History Recap / StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS2E41Starcrushed

* SympathyForTheDevil: As horrible as Ludo is, Moon just couldn't help but feel so bad for him, and knows deep down, he is so insecure over his family issues that deep down, there is a shred of decency in him.

* BrickJoke: At the wild party, Oskar accidentally flings his keytar high into the air. During the credits, the keytar finally crashes down in front of the Diaz household. Also, Oskar suggested that the keytar would fly to Mars (the planet). Marco is an alternate name for Mars (the Roman god). So in a way it did fly to Mars.

* ShipperOnDeck: [=StarFan13=] squees when Star admits that maybe she did have a crush on Marco once, and is disappointed when Star claims she no longer does. And then when Star confesses to Marco, [=StarFan13=] faints. Also, Pony Head scoffs at Star's denial of her crush, and gleefully reacts to the public confession (which has the entire rest of the room in stunned silence) with gleeful declarations that she had called it.

* SpecialEditionTitle: The usual bouncy credits theme is replaced by one that gives off the same vibe as those seen in ''Gravity Falls''. We see a quiet exterior shot of Marco's house, minus Star's additions, to drive home what a big deal this episode is.
* SequelHook: Toffee tells Queen Moon that he's coming to get his missing finger back.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: Janna, [=StarFan13=] and Pony Head knew that Star has a crush on Marco.

* OhCrap: Star has this reaction when [[TheDreaded her mother tells her Toffee has returned.]]

* BrokenPedestal: With her crush goggles for Oskar now gone, Star has started to realize he's an idiot.

* HealingHands: Lekmet's magic is {{Necromancy}} that [[DarkIsNotEvil saves his allies from staying killed by Toffee.]]

* NoTimeToExplain: Star tells Marco her feelings towards him but she doesn't have time to explain why she has to leave or why she had to tell him. Marco still tries to get one, but she's already gone.

* SilenceIsGolden: After Marco chases Star to her room and sees that Star has disappeared and the room is following suit, there is nothing but dead silence during the credits. There really are no words to describe what had just happened without killing the moment.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with Star finally telling Marco how she feels about him before having to leave with Moon, the Commission all dead [[OnlyMostlyDead (Although it might be temporary)]], and the whereabouts of Glossaryck and the book remains unknown.

* DownerEnding: After Star and Marco reconcile, Moon tells Star that she has to leave Earth because Toffee has come back stronger than ever and drained the Magic High Commission of their magic. After Star tells Marco that she does have a crush on him, she tearfully runs to her room and when Marco chases her in order to talk to her, she has already left and her room is fading away.
* TheDreaded: Moon and Star give OhCrap reactions when they find out that Toffee's back. In order to protect her daughter from Toffee, Moon tells Star that she needs to return to Mewni. To put things into perspective, Star was arguing about how Moon was just controlling her life again when she asked for Star to come back to Mewni, but as soon as Toffee was brought up, she immediately realized the severity of the situation and agreed to return, possibly to never return to Earth again.

* HeroicBSOD: When Star confesses her crush on Marco, Jackie is in a stunned silence and Janna momentarily glanced at Jackie in order to see how she is during the confession.

* IDontWantToRuinOurFriendship: Star is worried about losing her friendship with Marco after her crush was publicly revealed and they agree to pretend that her Song Day never happened. Star decides to have a fun summer with him and not act on her crush. Once she finds she's leaving with the possibility of never coming back, she decides she might as well tell him how ''she'' feels anyways.

* ManaDrain: Toffee siphons off the magic from the Comission members when he beats them.

* RaceForYourLove: A (maybe?) platonic version, after Star admits her crush on Marco and tearfully runs for her room. Though Marco doesn't feel the same way, he chases after her for an explanation but is too late because Star has already left and her room is fading away.

* SilenceIsGolden: Just as Marco chases Star to her room, he's just speechless once he enters the room, and at the end, there is nothing but dead silence during the credits. There really are no words to describe what had just happened without killing the moment.
* StunnedSilence: The audience especially Jackie and Marco when Star publicly confesses her feelings to Marco. Except for Pony Head, who brags that she "called it."

* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Before returning to Mewni, Star confesses she ''does'' have a crush on Marco, but can't explain why she's telling him that very moment.
* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: Jackie has Marco try to guess what she's thinking to test how well they connect. He guesses she wants him to kiss her, but she actually wanted him to feed her pizza nuggets.

He then curbstomps the entire Magic Commission and steals their magic, seemingly even resulting in Lekmet's death, with only Queen Moon managing to escape. The season ends with Toffee undoubtedly victorious. And [[OhCrap coming for Star]].
