* MissingStepsPlan: PlayedForDrama midway through the episode, as it turns out Monkey King (rather unsurprisingly) only had one real idea about his "plan" to stop Lady Bone Demon -- that being to remove the Samadhi Fire from Mei so he could use it himself...''maybe''. This shoddy attempt at thinking through a situation ''this serious'' understandably prompts bafflement and outrage from the others.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Because of Macaque’s cynical opinions on heroism and friendship, he is genuinely stunned when MK expresses that he won’t abandon Mei when she loses control of the Samadhi Fire, even if it means risking his life to save her.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Long ago, Monkey King briefly botched the ritual to extract the Samadhi Fire from Red Son and form four Samadhi Rings, and a piece of it fused with Mei's ancestor, making him a sentient forth Ring. This was somehow passed down throughout the Dragon family until it reached Mei.



* WhatTheHellHero: Monkey King is on the receiving end of this from multiple sources throughout the episode; from Nezha and MK when he reveals his “plan” to stop Lady Bone Demon with the Samadhi Fire has been entirely thought up on the fly -- and from Mei, who absolutely ''rips'' into him for lying to the team and putting them all in danger, which has led to her becoming the ''very'' unwilling vessel for the power of the Samadhi Fire.

* SuperPowerMeltdown: Mei has a big one of these when forcibly forged with the Samadhi Fire due to being an unknown fourth ring -- losing control upon learning that Monkey King knew about this all along and nearly burning her friends alive in blind rage and pain. Luckily, MK is able to stop her; see CooldownHug.

--> '''Monkey King:''' This wasn’t supposed to happen! I thought if I could get the Samadhi Fire out of you -- without hurting you, of course -- then I could put it inside myself, then...I don’t know, use it to burn out the Lady Bone Demon or something? I was kinda making this up as I went--

* CallBack: When Macaque tells MK that they’ll be killed if they stick around any longer during Mei’s SuperPowerMeltdown, the latter responds that he will never abandon his best friend when she needs him because that’s what heroes do - words that both reference and oppose Macaque’s cynical breakdown of heroism in ''Shadow Play''.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Monkey King’s “plan” he assured the team of having throughout the season amounts to this - as he didn’t really have one. His intended outcome was to somehow have the Samadhi Fire ritual be preformed on himself once all of the rings were collected - including the unknown fourth one within Mei - and then use the fire to destroy Lady Bone Demon on his own - with no real idea of how he would be able to achieve any of that, considering the Samadhi Fire is repeatedly stated to be uncontrollable. He also never thought it appropriate to tell the team any of this, ''not even the truth about Mei’’. In the climax, he outright admits he was really just making things up as he went along.
* DownerEnding: Mei is forcibly forged with the other rings of the Samadhi Fire and turned into a PersonOfMassDestruction, running away from MK and the others out of fear of hurting them - and Monkey King, who knew about the fourth ring within Mei and hid it, is crushed with guilt under the realization of how his actions have repeatedly hurt MK and his friends, deciding to leave the former behind once more to try and defeat Lady Bone Demon alone. However, the ending does contain some hope; Ne Zha joins the heroes, he and MK heading off to stop Monkey King while the others stay behind to look for Mei - who is unexpectedly found and offered “fire-training” by Red Son.
