* StoryboardingTheApocalypse: When Bow asks "[[TemptingFate What's the worst that can happen?]]", Adora acts out how Catra traps She-Ra, overwhelms Frosta and Mermista with bots, fires on Perfuma and use her to draw Bow into the open, pinning him down between the bots and Horde soldiers. Glimmer tries to teleport in, but won't have enough magic to teleport out and Catra will [[ForcedToWatch force Adora to watch]] while all of her friends are taken out.

** Mermista's transformation into "Sea-Ra" is a near word-for-word recreation of He-Man's transformation sequence from the original cartoon.
** Bow's fantasy, aside from the stuff mentioned down in ProductionThrowback, also has Catra trill her "rs" and engage in terrible, terrible punnage. Exactly like the original ''She-Ra''.

* AlasPoorVillain: The spybot's "death" gets played like this.



* AsYouKnow: Apparently played straight at the start, when Adora, Bow and Glimmer are describing their plan as they're partway through it, but it soon turns out that's part of the wargaming session.
* ButtMonkey:
** Bow. Everyone's fantasy seems to involve him getting hurt and / or killed.
** Kyle, again. Even Scorpia is baffled by how much of a screw-up he is.
-->'''Scorpia:''' Seriously, Kyle, how have you not been fired already?
* ContinuityNod: Turns out Frostra is holding a grudge over Catra ruining the Princess Prom. Her version of Catra also has her in the tuxedo she wore to the event, now with added CoolShades.



* DramaticIrony: We know that the session isn't accurate to what the princesses can actually ''do''. Scorpia, on the other hand...

** Adora spends the episode freaking out over Catra being at the fortress. It turns out she's nowhere near.
* EyePatchOfPower: In Glimmer's fantasy, Lonnie has one. And so does Catra's RightHandCat.
* FailedASpotCheck:
** Invoked by Glimmer, who says Bow's first "death" comes because he didn't make an observation check.
** None of the Princesses notice the spybot in their midst.
* FemmeFatale: Glimmer's fantasy has Catra as one of these mixed with a Bond villain.



* OnlySaneMan: Lonnie, for the Horde.

* SkewedPriorities: Scorpia's determined to do the best job she can so she can ''prove'' she and Catra are best friends, even demanding Kyle go and find out what her favorite color is.
* TeleportSpam: Glimmer's plan involves large amounts of teleporting. Bow and Adora note that she'd never be able to do as many as she describes before running out of juice.

Adora's planning meeting goes awry as the Princess Alliance starts to treat it like a D&D game, while Scorpia excitedly protects the pass the Rebellion is planning to take.

!!Tropes:
*AndYouThoughtItWasReal: Scorpia, watching the feed from the spybot, misinterprets the Princesses' out of control planning meeting as a genuine description of their capabilities, and is terrified.
*CuteMachines: The spybot, according to Scorpia.
*ImagineSpot: Most of the Princess Alliance gets these, of varying lengths and intricacies, as they try to plan the attack. Bow sees the cast in their 80s incarnations, Glimmer imagines the world as a cross between a dark shounen anime and a Franchise/JamesBond movie, Mermista wants to become her own version of She-Ra, and Perfuma [[BloodKnight just wants to hit things with flowers]].
