* DoubleMeaningTitle: The episode is full of examples of things and people being ''tied'' and ''bound'' in various senses.
** Catra spends most of the episode tied up.
** Adora needs to bond with Swift Wind while putting a relay tower (that's meant to connect Light Hope to her planetary mainframe) back together (which she at one point tries to do by binding it with rope).
** The bond between Bow and Glimmer get exploited by Catra to mess with them, but it clearly also strengthens them both.
** For all that Catra has tried to sever the bond between her and Adora, touching on it is the one way Glimmer manages to get to Catra.
** Scorpia is clearly bound to Catra, and Catra relies on Scorpia to come rescue her even as she disparages ThePowerOfFriendship.
** Possibly in counterpoint to all of the above, Entrapta is equally happy working for the Horde as for the Alliance - alone among the characters, she's [[TheUnfettered without any ties.]]
