Go To

  • The Downer Ending for episode 20. Hook successfully destroyed the Lost Boys’ home, his men managed to capture Wendy, and Peter had fallen into one of the castle’s deadly traps.
  • Tink’s Heroic Sacrifice. She had spent the series up until episode 21 being jealous of Wendy and trying to get rid of her. However, she realized how her actions put a lot of people, including Peter, in trouble when she teamed up with Hook. When she found Peter being pulled towards a huge guillotine, she used up her magic to save him.
  • When Luna thinks she has no choice, but to embrace her destiny as the Princess of Darkness, she returns from the Castle of Darkness in episode 33 and attacks Peter with a flamethrower. She had spent most of her screen time thinking that she can avoid the path of darkness her grandmother was trying to make her go down, but spending time back with her grandmother made her think it was impossible. Peter, however, convinced her to stop by using The Power of Friendship on her.
  • When Wendy went missing in the thick black clouds, her brothers and the Lost Boys were so worried about her disappearance that they almost gave up on adventures.
    • Earlier on, John and Curly got into a fight due to Curly thinking John was a coward for not fighting the pirates and letting them take the key to the Black Mirror. It’s clear that John felt guilty for what happened and Curly insulting him caused him to snap and attack.
  • The ending of the series has such a bittersweet sting to it. Wendy and her brothers safely return to London after saving Neverland. However, they spent a lot of time waiting for Peter to return and take them back to Neverland for more adventures. They slowly began forgetting about him and grew up. When he finally does come back, Wendy is married and has a daughter of her own.
