9
10	!!Tropes:
11	* BaitAndSwitch: When Croaker points out to Toadie how the Wartwood villagers have had to collectively [[TookALevelInBadass shape up]] under the threat of Andrias' Tyranny, the camera shows Maddie putting on a spiked Knuckleduster, [[MusclesAreMeaningful Loggle]] doing one-armed push ups, and Wally... sitting in a wooden chair and calmly carving a wooden duck. [[SubvertedTrope Then]], he flips around the duck to show the other side is more scarred and badass-looking whilst giving a DeathGlare.
12	* BewareTheNiceOnes: The meek and unassertive Toadie ends up becoming a fierce and ruthless leader when pushed too far.
13	* BothSidesHaveAPoint: While Anne is right to be concerned that the others were captured by the Marauders, Sasha is also correct that her team is competent enough to escape on their own, and they risk being captured themselves if they try to help.
14	* TheBusCameBack: Barry, the candy man from Season 1, returns in this episode as the leader of the Marauders... [[OhNoNotAgain and gets turned into a bird again by Maddie]].
15	* CardCarryingVillain: Barry. It's never stated if the kids revealed his hidden pettiness from season 1, but Barry has dropped all pretense of being nice in public, shown when he removes his helmet which would have kept his identity secret from his fellow townsfolk. He also explains what his and the Marauders' plans are, showing he is now being openly petty and selfish in public.
16	* ChekhovsBoomerang: Back in season 1, Maddie felt Barry was too dangerous of a magic user to be left unchecked and wanted him to stay a bird permanently. When Maddie gets Barry cornered, she immediately throws a curse at him.
17	* CrossPoppingVeins: Sasha gets these when she exasperatedly explains to Anne who the Marauders are and how they're 'a huge unwashed thorn' in her side, indicating her frustration with their wanton raids and leeching off their valuable resources.
18	* ADayInTheLimelight: This episode gives some more focus to Toadie.
19	* DeusExitMachina: Mrs. Croaker, the most experienced member of her team and a skilled fighter, is knocked out during the rebels' first escape attempt, forcing the others (especially Toadie) to step up.
20	* DramaticIrony: Name-dropped by Wally after Sasha outlines their plans to 'thieve from the thieves'.
21	* FillerVillain: The Marauders, led by Barry, are unaffiliated with either Andrias or the Resistance, but serve as a problematic threat to the resistance due to hijacking their weapon supplies, forcing them to confront them before resuming operations against Andrias' army. It turns out that Barry is [[TheQuisling willing to make deals with Andrias]] to sell him slaves or resistance members for extra cash, but otherwise the group isn't part of his forces.
22	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Mrs. Croaker gives this to Loggle when he starts having a nervous breakdown after they've been captured, lamenting that he's too beautiful to die. When Toadie [[TookALevelInBadass shapes up as a leader]] when she's knocked unconscious during their first escape attempt, he gives ''multiple'' ones to Loggle as a form of punctuation to his plan to break out.
23	-->'''Loggle:''' Enough with the slapping!
24	* ItsQuietTooQuiet: Sasha says this word for word when the group arrives at the seemingly deserted Marauder camp. And as you’d expect, they were walking into an ambush.
25	* JustDesserts: The ending implies that Barry will end up as a meal for his own marauders.
26	* ThePenIsMightier: Toadie ends up using his pencil stubs as weapons.
27	* TheQuisling: While Barry and his Marauders are an independent group, they are willing to make deals with Andrias and sell slaves to him.
28	* RightBehindMe: Toadie gets this when he thinks he accidentally blew Maddie up by knocking one of her magic pouches into her face.
29	-->'''Toadie:''' (''Looking at the cloud of smoke where Maddie used to be'') Oh my Gosh! I blew up Maddie!\
30	'''Maddie:''' (''Offscreen'') You wish. (''Camera {{pan}} to reveal Maddie standing right behind Toadie'') Sup.\
31	'''Toadie:''' [[ScreamsLikeALittleGirl WAARGH!]]
32	* SchmuckBait: The Marauder camp seems to be completely empty and there is a tent with several signs which claim that the loot is inside. Unsurprisingly it is a trap.
33	* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: Maddie is able to see through a spider's eyes after whispering an incantation to it, allowing the rebels to locate where the Marauders are keeping their weapons.
34	* ShoutOut: The episode's title (and the accompanying promo art) is a reference to ''Series/CharliesAngels''.
35	* SlasherSmile: Just before Maddie turns Barry into a giant bird again, she sports an ear-to-ear grin and nods while laughing menacingly in response to his RapidFireNo[=s=].
36	* SmokeOut: Some of Maddie's magic pouches have this effect, allowing her to achieve OffscreenTeleportation.
37	* SoundEffectBleep: When Barry gets turned into a bird again and sees his fellow Marauders want to eat him, Barry goes "Holy..." punctuated by a squawk.
38	* TemptingFate: One of Barry's last lines in the episode after his camp has been blown up and all their supplies stolen is, "This couldn't possibly get any worse?" For him, [[JustDesserts it]] [[EatenAlive does]].
39	* TookALevelInBadass: The ExtremeDoormat Toadie becomes a fierce leader and fighter after he accidentally jeopardizes the rebels' mission.
40	* UncertainDoom: While Barry's death is not certain, his chances are not great as he is a giant chicken surrounded by very hungry Marauders.
41	* VocalDissonance: The huge marauder Brian speaks with a ridiculously high, squeaky voice.
42	* WeHaveReserves: {{Subverted\|Trope}}. Anne gets frustrated because she thinks Sasha only sees the residents of Wartwood as soldiers. Sasha assures her that she does care, having spent months with them, but also has to think of the bigger picture and trust that they can get themselves out of trouble.
43	* WeWait: When everyone except Sasha and Anne are captured, Anne wants to rescue them, but Sasha tells her that would just get them captured as well and it's better to wait for the others to escape by themselves.
44	* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Croaker is frustrated by how Toadie always wants to be lookout because she can tell he's got more in him. She's vindicated by the end of the episode.
