The heroes are besieged by a monstrous spider that could wrap them up in its webs. Ezran figures out that it's not a real spider, since he can speak to animals and spiders don't sound like that. He proves it by walking up to the creature and shouting right back it without any harm coming to him. Callum apologizes for not taking his claims of being able to speak to animals seriously.
The group makes it to the tree and promptly find out that the "miracle healer" is no such thing. Rather, the woman who met Ellis is the Moon Elf Lujanne, Guardian of the Moon Nexus, an illusionist who resides on the Cursed Caldera. She keeps the Moon Nexus safe by casting monstrous illusions around the mountain. Lujanne informs them that the only thing they can do for the egg as this point is to hatch it. Since Sky Dragons can only be born in a storm, Callum breaks the Primal Stone, releasing a thunderstorm that causes the egg to hatch into a baby dragon named Azymondias. The dragon quickly befriends the heroes and severs Rayla's wrist binds.
Soren and Claudia make it to the top of Mount Katolis. Claudia is able to cast her tracking spell, alerting both the siblings and Viren, all the way back at the castle, to the heroes' location.
Tropes:
- Actually Pretty Funny: Claudia finds Soren's joke about Mount Katolis funny.Soren: You might say it's... the Ka-tallest!
- All for Nothing: Subverted. The miracle healer turns out to not be able to heal at all, but she knows how to hatch the egg, and thanks to Callum's Primal Stone, they're able to do it. As a bonus, once Zym is hatched he is able to remove Rayla's binding so she doesn't have to lose her hand.
- All Webbed Up: Rayla encounters what appears to be a human trapped in the spiders' webs who crumbles to dust as soon as she slashes through. It turns out to be an illusion.
- Bait-and-Switch Comment: Rayla compliments Ezran's good hearted nature when he suggests that the creepy sounds nearby might mean someone is in need of help, before then saying how annoying it is. She still begrudgingly investigates.
- Call-Back: Callum's famous jerkface dance.
- Cliffhanger: Claudia and Soren have found the current location of the group, Lord Viren's body seems to be corrupting from his usage of Dark Magic, and the end credits also show that someone is in Viren's mirror, and Corvus has reached the mountain village and is following the group's tracks in the snow.
- Eye Cam: The POV shot from the dragon baby when it opens its eyes for the first time and sees Bait.
- Foreshadowing: When the group arrived at the tree, if you look closely, you can see Ava's right leg not casting a shadow.
- Giant Spider: The group encounters one at the Cursed Caldera. Which turns out to be not horrifying at all when Ezran susses it out as a total fake and they later discover that it was an illusion created by Lujanne.
- It's All My Fault:
- Rayla blames herself for the stillborn egg.
- Callum also blames himself, because he didn't trust her enough to allow her to hold the egg when she suggested.
- Just in Time: During the storm, the egg rolls towards the edge of the cliff but Rayla catches it in time before it can fall off.
- Oh, Crap!: Lujanne knows that a location spell was cast at the end, knowing the group is being followed.
- Place of Power: The Moon Nexus is a place of potent moon magic, and Lujanne is its guardian. More exposition about its status as a place of power is provided in the next episode.
- Puppy-Dog Eyes: Ezran makes sure to flash his big blue eyes at his brother when he asks Callum to do the "jerkface dance" for him.
- Rascally Raccoon: Lampshaded; Ezran mentions that he no longer trusts raccoons since they fooled both him and Callum when they were younger.
- Releasing from the Promise: Rayla swore to kill Ezran to avenge the Dragon Prince, and bound a ribbon around her arm that symbolized the oath and would destroy her hand if she didn't complete it. She couldn't cut the ribbon with a Sun-Fire blade, but when Zym hatches, he easily bites it off and freed Rayla's hand. After all, he was the Dragon Prince she was sworn to avenge, and not only was there nothing to avenge, he absolutely didn't want Ezran hurt.
- Tragic Stillbirth: It initially looks like hatching the egg failed, but a few moments later, this is subverted.
- Traumatic C-Section: Egg variant. Lujanne informs the group that the egg's heart rate is slowing down, and the only way to save its life is to hatch it immediately. The problem is that a Storm Dragon egg can only hatch in a storm, but a solution is found when Callum destroys his Storm Primal Stone to summon a storm. It works.
