Recap / Tangled: The Series S3E17 "Plus Est en Vous"

Rapunzel and her friends must take Corona back from Cassandra, and finally confront the evil Zhan Tiri.

---

Tropes in this episode:

• Acid-Trip Dimension: The dimension that used to contain Zhan Tiri, known as the Netherworld, is revealed to be this when several characters spend time there in this episode. Not only do completely bizarre creatures and scenery exist there, but the characters also end up being changed in really outlandish ways.
• An Aesop:
  • After loss comes second chances: whether it be a chance to take back what you lost, or build something new out of what you have left. Rapunzel's mother helps her realize this, and Rapunzel reminds all the other citizens the same. When Varian realizes there is a way that can help them turn it all around, the heroes make the most of the opportunity.
  • The titular "Plus est en vous" becomes one unto itself when Rapunzel uses it to help Cassandra see she's more than the sum of her parts (namely her recent deeds and past with Gothel) and can redeem herself. Later, it also applies as a lesson that you can't wait around for life to happen, you have to go out there and start your own adventure.
• And Then What?: Rapunzel asks Cassandra this word for word; she asks what and who will be left for Cassandra when this all is over. Cassandra replies that she doesn't need anyone.
• As You Know: Eugene provides a lengthy recap of some of the events of the series at the beginning of the special.
• Back for the Finale: Almost everyone from throughout the show appears in the penultimate scene.
• Badass Normal: Despite being powerless in her Enchanted Girl form, Zhan Tiri still manages to keep her plans for the eclipse coming along swimmingly, and succeeds in robbing the Sundrop and Moonstone from Rapunzel and Cassandra.
• Beauty Is Never Tarnished: While Eugene gets somewhat messed up in his fight against the Brotherhood, Rapunzel, after a whole episode of fighting, doesn't have a hair out of place.
• Big Bad Wannabe: Cassandra thought herself in full control of the situation and cages up Zhan Tiri to hog all the glory for herself. Unfortunately, she greatly underestimated the ancient demon... and sadly paid the price for her overconfidence.
• Big Good: Varian, of all people, fills in this role, as he is the one who personally comes up with the plan and strategy to trap Zhan Tiri back in the Lost Realm. Sure, the whole plan gets shot, but it would've worked under different circumstances, and he had everyone else (including the King and Queen) working with him.
• Big "NO!": Zhan Tiri lets out four in a row as she is being destroyed by the Sundrop and Moonstone's combined powers.
• Bilingual Bonus: The title is French for "More in You", a reference to the first episode. Admittedly, it is not grammatically correct.
• Book Ends:
  • Like Gothel before her, Zhan Tiri is destroyed as a direct result of Rapunzel's hair being cut.
  • In an almost exact parallel to Eugene's death in the original film, Cassandra dies with Rapunzel shedding a tear on her cheek and using the Healing Incantation to revive her.
  • Cass is embraced by Rapunzel and Eugene in the same way Eugene was hugged by Rapunzel and her family at the end of the movie.
  • Eugune narrates how things turned out for several side characters, just as he did at the end of the original movie.
  • After starting with and going through the whole show with Eugene trying to propose to Rapunzel and Rapunzel struggling to accept it, they finally go through with it at the end of the finale.
• Broken Aesop:
  • At the beginning of the episode, Ariana encourages Rapunzel to break down Cassandra's barriers, but her attempts at appealing to Cassandra's better nature during their fight fail. Ultimately, Zhan Tiri stealing the Moonstone from Cassandra and likening her to Gothel (two people who screwed themselves over because of their egos) are what trigger her My God, What Have I Done? moment and subsequent Heel–Face Turn.
  • The whole concept of second chances also rings hollow as all of Rapunzel and co.'s attempts at reaching out to Cassandra throughout the season consistently fail, with Cassandra only growing worse, and it's only when Cassandra is stripped of her powers and can no longer use them to harm others that she reforms.
  • Cassandra being Easily Forgiven despite everything she's done just to promote the whole "second chances" lesson can be very divisive, for reasons mentioned in the Karma Houdini section. Back in the first season, Varian ended up in jail for similar crimes despite being a minor and having a more sympathetic motive, so many of his fans felt Cassandra being forgiven was a Double Standard based on her friendship with Rapunzel.
• But for Me, It Was Tuesday: At least, a variation of it. After Cassandra traps Zhan Tiri in a cage made of black rocks, Zhan Tiri is only mildly surprised and states "I've been in far worse prisons."
