History Recap / StarVsTheForcesOfEvilS4E15GhostOfButterflyCastle

* VaguenessIsComing: Once Mina has abandoned Butterfly Castle's ruins and Moon decides to let Eclipsa handle it on her own, a flock of crows can be seen flying overhead ominously. As Mina has attempted amass an army of crows already, the visual cue is meant to hint that whatever Mina is plotting for Eclipsa, its coming soon, but what it is remains unknown.

* WhamEpisode: Mina is now a potential threat, and she seeks to overthrow Eclipsa herself if Moon won't do it.

* TooDumbToLive: The Mewmans further reinforce that without someone they like to guide them, they are effectively helpless on their own. A recurring theme throughout the episode is their overreliance on Moon for guidance when she just wants to be left alone, and while the refugees has managed some form of civilization thanks to Moon living in the area, the ones remaining near the ruins of Butterfly Castle have descended into total anarchy without her, content with stealing from wreckage and bartering for relatively useless objects.

* TookALevelInCynic: Moon is finally fed up with having to take care of others, and in contrast to her offering to teach the Maizleys in "Down by the River", she simply wants to be left alone now, giving the other refugees her planner so they'll be able to handle things them-self. In addition, she shows little concern for Mina's efforts to assassinate Eclipsa once she returns to the yurt, content to let [[BystanderSyndrome Eclipsa handle it herself]] and just relax.

** When Meteora destroyed all of the tapestries she only left Eclipsa's untouched, showing her love for her. In a reversal, Eclipsa's tapestry is noticeably absent from those shown. Meanwhile [[TheDreaded Solaria's]] tapestry is hung apart from the others in a place of honor, showing Mina's devotion to the Monster Carver.

* TruthInTelevision: While crows are primarily known as meat eaters, they do eat berries. Not all crows have the same level of intellect, as Mina shows several petrified crows after they accidentally ate "Yada Yada Berries". With only one crow surviving because it learned to gently hold the berries without breaking them.

* TruthInTelevision: While crows are primarily known as meat eaters, they do eat berries. However, not all crows have the same level of intellect, as Mina shows several petrified crows after they unknowingly ate "Yada Yada Berries". With only one crow surviving because it learned to ''not'' eat those berries and to just hold them in its beak without pecking them.

** Its further enforced just how far the Mewman's have fallen once Eclipsa took the throne. In addition to the many Mewman refugees being TooDumbToLive without Moon to guide them, the Mewman's that have remained by the ruins of Butterfly Castle have descended into total lawlessness without Moon, Eclipsa being too focused on restoring Monster rights and mending relationships with other kingdoms to do anything about it.
** More specifically, Mina is shown to have fallen to her lowest. Who was once the strongest of the Solarian's and Mewni's greatest champion has become an extremely nationalistic attempted regicide, intent on stopping at nothing to get rid of Eclipsa and restore the Mewman's to power.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: Butterfly castle is cursed. Or haunted. Or cursed with a haunting. Or haunted by a curse. Or maybe the ghost just curses at people.

* ScoobyDooHoax: Mina had been scaring people away from Butterfly Castle as a BedsheetGhost, leading people to think it’s haunted (or cursed; no one is quite sure which).

* BystanderSyndrome: Moon decides that Eclipsa can deal with Mina herself instead of getting involved, because she gave up fighting a long time ago.
