Tropes
- An Aesop:
- You shouldn't have to give up what you love just because a friend doesn't like it.
- Having friends is more important than making everything go your way.
- A Day in the Limelight: Clio gets her chance to shine in this episode.
- Armor-Piercing Question: "What's more important, having everything your way or having a best friend?"
- Control Freak: Hildegard is this to Clio, forcing her to give up everything she loves if she wants to be friends.
- Hard Truth Aesop: Friends are important, but if a friend doesn't want you doing what you love just because they don't like it, then the friendship isn't worth it. Hildegard calls it quits on her friendship with Clio in the climax, but Amber's Armor-Piercing Question above makes her realize how unfair it is to treat Clio the way she did.
- Home-Early Surprise: Sofia and Miss Elodie convince Clio to try out for the play while Hildegard is expected to be on vacation for a week. But Hildegard comes home early, on the day of tryouts no less, due to a sudden warm spell in north Freezenburg.
- It's All About Me: Hildegard doesn't like plays, which is why she not only forced Clio to choose between her and the play but decided to stop being friends with her when she decided to audition. However, thanks to Amber, Hildy learns that friends don't treat each other like that.
- Remember the New Girl?: Princess Kari makes her official debut in this episode, but she's apparently attended Royal Prep longer than Sofia—and she was never even so much as mentioned before.
- School Play: The episode focuses on Royal Prep putting on a play called Hello Polly.