• But Now I Must Go: At the end, Cassandra leaves Corona with Fidella and Owl to find her own destiny.
• Call-Back:
  • Like in the original film, Eugene narrates the beginning of the final episode.
  • In reference to the season 3 premiere, Rapunzel ventures into Cassandra's old room and picks up her old headdress.
  • Cassandra quotes Eugene from the original movie after clobbering Zhan Tiri with an unusual choice of weapon:
    Cassandra: Frying pans! Who knew?
  • Rapunzel gets to use the Healing Incantation from the movie once again, to save Cassandra and create a World-Healing Wave to undo the damage done by Zhan Tiri.
  • Pascal awakens Rapunzel after she uses the healing incantation one last time, with the combined Sundrop and Moonstone flying into space afterward, by flicking his tongue into her ear like he did with Eugene in the original movie. She even makes a comment on it.
    Rapunzel: So that's how that feels.
  • When Eugene and Rapunzel hug after her recovery, Eugene invites Cassandra to join them, much the way the queen invited Eugene to join them when embraced their daughter at the end of the movie.
  • Rapunzel and Eugene take a boat out into the waters around Corona, just as they did in the film.
• Call-Forward: Cassandra and Fidella leave Corona at the end, explaining why they aren't at the wedding in Tangled Ever After.
• Chekhov's Gun: The Moonstone shard from "Cassandra's Revenge" is used to temporarily restore Rapunzel's Prehensile Hair powers, giving the protagonists a fighting chance against Zhan Tiri.
• Color Failure: When Zhan Tiri uses the Decay Incantation on all of Corona, the kingdom's vibrant colors become muted.
• Crazy-Prepared:
  • Varian takes into consideration Eugene's concern that Quirin has been mind controlled by Cassandra as well, and rigs his helmet just in case. He's clearly not happy about having to do it, but has to take into consideration The Needs of the Many.
  • Zhan Tiri expected Cassandra to try and imprison her, so she made sure to carry an acidic substance on her person, using it to melt through the floor and escape.
• Crowded-Cast Shot: Done by Rapunzel and everyone in Corona at the end of the Triumphant Reprise.
• Cry into Chest: After being backstabbed by Zhan Tiri and depowered, Cassandra breaks down in tears in Rapunzel's embrace.
• Darkest Hour: Literally and figuratively. During the climax, Cassandra and Rapunzel seem to lose all hopes for reconciliation, Zhan Tiri takes the Moonstone and the Sundrop and begins destroying Corona, and as hard as they try, the heroes can't stop her. Of course, later, Rapunzel and Cassandra manage to turn the tables.
• De-power: Rapunzel and Cassandra lose their magic.
• Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?:
  • Downplayed. Cassandra (momentarily) knocks out Zhan Tiri with a frying pan.
  • Happens in full force later, when Cassandra and Rapunzel manage to utterly destroy Zhan Tiri thanks to their teamwork, Rapunzel's hair which is no longer magical, and the combined power of the Moonstone and the Sundrop. Friendly reminder that Zhan Tiri is the one who infused herself with the Moonstone and the Sundrop and depowered Rapunzel so the latter could cut her hair at just the right moment.
• Distant Reaction Shot: As Rapunzel sends the Sundrop and Moonstone into space, we get a distant shot of the world. This is also another instance of showing that Tangled takes place on an alternate Earth, as the landmass highly resembles Europe. Corona is also shown to be located where France would be (which makes sense, since Corona is designed after Mont Saint-Michel).
• Don't Touch It, You Idiot!: When the group enter Demanitus' tomb, Varian tells Lance not to touch a strange device. Sure enough, Lance touches it, and it is revealed to be a mind-switching machine, exchanging most of the group's minds with those of the monkeys who reside there. After becoming the machine's first victim, Varian is quick to remind Lance that he told him not to touch it.
• Doomed by Canon: The stakes of this special are high enough, and have circumstances where characters who didn't appear in Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding are fair game to kill off, but it's ultimately subverted when Rapunzel uses the combined Moonstone and Sundrop to resurrect everyone, including characters who had only been seen during the series. As for Cassandra, having her die defeating Zhan Tiri would've been a way to explain her being absent from the wedding, but because that's the expected thing, she was not only resurrected but ends up leaving Corona.
