History Recap / VoltronLegendaryDefenderS3E3

* {{Touche}}: Lotor begrudgingly compliments Allura for luring him in the nitrade gas and taking down one of his planes wings.

* DeadlyGas: Thasaryx is filled with nitrade gas.

* AcePilot: Lotor gets to show of this particular skill throughout the entire episode.

* JustToyingWithThem: Zethrid yells at Lotor to stop messing with the paladins and tells him to just start wrecking them.

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Zethrid asks why Lotor doesn't just shoot the Paladins and Zethrid explains that Lotor and the Lions are in a place of concentrated nitrade gas. Shooting anything in that area would create a huge explosion.

* IWillFindYou: Lotor says this as he searches for Allura who's hiding from him.

* WhatWouldXDo: Allura can't seem to get Blue to work with her, so she ponders how to get the Lion to listen and asks "What would Lance do?". She attempts to flirt with the Lion in a Lance-like manner... but it doesn't work.

* BrutalHonesty: Lance calls out Keith for his decisions and how it's breaking up the team. Even when Keith realizes his mistakes, Lance doesn't deny it, but assures Keith that they could still fix their mistake.
* DontThinkFeel: How Allura finally manages to get a handle on piloting the Blue Lion. She compares it to how Lance instinctually figured out how to use it back in the first season.

* PinkMeansFeminine: Averted. While the most feminine of the female paladins does wear a pink uniform, Allura explains to Lance that she chose the color because of its significance in Altean culture (which has nothing to do with femininity).

* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: Hunk says this as one of his taglines, however you can also see this literally once Allura bonds withe Blue and begins to turn Lotor's plan against him.

* WhamShot: Lance runs out of the room, leaving Allura alone with the Blue Lion... and then its particle barrier deactivates, marking her as the new Blue Paladin.

* FingerForcedSmile: Ezor makes the leader of the Fuiji do this and cheerfully notes, "Smile, we're a team now."

* HowDoIShotWeb: The team has a new member who hasn't piloted a lion before, and two of the original members have switched to new lions that hand;e differently. As a result, three of the five paladins fly so badly that Lotor comes to the conclusion that Zarkon took out half the team and they're breaking in a new flight roster.

* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: Allura claimed that the way she used the Blue Lion was to "think like Lance." Lance is obviously flattered until he stops mid-sentence to ask, "are you calling me dumb?"

* FingerForcedSmile: Ezoar makes the leader of the Fuiji do this and cheerfully notes, "Smile, we're a team now."

* NothingPersonal: Ezoar apologizes to Naurti when she notes that the paladins flying into the gas planet would be blind.

* WhatWouldXDo?: Allura can't seem to get Blue to work with her, so she ponders how to get the Lion to listen and asks "What would Lance do?". She attempts to flirt with the Lion in a Lance-like manner... but it doesn't work.

* ITakeOffenseToThatOne: Allura claimed that the way she used the Blue Lion was to "think like Lance." Lance is obviously flattered until he stops mid-sentence to ask, "are you calling me dumb?"
