History Recap / ArcaneS1E9TheMonsterYouCreated

** Silco re his surrogate daughter, with tragic results.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The boy who was accidentally killed by Jayce is revealed to be the son of Renni, one of the chembarons. She's clearly heartbroken over her son's death.

* ConvenientlyPlacedSharpThing: Caitlyn uses a broken glass to free herself from the ropes.

* DragonTheirFeet: PlayedWith. Vi and Sevika fight in this episode and have fought before, but Sevika is still alive by the end while Silco dies. Sevika's final scene of the season implies she will become a DragonAscendant and take Silco's place.

* CallForward: This won't be the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCVLRh1y96M&list=PLbAFXJC0J5Ga3WxSJHOrkX6OYiixVqFMn&index=6&t=3s last time]] Jinx arms a weapon with a powerful energy source in an attempt to destroy a tower in Piltover, albeit with much less dire consequences in the future.

* InterruptedSuicide: After scattering Sky's ashes, Viktor is moments away from joining her until Jayce walks in and stops him.

* OutOfContextEavesdropping: After hearing Silco's conversation with Vander's statue, Jinx is under the impression that he was going to sell her out to Piltover in order to get everything he ever wanted, eventually leading up to her taking Silco hostage and (albeit accidentally) killing him. It certainly didn't help matters much by his musing that the only thing he would lose is problems. As it turns out, however, Silco never would have taken the deal, because it would have meant betraying his foster daughter.

** After kidnapping Vi, Jinx shows she recognises that Silco has been manipulating her and asks Vi if they are still sisters, implying that she wants to reconcile. However she then reveals that she's crazy as ever by forcing Vi into a SadisticChoice.

** Ambessa tells Mel that her brother was killed by a man in Noxus he should not have crossed, who does not necessarily consider the score settled. Just who precisely this man is is left unanswered.

* UnderestimatingBadassery: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Silco agrees to Jayce's parley because he rightly suspects Jayce doesn't have the stomach for all-out war between them, so he is confident Jayce will agree to almost anything if it means peace. However, what he fails to anticipate is why Jayce is making the offer: Jayce wants peace because he knows his Hextech weapons will slaughter Zaun, so while he is willing to agree to Silco's demands, he's also confident in demanding Jinx as a sacrifice because Silco can't win, a condition Silco can't bring himself to agree to.

* ChildhoodMemoryDemolitionTeam: Vi is pissed to see that Siloc and his goons have taken over her second childhood home, the Last Drop bar. Armed with Hextech gauntlets she storms it but gets knocked out by Jinx before she can properly retake it.

* CradlingYourKill: Jinx [[spoiler:holds Silco after she fatally shoots him during her meltdown.]]

* TalkingToTheDead: Silco vents his conflicted feelings about not wanting to give up Jinx for Zaun's independence while talking to a statue of Vander that was erected in his memory. He even [[LibationForTheDead pours out a drink]] for Vander after commenting on how [[BecomingTheirOwnAntithesis they're not so dissimilar anymore]].
