* HumiliationConga: Continuing the conga that started in the previous episode when Rian escaped him, the Chamberlain is forced to walk back to the castle, and on the way there he gets chased out of the Stone-in-the-Wood village. Once in the castle he discovers the place in disarray, is treated to the unpleasant sight of The Gourmand peeing in the hallway, and discovers he missed the banquet where his fellow Skeksis are lavishing themselves with Gelfling essence. Finally, his attempt to turn the Emperor against the general (and thus get his seat back) fails misserably when the Emperor actually approves of the General killing the All-Maudra, and the others mock him for mis misfortune.

* DishonoredDead: Still convinced that her mother was a traitor, Seladon cremates All-Maudra Mayrin instead of having a proper funeral, meaning her essence won't return to Thra.

to:

* DarkIsEvil: Seladon's descent into madness is symbolized by her thick black dress and dark makeup, which makes her look like a Skeksis.
* DishonoredDead: Still convinced convincing herself that her mother was a traitor, Seladon cremates All-Maudra Mayrin instead of having a proper funeral, meaning her essence won't return to Thra.


Added DiffLines:

* DividedWeFall: Seladon and Faura's conflict over who to become All-Maudra, though from two different perspectives: Seladon wants to prevent the Gelflings from dividing and falling to a doomed civil war, and Faura wants to prevent Seladon from delivering the Gelflings to be drained by the Skeksis. The other Maudras hesitate to side against Seladon for fear that dividing the Gelfling clans will cause more harm than good.
* TheDutifulDaughter: Further deconstructed as Seladon's resentment that her mother never seemed to appreciate her loyalty or commitment caused her to side with Brea rather than her regarding the Skeksis, and burns her rather than buries her to get even.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: In case it wasn't clear that Seladon is falling down a dark path, she wears a heavy black dress and crown with dark makeup, that makes her look like a Skeksis.


Added DiffLines:

* GreenEyedMonster: Seladon's continued insistence that her mother was a traitor for siding against the Skeksis is clearly her jealousy and betrayal that her mother sided with Brea regarding the Skeksis rather than Seladon herself.
* IRejectYourReality: Seladon chooses to believe that reports of the Skeksis draining Gelflings are all lies, despite mounting evidence to the contrary, and that the Gelflings must continue to serve loyally to avoid invoking their wrath.


Added DiffLines:

* OrderVersusChaos: Seladon claims she needs to be the All-Maudra and the Gelflings need to keep serving the Skeksis to avoid descending into war, anarchy, and chaos.
* SelfServingMemory: Seladon claims her mother defied the Skeksis and was justly executed for her crime. As the Maudra of the Stone-in-the-Wood describes, several of her Paladins are telling a ''very'' different story.
