  • The entire sequence of Felicity pricking her finger. She doesn't immediately succumb to the spell, staying awake just long enough to beg for anyone to help her as she loses consciousness, right before pleading with Primrose to forgive her for disobeying her orders. When the old woman than reveals herself as Odelia, her evil cackling is distinctive enough that Felicity's parents realize right away what's most likely happened and fear for their daughter's well being. It's then Odelia points out what kind of future Felicity will endure when she awakens, pointing out Primrose's "100 years" addition means Felicity will outlive everyone's she ever cared about, while her parents will slowly age and die knowing how utterly alone Felicity will be.
    • Primrose spends every ounce of magic she has to freeze the kingdom in time so Felicity won't lose her loved ones, and vice versa. But this takes so much out of her, she lies down beside Felicity and her body slowly shrinks until she's become an actual primrose. She then spends the next century trapped in her rose form, unable to move or do anything but communicate magically until the right prince comes along. And when he finally does, Primrose ends up committing suicide via Heroic Sacrifice begging Prince Richard to throw her flower form at Odelia in order to use her last bit of power to freeze Odelia long enough for Richard to awaken Felicity.
    • Odelia grows so desperate to stop further princes from reaching the castle, she creates a bottomless pit that opens whenever someone gets close enough to the forest of thorns. And we actually see some poor unsuspecting prince and his horse fall inside, and if he didn't spend eternity falling he was most likely crushed to death when the pit closed.