• Double Standard: Despite doing the exact same acts Varian (who arguably had more sympathetic motivations) did in Season 1, Cassandra gets to leave Corona without paying for her crimes, while Varian had to spend a year in jail.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: Zhan Tiri is defeated, the Sundrop and Moondrop are reunited and the black rocks are gone from the world, Rapunzel and Cassandra lose their powers, and Cass returns to the good guys and reconciles with her friends and family. Afterwards, Cass, Fidella, and Owl leave Corona to travel the world and are given a warm sendoff, while Lance formally adopts Kiera and Catalina, Varian is titled the Royal Engineer, and Rapunzel finally accepts Eugene's proposal.
• Everybody Lives: Despite all the high stakes in this special, and all the characters who were not seen during Rapunzel and Eugene's wedding were otherwise expendable, everybody except for Zhan Tiri survives the battle.
• Evil Former Friend: Zhan Tiri was this to Demanitus, serving as his close friend before betraying him for power.
• Evil Is Petty: Zhan Tiri wants to destroy Corona because her former friend Demanitus (who turned against her over her power-hungry ways) loved it so much.
• Exposed to the Elements:
  • Rapunzel once again goes barefoot in a snowy area, and once again doesn't show any more discomfort than anyone else. This time, she even went there of her own volition rather than having her balloon shot down, so she could have bundled up beforehand but chose not to.
  • A lighter example occurs with Varian. He wears his Season 3 outfit in the snow, which probably should have caused him to be somewhat chilly, but he doesn't appear bothered, even more considering he had a negative experience with snow in "Queen for a Day".
• Extra-Long Episode: Three times as long, making it pretty much a movie.
• Failed a Spot Check: Cassandra and Rapunzel end up fighting in Rapunzel's room where Cassandra left Zhan Tiri in a black rock cage some time earlier, and Cassandra pays no mind to the cage being empty now.
• Fake-Out Fade-Out: The episode seems to end with Rapunzel embracing her position as princess, followed by a storybook closing...then Eugene notes that it's not over just yet, and we cue his proposal to Rapunzel.
• Fetch Quest: The first half of the episode is a quest to recover Demanitus's plans from his tomb, which was not too bad. The real work came after that.
• Final Battle: The long-awaited confrontation against Zhan Tiri and Cassandra.
• Foregone Conclusion:
  • Since Cassandra wasn't around for Rapunzel's and Eugene's wedding, she ends up having to leave Corona.
  • Naturally, Rapunzel's hair is once again depowered and cut short as seen at her wedding.
• Forced Transformation: The Coronans are transformed by the Netherworld and if Varian's theory is correct, a prolonged stay would make it permanent.
• Foreshadowing: During Rapunzel and Cass's no-holds-barred battle, Rapunzel asks that Cass not break the vase that her Aunt Willow made. Cass could've broken the vase as a way to further spite Rapunzel, but instead, she agrees not to break it. This may be a very small clue that Cass isn't entirely Beyond Redemption and still has good left in her.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: While messing around with an ancient invention, Rapunzel's group ends up switching bodies with a bunch of monkeys.
• Freeze-Frame Bonus: The last shot of the series before the book closes has a crowd shot of many characters from throughout the series. One detail that many might miss is the fake Flynn posing romantically with Stalyn.
• Genre Savvy:
  • Cassandra knew full well Zhan Tiri would betray her and imprisoned her in Black Rocks before going after Rapunzel. Too bad Zhan Tiri was expecting that.
  • Varian avoids Tempting Fate and takes precautions in case his father really was mind controlled by Cassandra.
• Glowing Eyes of Doom: Zhan Tiri's true form has one yellow eye like the Sundrop, and one blue like the Moonstone.
• Grand Finale: It is the last episode of the series.
• Group Picture Ending: The penultimate scene has a shot of almost everyone from the show.
• Happily Adopted: Lance formally adopts Kiera and Catalina near the end of the episode.
• Hazy-Feel Turn: Even antagonists like Lady Caine and Andrew/Hubert are seen singing with Rapunzel and the people of Corona toward the end. What this is supposed to indicate is unknown, although the Separatists of Saporia are in handcuffs (Lady Caine and her goons aren't).
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: After Cassandra finally returns to the good side and helps defeat Zhan Tiri, she is killed by the shock wave of the moon and sun stone fusing. Rapunzel is able to use said-stone to bring her back.
• Heel–Face Turn: Cassandra finally finds her way back to the light and helps fight Zhan Tiri, and she also falls into Rapunzel's arms and begs for forgiveness.
