With the Dark Hand having stolen the Heart of Kandrakar, the heroes must call on some familiar faces to help them infiltrate the auction where Valmont is planning to sell it.
- Adaptational Early Appearance: Jeek is introduced here, in an original chapter set between the third and fourth episodes of Season 1 of W.I.T.C.H., well ahead of his canonical first appearance in "The Underwater Mines".
- Adaptation Expansion: Like the previous chapter, this one isn't based on a canonical JCA or W.I.T.C.H. episode, instead being wholly original.
- Armor of Invincibility: The Armor of the Crystal Skull that Wong barters with at the auction. When one touches the magical crystal skull with their blood, it turns into a large red skeleton made out of solid magic. The person is inside the skeleton and able to control its movements. The armor cannot be destroyed by normal weapons, and the only way to dispel it is to remove the skull, a feat that requires an immense amount of strength.
- Auction of Evil: Valmont hosts an auction for all of his recently acquired artifacts (including the stolen Heart of Kandrakar), which is attended by all of the Chan Clan's other prominent human criminal enemies, as well as Wong and Cedric (who are there for the Heart).
- Bare-Handed Blade Block: Will does this with Bartholomew Chang's clawed prosthesis.
- Big "NO!": Valmont when he loses his Armor of the Crystal Skull.
- Chain Pain: Will uses a chain to fight Hoyle.
- Continuity Nod: Dr. Necrosis still believes that Jackie is Agent Tag, his arch-enemy.
- Enemy Mine: When Chang realizes that all the present villains share animosity towards the heroes, he tricks them to put on hold their quarrel over the Heart by ordering them to attack the heroes.
- Evil Versus Evil: The auction ends up breaking down into all the attendees fighting each other in addition to the heroes.
- Hand Blast: Dr. Necrosis fights with a gauntlet that fires laser beams.
- Insult Friendly Fire: When Jade calls Cedric a cowardly snake, she apologizes to Viper (even though she's not really a snake).
- Kneel Before Zod:
- While Valmont fights the heroes with the Armor of the Crystal Skull, he demands them to bow before "the master of the Dark Hand, and the soon-to-be master of the world".
- Phobos tells Finn, Ratso and Chow to bow before him when he decides to make them his new minions. When they're about to refuse, he simply uses telekinesis to force them to, like Wong does canonically.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: During the Mêlée à Trois, Cedric and Wong are the only villains who flee before the heroes can soundly beat them.
- Logical Weakness: As Origami is made out of paper, Taranee is able to scare him into trying to flee from her by threatening to burn him with her fire power. When he catches fire and dives into water, his body becomes too wet for him to fold it.
- Mêlée à Trois: The auction eventually breaks down into a brawl between all of the attendees over the Heart of Kandrakar, even before the J-Team and Guardians get involved.
- Mook Carryover: After the Dark Hand is defeated, Cedric and Wong take Finn, Ratso and Chow with them to Phobos, who forces them to work for him because he needs information on Earth.
- Mythology Gag: When Will fights Chang, she ends up using two of his spare hands as weapons, just like Jackie in the show. She even uses the same ones (spoon and tooth brush), and gets a similar quip from Jade.
- Pass the Popcorn: When the J-Team and Guardians join the battle royale that the auction breaks down into, Jade, Paco, and Blunk help themselves to some popcorn.
- Pragmatic Villainy: Hak Foo suggests using the stolen Heart to empower the Dark Hand. Valmont states that he's not interested in using it himself, but rather plans on auctioning it off with the other artifacts the Dark Hand have stolen. He justifies this by pointing out how the last couple of times the Dark Hand has meddled in magic, they were bankrupted into near oblivion.
- Seen It All: While the rest of the Dark Hand is shocked by Cedric's appearance, Chow just sighs that nothing surprises him anymore.
