist: Maya discovers, with a little help with the kooky old lady, that the Tecas had the prophecy all wrong. It wasn't about the Great Eagle and the Three Jaguars; instead, the Rooster (a wizard), the Skull (an archer), the puma (a warrior), and the Little Eagle (Maya herself) will be the ones to fight the dark gods and save the world.

!!Tropes present in this episode:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Acat and Zatz seem to be in a relationship, but while Acat is shown to be flirty with Zatz, he barely seems able to stand her. Zatz has enough after Acat tries to kill Maya by stabbing her InTheBack, and ends it off with her.
* AmazonChaser: Downplayed. Despite the grim circumstances of their meeting (him returning her brothers' {{wrecked weapon}}s to her), Zatz is impressed with Maya's courage when she uses two broken arrows to hold him at bay. Later, he describes her to his father as "courageous, loyal, and beautiful".
* BattleDiscretionShot: The Teca army, spearheaded by the King and his three sons, is charging against the sadistically smirking God Of War. Cue opening card.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Maya's brothers swear to fight the gods not because of the prophecy, but in order to protect their sister from being sacrificed.
* CharacterDeath: Lance, Daggers, Shield, and the entire Teca army are killed by Lord Mictlan.
* CurbStompBattle: The God of War, alone, against the entire Teca army. Lord Mictlan annihilated them.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: The part of the true prophecy that Maya reads aloud says that the Rooster, Skull, Puma, and Little Eagle will fight a "two-headed serpent".
* GoodStepmother: Queen Teca tells Maya that even though she was angry at her husband for cheating on her with the Goddess of Death, she couldn't be angry with Maya, the child born of that affair. Instead, she immediately embraced Maya and raised her as her own.
* GoodParents: Despite his intimidating appearance, Camazotz, the God of Bats, is shown to care a great deal about his son. Zatz feels comfortable confiding his growing feelings for Maya to his father; Camazotz listen to his son's babbling and looks worried when Lord Mictlan sends Zatz after Maya again with the explicit threat that this will be his last chance.
* IShallTauntYou: Acat taunts Maya by hiding in the shadows and asking her to "come out and plaaaay!" In response, Maya starts calling Acat a chicken for not facing her head-on.
-->'''Acat:''' That stupid half-breed [[NobodyCallsMeChicken did]] ''[[NobodyCallsMeChicken not]]'' [[NobodyCallsMeChicken just call me out]]!
* JokeAndReceive: Queen Teca asks the King to be safe as the army is marching off to the Divine Gate, only for the King to reply that, "I have a battle jaguar! What could be safer?" He meant it as a joke, but Chiapa is the only reason he survives the battle with the God of War.
* LockAndLoadMontage: Maya is shown putting on her mother's old armor and her father's old sword, Eagle Claw.
* NotSoAboveItAll: The usually stone-faced Zatz watches the [[CatFight fight between Maya and Acat]] with a smile on his face.
* ProperlyParanoid: Acat volunteers to accompany Zatz on his quest for Maya and promises to show restraint. Lady Micte knows better than to trust her, and makes a point of asking Zatz to make sure that Maya is brought back alive. Sure enough, Acat gets a little too much pleasure in hurting Maya, especially after Zatz voices his concern for her; Zatz's involvement is the only reason Maya comes out of this alive.

* SacrificialLion: Maya's brothers are among the God of War's victims, showing that Lord Mitclan is a dangerous foe and that even the best warriors of Teca can't protect Maya from him.
* TellMeAboutMyFather: Mother, in this case. Maya asks her parents about her birth mother, wanting to know why Lady Micte suddenly took an interest in her and wants to sacrifice her now, after fifteen years. She also asks them why they didn't tell her the truth about her parentage sooner.
* TemptingFate:
** Maya lays out her plan to get the Rooster, Skull, and Puma, which will be entirely fight-less and safe. She's proven wrong before she's even left Teca territory.
** Queen Teca tells Maya that, "If you're not in Teca, it will be harder for Lord Mictlan to find you." His ''servants'', on the other hand...
* WreckedWeapon: Zatz returns the Lance, Daggers, and Shield's broken weapons to their father and sister, and offers them his condolences for their loss.
* WomanScorned: Acat does not appreciate Zatz calling Maya's name out of concern for her. Her response is to grab Eagle Claw and try to MurderTheHypotenuse.