• History Repeats: It's revealed that, just like with Rapunzel and Cassandra, Demanitus and Zhan Tiri were friends and partners before Zhan Tiri grew hungry for the power of the Sundrop and Moonstone, and knowing Zhan Tiri's sadistic glee in the pain of others and her manipulations of Cassandra against her former friends, she might even have been invoking this intentionally to cause Rapunzel pain. That said, Cassandra eventually realizes her mistakes while Zhan Tiri is unrepentant to the end.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Zhan Tiri engineered the conflict between Cassandra and Rapunzel in order to free herself from Limbo, but this resulted in a shard of the Moonstone breaking off, which Rapunzel was able to use to briefly reawaken her powers in order to fight her. Additionally, she's defeated by using the aforementioned magical hair to pull her hands apart, so when Rapunzel suddenly cuts it with a shard of rock Zhan Tiri called forth, her wrists-and the Sundrop and Moonstone she'd attached to them- slam into each other, destroying her with her own strength.
• Hypocrite: Zhan Tiri states that Cassandra and Gothel were felled by their egos, even though she displays a lot of arrogance herself and was defeated by Rapunzel and Cassandra, whom she dismissed as "nothing".
• I Kiss Your Hand: As the group heads out to face potentially lethal danger, Rapunzel and Eugene share a tender moment together as they re-confirm their love for each other, followed by Rapunzel kissing his hand.
• "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Eugene desperately begs his father to fight against the Mind Trap. His words ultimately reach Edmund, who brings his axe down on the stone, freeing the Brotherhood from their mind control.
• Irony: Eugene warns Varian about the possibility that his father might be under the effects of the Mind Trap. Although he's not happy about it, even initially insisting his father was fine, Varian takes necessary precautions just in case as it was a chance they couldn't afford to take. Alas, Eugene didn't expect his own father to be mind-controlled as well (as he didn't know about his father's past).
• Karma Houdini: Downplayed. Despite all the trouble and suffering she caused everyone around her in her bid to kill Rapunzel and all she holds dear, Cassandra never faces the consequences of her actions unlike Varian at the end of Season 1. With that said however, she suffers a major Break the Haughty moment, breaks down in tears over her terrible actions and begs Rapunzel to give up on her, and defeats Zhan Tiri alongside Rapunzel, temporarily dying in the process.
  • Interestingly, Idiot Houdini may also be at play, since Cassandra suffers few repercussions for blindly trusting Zhan Tiri and enabling the means for her freedom.
• Karmic Death: Zhan Tiri suffers this, being destroyed by the Sundrop and Moonstone, which she sought for centuries, and by Rapunzel and Cassandra, whose bond she tore apart.
• Karmic Transformation: Downplayed. While trapped in limbo, Varian's hair streak turns into a live snake, which may be seen as a somewhat cruel nod to his manipulative behavior while he as a villain, though he's no longer that kind of person.
• Karmic Nod: When Cassandra loses the Moonstone and her powers and is trapped with Rapunzel, she breaks down and says she doesn't deserve Rapunzel's forgiveness after everything she's done (from betraying Rapunzel to cementing her villain status the previous episode).
• Laser-Guided Karma: Right after robbing Rapunzel of the Sundrop, Cassandra herself is deprived of her power when Zhan Tiri takes the Moonstone from her, suffering a Break the Haughty moment afterward.
• Last Episode Theme Reprise: An instrumental of the theme song "Wind in My Hair" is heard as Rapunzel and Arianna are riding the horses back to Corona.
• Let Us Never Speak of This Again: After the body-swapping ordeal with the monkeys, Eugene proposes that they do this.
• Little "No": Rapunzel lets out one when Cassandra takes her Sundrop powers away.
• Manchurian Agent:
  • As it turns out, Cassandra purposely made it look like Quirin was spared of the Mind Trap so that he could sabotage the heroes later on, so she commanded the effect to be delayed until that moment.
  • And then there's King Edmund, whose sabotage efforts actually worked for a while...
• Mirror Character: As it turns out, once upon a time, Zhan Tiri was in Cassandra's shoes: turning on her once close friend (Demanitus/Rapunzel), ambitious enough to claim destiny by taking the power for herself, and ultimately willing to hurt her former friend through the one thing they love (Eugene/Corona). Zhan Tiri even (somewhat) made note of it in the previous episode.
