Irony: Hiccup highlights the irony that Valka left Berk because she thought that without her in his life, he would be a normal viking and not a dragon-lover like her.
Like Parent, Like Child: Played for Laughs. When the Madrigals remark on Valka's eccentricities (and her rather feral behavior), they all see the resemblance Hiccup has to her.
...instead of taking her hand, Valka instead chose to stalk around her. Leering, and even sniffing at her. Looking more like a beast at times. This was Hiccup's mother? ... In a way, it sort of makes sense.
This Is Reality: When Hiccup tells Valka that actual magic exists in the Encanto, she insists that magic isn't real. The Madrigals immediately prove her wrong by demonstrating their gifts.
Too Dumb to Live: Eret and Arny might not have know where their new enemies lived if Tuffnut didn't keep shouting "Berk Forever."
Wham Episode: The chapter ends with Hiccup and the other Madrigals accidentally bringing Valka back to the Encanto.
