4	!!Tropes:
5
6	* AerithAndBob: Tom's parents.
7	-->'''River:''' Hello, Wrathmelior! Hi, Dave.\
8	'''Dave:''' Hey.
9	* CallBack: Tom brings up Star's Song Day in "Face the Music", saying TheReveal that she had a crush on Marco was a wake-up call for him that Star wasn't interested in getting back together with Tom.
10	* DanceOfRomance: The long-awaited dance between Star and Tom was initially for them to just get it over with for political reasons, but one thing led to another and it actually results in Star agreeing to go out with Tom again.
11	* FauxAffablyEvil: Subverted. At first it seems as though Tom not asking Star to dance is a "club snub", a deliberate lack of etiquette meant to offend her. However, he was attempting to give her space after an epiphany about Star having a crush on Marco. When Star club snubs Tom to the point of asking the MC to dance when the two of them were the only remaining pair, he's genuinely hurt and leaves the ball.
12	* FlightOfRomance: During their DanceOfRomance, Star and Tom's magic causes them to ascend off the floor in a spiral of pink energy and flames.
13	* HalfHumanHybrid: Apparently Tom's parents are a gigantic demon Queen and her tiny Mewman husband.
14	* HeIsNotMyBoyfriend: Star has to bluntly tell Tom that she and Marco aren't an item, even after Ruberiot's song in "Face the Music" which he and everyone was present to hear.
15	* HeightAngst: Wrathmelior, Tom's demon mother, an utter giant, is so large that she bumps into the ballroom chandelier, much to her annoyance. And when she goes to sit down with the other royals, she had to bend over and crouch because otherwise she wouldn't fit.
16	* InnocentlyInsensitive: Tom's efforts to respect Star's feeling end up angering her more, because his demon nature and anger issues make social interaction not his strong suit.
17	* ModestRoyalty: Wrathmelior (Tom's mother) has a short pixie cut and wears a LittleBlackDress for the Silver Bell Ball, which compared to the RequisiteRoyalRegalia worn by most of the attending royals is simplistic yet very saucy. The tiny purse she carries looks like something out of modern fashion.
18	* MyBloodRunsHot: Wrathmelior cries tears of ''lava''.
19	* NotQuiteTheRightThing: Tom wanted to give Star space, but as noble as that is, he wasn't taking the right approach. Due to his LackOfEmpathy nature, he ended up acting like he was ignoring Star to anger her.
20	* PassThePopcorn: Pony Head has a bag of popcorn when she watches Star ask the MC for a dance instead of Tom.
21	* PhoneaholicTeenager: Star's cousin, Rock Johansen, is less interested in the dance (or Star's attempts to say "Hi" to him) and more interested in his {{Magitek}} cell phone.
22	* PlayingHardToGet: Tom and Star spend the night "club snubbing" one another.
23	* PoorCommunicationKills: Tom wasn't deliberately trying to "club snub" her; he was giving her space because he thought Star and Marco were an item, but he didn't understand the social implications of his actions. This reveal only makes Star angrier, and the two have a brief (but fierce) argument.
24	* SacredHospitality: A big deal is made over Tom and Star's supposed breaches of etiquette towards one another during the ball, to the point of River and Dave getting into a physical altercation.
25	* SharpDressedMan: In contrast to his father Dave's medieval royal clothing, Tom wears a classy white suit.
26	* SoProudOfYou: Wrathmelior's tearful applauding of her son's magnificent dance with Star has shades of this.
27	* StrongFamilyResemblance: In this episode, we get to learn where Tom got his looks from: His Mewman father, King Dave, and his giant demon mother, Queen Wrathmelior. Tom is Dave's near-splitting image, while the horns, three eyes, sharp teeth, strawberry hair, and pointed ears came from Wrathmelior.
28	* SunglassesAtNight: Lampshaded; Tom makes his BigEntrance wearing sunglasses after dark, and Star sarcastically calls him "classy" for it.
29	* ThirdEye: Queen Wrathmelior has three eyes much like her son, Tom.
30	* TinyGuyHugeGirl: This episode introduces Tom's parents, Lord David and Lady Wrathmelior. David is an average-looking human fellow, while Wrathmelior is a [[GiantWoman giantess]] who looks like a BigRedDevil.
31	* TitleDrop: When Tom appears to be PlayingHardToGet, Pony Head tells Star she's been "club snubbed".
