History Recap / AmphibiaS3E26NewtsInTights

* TheReveal: The end of the episode implies that Leif wrote the book with the information about the Calamity Box, and that she was indeed a Plantar -- furthermore, she's greatly implied to have [[MeaningfulRename changed the family name]] ''to'' Plantar in order to protect her family line left behind in Amphibia from Andrias' {{Wrath}} against her. The book opens a door to a small room with her cloak in it, though no one realizes that the seemingly blank letter with the cloak most likely has invisible writing on it.

* DropTheHammer: When the robotic judge presiding over the trial of Tritonio's gang transforms into its attack mode, its gavels combine into a gigantic hammer.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Whatever secret message is in encoded on the red paper the protagonists discovered will likely play a part in the GrandFinale, as shown by the fact that Sprig placed it in his pocket rather than leave it in the secret room. A [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amphibia_finale.jpg promotional poster]] of the finale prominently depicts him holding the envelope it was kept in, hinting as to it's importance.

* MeaningfulRename: Implied. The door to Leif's old room that is unlocked with the family tone containing the information about the Calamity Box noticeably has the stylized 'L' on the door [[SignsOfDisrepair reversed]] to make a 'P' for Plantar, highlighted by the lighter positioning on the door showing how it was originally meant to look, implying that Leif might have changed her family name to prevent Andrias tracking down her family before she took the box with her to earth and did her best to [[{{Unperson}} obscure]] any relationship they had to her.
* NeverBeHurtAgain: Tritonio's FreudianExcuse. As a kid with no parents, Tritonio thought he could trust a group of kid thieves, only for them to backstab him once he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]]. For this reason he promised himself to never get attached to anyone. This explains why he was willing to let Anne, Sprig and Polly get arrested after they had successfully got him the Tiger Moth's Eye.

* {{Unperson}}: It's implied that Leif did this to ''herself'' in order to prevent Andrias finding her family and taking his {{revenge}} on them for her betrayal. The door to her room noticeably has the 'L' that denoted her name reversed to make a 'P' for Plantar, implying that Leif did her best to cut all ties she had to her surviving immediate family so they wouldn't be targeted after she [[IDidWhatIHadToDo did what she needed to]] to protect Amphibia from the impending Calamity she foresaw.
* TheUnreveal: It's not revealed ''where'' Tritonio actually got his 'family' sword from, nor why it tends to softly glow the same blue as Anne's SuperMode and associated gem at times. Given he's revealed to be an orphan in this episode, it most certainly wasn't an actual heirloom, but it's origins and intended purpose are still currently a mystery. On a less serious note, it's not revealed where Anne's been keeping the blade up to this point, nor why she chose to use the more chipped blades scavenged from Toad warriors as her primary weapon during season two, rather than taking the blade with her on the dangerous trip to Newtopia.

* HonorAmongThieves: Tritonia tries to live by NoHonorAmongThieves. He utterly fails and saves his band, Anne and Sprig in the end.

* BatmanGambit: Andrias' forces have robots disguise themselves as regular newts so as to capture Tritonio's forces by surprise.

* EmotionalPowers: Anne's calamity gem abilities were always this, but notably, the 'family sword' she got from Tritonio ''also'' glows a soft shade of the same blue when she gets mad at Tritonio choosing to stick to his NoHonorAmongThieves methodology, despite obviously caring about his gang and wanting to rescue them. This implies that the blade is somehow channelling Anne's Calamity powers into it when she gets emotional, though it's unconfirmed for now, as [[FailedASpotCheck nobody seems to notice the sword glowing]] when it happens.

* AbsenteeActor: Polly does not appear here, making it the first time Anne and Sprig appear without her.

* EmotionalPowers: Anee's calamity gem abilities were always this, but notably, the 'family sword' she got from Tritonio ''also'' glows a soft shade of the same blue when she gets mad at Tritonio choosing to stick to his NoHonorAmongThieves methodology, despite obviously caring about his gang and wanting to rescue them. This implies that the blade is somehow channelling Anne's Calamity powers into it when she gets emotional, though it's unconfirmed for now, as [[FailedASpotCheck nobody seems to notice the sword glowing]] when it happens.
* FailedASpotCheck: Anne, Sprig and Tritonio all collectively fail one when none of them notice the 'family sword' Anne's using briefly glow blue when she chucks it past Tritonio's head in anger after he decides to abandon his captured gang, despite his obvious regret. Granted, it ''is'' glowing fairly subtly, but it visibly changed colour ''right as Tritonio's looking a it'' and he doesn't bring it up at all.

* MeaningfulRename: Implied. The door to Leif's old room that is unlocked with the family tone containing the information about the Calamity Box noticeably has the stylised 'L' on the door [[SignsOfDisrepair reversed]] to make a 'P' for Plantar, highlighted by the lighter positioning on the door showing how it was originally meant to look, implying that Leif might have changed her family name to prevent Andrias tracking down her family before she took the box with her to earth and did her best to [[{{Unperson}} obscure]] any relationship they had to her.

Granted, it ''is'' slowly fairly subtly, but it visibly changed colour ''right as Tritonio's looking a it'' and he doesn't bring it up at all.
