8	* BecomingTheMask: Originally Seraphina hits on Hook Foot and gives him a necklace to keep a stolen pearl off her hands until the heat dies down, but eventually she really falls for him.
9	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: Subverted. The evil-looking fishmen appear to be the villains at first, but are actually law enforcement officers that are trying to capture the beautiful Seraphina for stealing a priceless artifact.
10	* BeYourself: Rapunzel advises to Hook Foot to "just be yourself" when he is nervous about his date with Seraphina. It works, as they have a nice date and she really falls for him.
11	* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Eugene admits that Rapunzel is right, that love sometimes has a way of happening on its own. While Rapunzel admits that Eugene is right, the love is something you need to work at sometimes.

13	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Hook Foot when he's explains his "non-date" dinner with Seraphina.
14	-->'''Hook Foot:''' No, it's not a date. We're just gettin' together to eat and, you know, uh, talk, and, uh....... Wait! I have a date!
15	* GoodIsNotNice: The fishmen are hostile towards the heroes, considering them expendable in apprehending Seraphina. And would have killed them without a second thought if not for Seraphina surrendering herself to spare them.
16	* HeroicSacrifice: Seraphina gives herself up to the fishmen so they will leave Hook Foot and his friends alone.
17	* HostageForMacGuffin: As part of her HeroicSacrifice, Seraphina threatens to destroy the stolen artifact if the fishmen don't agree to her terms.
18	* ShoutOut: The title of this episode is one to ''Film/TheresSomethingAboutMary''.
