* PetTheDog: While he does unjustly blame the student creatures for the loss of magic and locks them in a room, Neighsay does release them from the magical binding he put them in, and instead of intending to imprison them says he is simply going to get their guardians to bring them home.

** Cozy being evil was hinted at back in her very first appearance in "Marks for Effort", initially guessing Generosity and Magic as "Intelligence" and "Control", flashing a rather sinister face as she gets it, and not even bothering to drink the cocoa Starlight gave her. She was also suspicious when the CMC offered to tutor her, and her biggest hint toward her true nature was when she said, "I guess I still have a lot to learn about friendship."

* WidelySpacedJailBars: As usual, to not obstruct view the bars to Tirek's cage look wide enough to allow the centaur to walk in-between with little trouble. He even leans his entire torso through them at one point. Of course, it's not like the cages have much use in Tartarus, someplace you will still have to escape (and likely not be able to).

* DidntSeeThatComing: Cozy Glow's plan to take control of the school didn't account for Twilight placing Starlight in charge, or Neighsay making an appearance.



* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Despite his grudge against Twilight, Neighsay had come to the school to warn her about the magic drain (though he did assume the non-pony students were somehow behind it).
** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]] with Tirek. Despite calling Cozy Glow's plan to drain all of Equestria's magic a "waste", he gladly told Cozy exactly how to do it, since it meant the ponies would suffer.



* FantasticRacism: Neighsay's first order of business upon taking over as head of the school of friendship is to get rid of the non-pony students. In fact, he actually accuses them of being behind the magic drain after catching them.

Neighsay's first order of business upon taking over as head of the school of friendship is to get rid of the non-pony students. In fact, he actually accuses them of being behind the magic drain after catching them.



** When the Mane Six confront Tirek, he refers to Twilight as the Princess of Friendship. Considering he was re-imprisoned immediately before Twilight was given that title, this was an early indicator that Tirek had been in contact with someone on the outside world.



* {{Hypocrite}}: Cozy Glow calls Smolder a "scheming dragon", yet it is revealed at the end of the episode that she has had her own scheme to take over Equestria in the works for quite some time.



* ItAmusedMe: Tirek claims that he answered all of Cozy Glow's questions about draining magic because he was "bored".



* RealityEnsues: Despite Twilight considering Cozy Glow to be her "right-hoof pony", she doesn't place Cozy in charge of the school in her absence, as Cozy had hoped. No-one in their right mind would place a child in charge of a school, no matter how helpful that child is. When Cozy claims to Neighsay that Twilight ''did'' leave her in charge, Neighsay is rightfully disgusted, seeing it as [[TheLastStraw all the reason he needs to take control of the school himself]].



** Neighsay taking over the School of Friendship throws a temporary wrench into Cozy Glow's plans. However, she works around him, eventually trapping Starlight and planning to do the same to him.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Chancellor Neighsay is a massive jerk, but he does believe he is working in the best interests of Equestria. And he only takes over the school when he finds out that Twilight seemingly left a foal in charge, which would have been ''insane'' if it had been true.

* MundaneUtility: So mundane that it was never mentioned before, but apparently magic is normally used on prepared foods to keep them from rotting, meaning the ponies normally don't have to worry about air tight food containers. They soon find that without this magic their food goes bad quite rapidly.
