* AmbiguousSyntax: Eclipsa was in the same position once, and responds to young Moon's burdens of being queen with "I know how you feel". Is Eclipsa relating to being made queen at such a young age and having to decide the fate of Mewni? Or her inability to decide which boy she likes?

** Li'l Chauncey was not covered with arrows.
** Moon didn't have a look of utter hatred in her face, but rather a fierce concentration in her eyes. She also wasn't mounting Chauncey.
** Toffee wasn't bearing an expression of fear in his face. Upon realizing his finger wasn't growing back, he showed a mild annoyance and simply left the battlefield.
** Moon wasn't shooting down at him from the air. They were on even ground, standing in front of each other.

* NotSoStoic: During most of the episode, Moon is never shown crying over her mother, except in front of Eclipsa. Queen of darkness or not, she's still Moon's family member, so of course the young queen would feel comfortable enough to cry around her.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Deconstructed. One side wants to go to war (Rhombulus, Mina) since killing a Queen warrants such a response but the other side (Omnitrax, Count Mildrew, and Hekapoo) stay they should sign the peace treaty since that will quickly end the war. Either reasons for the side are valid and also can be counterargued, and the decision to decides what to do only puts more emotional strain on the young Moon.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: Ultimately, the position Moon is put in: due to her DealWithTheDevil with Eclipsa, she has to pick between Eclipsa or Toffee, as killing the latter will free the former. Ultimately, she still can't trust Eclipsa enough to see her as this trope and chooses to cripple Toffee, but not kill him rather than free the Queen of Darkness.



* TakeAThirdOption: Moon clearly intended to kill Toffee at once with Eclipsa's spell, but instead just crippled Toffee knowing that all the monsters' bravado was because of the Septarians' nigh invulnerability, so seeing their general incapable of regenerating destroyed their morale.

** Moon's options are continuing with the peace treaties despite her mother's murderer being on the rampage or restarting the war in retaliation for said murder. She ultimately chooses to defeat Toffee and scatter his army instead, taking retaliation only on the one actually responsible.
