* DefiantStoneThrow: After Miss Heinous exposes Marco and gives a BreakingSpeech, Star reignites everyone's spirits by throwing a water balloon.



* RealityEnsues: Even if Marco isn't a real princess, that doesn't mean that the princesses don't hate Heinous, let alone be desperate enough to follow her. Likewise, a group of princesses who center their life on non-conforming aren't gonna conform to the rule that boys can't be princesses, so the reveal shocks them for a bit but they quickly get over it since the only thing they really cared about was his heroism.
