* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Eugene and Cassandra's inability to work together leads directly to the Stabbington brothers being able to escape their jail cell. Bonus points that it happened by actually breaking something - namely, the jack they were supposed to use to pry their cell door open. It really didn't help that the brothers heard them from below on how to cobble together the device.

Cassandra and Eugene have been fighting constantly, and Rapunzel is so tired of their bickering that she comes up with a drastic solution: she locks them both in a cell in the royal dungeon, then leaves hidden clues that will tell them how to escape, which will force them to work together to solve the puzzle (at least in theory). Rapunzel marvels at how much she's able to accomplish without her friends' arguments distracting her. Unfortunately, the plan has a couple of flaws. First, it's anyone's guess if Eugene and Cass will be able to cooperate, and for how long. Second, the Stabbington Brothers happen to be locked in the cell beneath them, and when they hear Eugene's voice it motivates them to break out and seek {{revenge}} against him.
