* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A lot of people are still mad at Varian for his past crimes against Corona. Even if someone is pardoned by the government and is legitimately sorry for their actions, it can take a long time for everyone to forgive them.

Added example(s)
* AbsurdPhobia: Some of the fears seen by the townspeople are this; Attila is afraid of his croissants coming to life, Eugene is afraid of getting a cowlick, etc. Downplayed: while the fears themselves are played partially for laughs, the characters themselves treat them seriously (as the hallucinations are real to the people seeing them, and all are equally dangerous).
* CharacterDevelopment: Varian still carries guilt and self-loathing over his actions in the season one finale and the season three premiere, believing that everyone hates him (something not helped by the peoples' aloof attitude towards him) and that said hatred is justified. Rapunzel assures him that he's making an effort to make up for past deeds and is trying to be a better person. Her support helps him to finally begin forgiving himself.
* EasilyForgiven: Averted; a lot of Corona's people are still mad at Varian for his actions in the past. It's only after he saves the kingdom from the red rocks that people begin treating him nicely again.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Nigel is revealed to be afraid of dragons. This phobia would be explained in a later episode.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: A lot of people are still mad at Varian for his past crimes against Corona. Even if someone is pardoned by the government and is legitimately sorry for their actions, it can take a long time for everyone to forgive them.
