* EasilyForgiven: Thorn Rose is very quickly forgiven by Sonic and the scavengers after all the trouble she caused them. This is helped by their own acknowledgement that, while she went about it to harshly, she only snapped like she did because the Scavengers were on a path to completely deplete the forest of its resources and ignored most of her initial attempts to get them to stop.

Sonic tricks her into reopening back up the top to make her see that, by blocking out all of the light, she is doing more harm than good.

Thorn uses the Prism shard to restore the forest, but is so driven to banish her former friends, friends that she blocks any opening in the canopy she could can find. Sonic tricks her into reopening back up punching a hole in the top canopy to make her see that, by blocking out all of the light, she is doing more harm than good. good.
** Sonic's trick is itself an example, as he smashes Thorn's hammer in half and sends the head flying. Only afterwards does he realise that the head contained the shard, which he needs to get back home, and he's just sent it flying across the jungle. Luckily, Birdie helps him out by spotting it from the sky.



* JerkassRealization: Back in his dimension, Sonic is... less than impressed how one palm tree Amy chose has more sentimental value than the others. Seeing Thorn's dedication to protecting the Great Green makes him eventually see how precious their time together are around that one tree.

to:

* EnvironmentalSymbolism: A rather unsubtle example. With the power of the Prism shard, Thorn makes the jungle's canopy thick enough to completely block out the sun and plunge the ground into darkness, reflecting her own [[WellIntentionedExtremist (well-intentioned) villainy]]. Both Sonic and (post-HeelRealization) Thorn herself remark that with the forest so dark, she has [[LiteralMetaphor lost her way]], and it takes destroying part of the canopy and [[CueTheSun letting the light back in]] to make her realise how wrong she had been.

* KarmaHoudini: Thorn Rose gets no punishment for attacking Sonic and almost dooming the scavengers to starve to death, partially because the Scavengers acknowledge their hand in her snap.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Thorn finally realizes that blocking her "scavenger" friends of ''every'' entrance topside, she also blocks out the light that gives the plant life below life, including the Great Green she swore to protect.

* SelfServingMemory: A flashback from the Scavengers point of view shows that Thorn apparently attacked her former friends out of nowhere simply due to [[BerserkButton dropping a few berries they were picking for food]]. A later flashback from Thorn's perspective explains the Scavengers were taking way more berries than they needed, and despite her trying to explain how they were hurting the forest her warnings fell on deaf ears, with her friends damaging several trees in the process, leading to her attacking them.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: This episode elaborates on what Thorn had mentioned in the previous episode about her and the Scavengers being
friends damaging several trees in once. Indeed, both she and Prim say the process, leading to her attacking them.trope name verbatim before having a GoodTimesMontage about the friendship and ([[SelfServingMemory in their minds]]) how it ended.

Afterwards, instead of properly explaining herself, Thorn aggressively took on the role of a monster and ignored their pleas of starvation. Both sides acknowledge that the whole mess could’ve been avoided if they had just been more willing to hear the other side out.