• My God, What Have I Done?: After Zhan Tiri traps them and leaves them for dead, Cassandra finally realizes the atrocity of her actions and breaks down in tears. Despite Rapunzel comforting her, Cass begs her to just give up on her, feeling she's beyond forgiveness. When they finally win the war, she feels undeserving to be in Rapunzel and Eugene's hug (likely not helped that Cass tried to kill him several times) until Eugene reaches his hand out for her to join them. Can be seen as Downplayed since she only felt sorry once Zhan Tiri stole the Moonstone from her.
  Cassandra: I've done terrible things! All this time, I've tried so hard to prove that I was more than everyone thought, but they were right!
• Near-Villain Victory:
  • Cassandra nearly manages to steal the Sundrop from Rapunzel, only for Zhan Tiri to grab the Moonstone from her, in addition to said Sundrop and screwed them both over.
  • Zhan Tiri comes very close to completing her destruction and genocide on Corona, but is destroyed by Rapunzel and Cassandra, who defeat her by colliding the Sundrop and Moonstone.
• The Needs of the Many: Even though he hates having to harm his father (again), Varian still takes such precautions in case Quirin has been mind controlled, as he cannot risk Corona.
• Never Say "Die": Averted. Zhan Tiri flat out says that "Corona dies".
• Nice Job Fixing It, Villain:
  • Cass' betrayal in "Destinies Collide" is retroactively put in a whole new light. In this episode, we actually see what happens when the two powers are combined: the person who does it is destroyed - shown when Zhan Tiri (who had infused both stones to each of her wrists) is forced to slam them together. If Rapunzel had indeed gone through with combining the power of the Sundrop with the Moonstone as she'd originally planned to, she would've died doing it. By stealing the Moonstone, Cass unwittingly saved Rapunzel's life!
  • This also means that by manipulating Cassandra into betraying Rapunzel, Zhan Tiri, by proxy, saved Rapunzel's life- and ensured her own demise.
• No Ontological Inertia: After the Moonstone and the Sundrop are reunited, all the rocks created by them disappear.
• Not So Invincible After All: After shrugging off everything the Coronans and Rapunzel threw at her, Zhan Tiri is briefly knocked out when Cassandra hits her in the back of the head with a frying pan.
• Oh, Crap!: How Eugene reacts to seeing Zhan Tiri using the Decay Incantation, which she intends to use to murder all of Corona.
• One-Winged Angel: Zhan Tiri when she unites with both the Sundrop and Moonstone, causing her to power up into her true demon form.
• Only Evil Can Die: The only character death that occurs is the demon Zhan Tiri. All the heroes get to live.
• Picture-Perfect Presentation: The Triumphant Reprise ends with the Crowded-Cast Shot turning into one of Rapunzel's journal drawings.
• Platonic Declaration of Love: At the end of the episode, Rapunzel and Cassandra declare their love for each other before the latter leaves Corona to find her destiny.
• Power Glows: The glow in Rapunzel and Cassandra's hair disappears after they lose their magic. However, Rapunzel's hair is left at its current length, and she has to cut it later. When Rapunzel takes in the Moonstone fragment, her hair flickers, showing a return of the power although weakened.
• Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: After Zhan Tiri gains possession of both the Sundrop and Moonstone.
  Zhan Tiri: At long last! THEY! ARE! MINE!
• Rapid-Fire "No!": Zhan Tiri lets out one of these while suffering her Karmic Death.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: After taking the Moonstone from Cassandra and returning to her true form, Zhan Tiri mocks her Unwitting Pawn for thinking she was in control, and tells her that she was felled by her own ego, just like her mother.
• Redemption Earns Life: Cassandra perishes in the fight to take down Zhan Tiri, but Rapunzel revives her.
• Redemption Equals Death: Cassandra perishes destroying Zhan Tiri once and for all. But, Rapunzel uses what's left of the Moonstone and Sundrop to save Cassandra and everyone who was either dead or dying from Zhan Tiri's use of the Decay Incantation.
• Replacement Goldfish: Unsurprisingly, at the end, Stalyan can be seen with her new boyfriend... Brock Thunderstrike.
• The Reveal: We do find out what happens when the Moonstone and Sundrop are combined, and it does eliminate all the black rocks, but if Rapunzel had actually taken the Moonstone, she'd have ended up destroyed by the fusion, which is what happens with Zhan Tiri.
• Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Cassandra betrayed Rapunzel and her friends for the Moonstone's power, then tried to betray Zhan Tiri so she could have the power of both the Moonstone and Sundrop all to herself. By the end of it all, Zhan Tiri gets the last laugh and depowers Cassandra once Zhan Tiri deemed her worthless and unneeded.
• Rule of Symbolism: Cassandra's new outfit uses green instead of red. As she used to wear a similar hue of red to what Gothel used and red and green are opposite colors, it symbolizes her separating her identity from her biological mother.
• Serious Business: Lance takes it hard when Rapunzel informs him the Great Oak, isn't really an Oak and not that great.
• Shadow Archetype: We come to learn that Zhan Tiri and Demanitus used to be friends. As treacherous as Cassandra's been thus far, Zhan Tiri is a reflection that she could've been a whole lot more bitter, a whole lot more ambitious and even more dishonorable if she had followed her footsteps a little further.
• "Shaggy Dog" Story: Varian comes up with the plan to build the magical portal to banish Zhan Tiri to the Lost Realm, but in spite of going on a big trip to recover the plans, and all the incidents that got him and his whole party trapped in that realm and escaping, his whole plan gets shot when Zhan Tiri returning to her true form causes a ceiling collapse that destroys the portal.
• Shout-Out:
  • Demanitus's portal looks like a Stargate.
  • Quirin's helm looks like Magneto's.
• The Song Before the Storm: "Through it All", the Crowd Song at the Snuggly Duckling as Rapunzel rallies up all her Corona mates to take down Zhan Tiri and take their kingdom back from Cassandra.
• The Starscream: Cassandra decides to turn on Zhan Tiri because she didn’t trust her. However, it didn't matter because Zhan Tiri still gained her true form and her full power anyway.
• Suicide Mission: Securing the plans to build the portal? Fairly Easy. Banishing Zhan Tiri however is hard enough, but doing so requires Storming the Castle with a Moonstone-powered Cassandra and a mind-controlled Brotherhood protecting it in order to build the device while the demon is within range...and they only have one shot to pull this off. Varian holds no illusions that they are walking into near-certain death doing this.
• Symbolically Broken Object: Once again, Cassandra destroys what reminds her of her old life. This time, she comes to her old room in the castle and impales her handmaiden headpiece on a black spike.
• Title Drop: Doubles as a Call-Back to what Arianna said to Rapunzel in the first episode.
  Cassandra: You know, someone very wise once told me "there is more in me", and it's telling me I need to go out there and find my destiny.
• Triumphant Reprise: "Life After Happily Ever After" returns here in a more celebratory manner as Rapunzel accepts her princess duties and looks back on the adventures that made her who she is.
• Total Eclipse of the Plot: The eclipse happens. As a result, the Sundrop leaves Rapunzel's body, allowing Zhan Tiri to claim it for her own.
• Villain Has a Point: As hypocritical as it was, Zhan Tiri makes a good point when saying Cassandra and Gothel were felled by their egos.
• World-Wrecking Wave: Zhan Tiri uses the Decay Incantation to send a wave of darkness across Corona, horribly weakening everyone it touches.
• Villainous Breakdown: When Zhan Tiri sees that Rapunzel and Cassandra reconciled and are now working together to defeat her, she loses her smug attitude and lets out a furious and enraged roar before attempting to kill them both. Finally, when they cause her to combine the Sundrop and the Moonstone, causing her to disintegrate, she screams in horror and fires a Rapid-Fire "No!" and finally a Big "NO!".
• Walking the Earth: At the end, Cassandra (and Fidella) leave Corona to travel the world.
• "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Eugene narrates during the final song what happened to the supporting cast of the show following the final battle.
• Where It All Began: Eugene proposes to Rapunzel where they first fell in love; in the river around the city.
• World-Healing Wave: Rapunzel creates one when she takes what's left of the Sundrop and the Moonstone and uses the healing incantation once again, to heal what has been hurt by Zhan Tiri's World-Wrecking Wave.
• You Are Better Than You Think You Are: The motto Arianna wrote in Rapunzel's journal "Plus est en vous" inspires Rapunzel to reach out to Cassandra and tell her she is more than the sum of her crimes or her relation to Gothel.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Cassandra attempts this on Zhan Tiri, only for her to turn it around and take both the Sundrop and Moonstone once the opportunity presented itself. The demon taunts Cassandra for her stupidity in thinking she was in control when she was clearly not.

"I love you, Eugene Fitzherbert."
"I love you, Rapunzel."
