History Recap / TheDragonPrinceS3E4TheMidnightDesert

-->'''Rayla''': ''"Please leave me alone. I don't want you to see me like this."''
-->'''Callum''': ''"I don't care if your crying, I'm here with you."''

* InsecureLoveInterest: Its implied that the reason Rayla is so reluctant to admit how tormented she really is over "being ghosted" to Callum was because of her feelings for him; she didn't want someone she cares for to see her so vulnerable when she breaks down crying. Given this is [[NiceGuy Callum]] though, she needn't have worried.

* ImpededMessenger: Nyx stops Ethari's message to the Dragon Queen and reads the message, allowing her to set up her gambit to steal Zym.

* ShoutOut: "Anyway, here's the [[Music/{{Oasis}} Wonderwall]]." And considering where is that wonderwall, it doubles as a StealthPun.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: Rayla and Callum are stranded on the oasis, and Nyx has kidnapped Zym. Ezran is arrested and sent to prison after abdicating, and Viren is the new ruler.

Meanwhile, Ezran is faced with hard decisions when Prince Kasef reveals he has prepared a siege on Katolis and will attack if they do not join him in a war against Xadia.

Leaving her home, Rayla and Callum are forced to trust a strange Skywing elf named Nyx to guide them through the dangerous Midnight Desert.

* MythologyGag: Doubling as an ActorAllusion, Callum finds the boomerangs on the tip of Nyx's staff to be familiar, a clear and clever reference to his voice actor's previous role as [[BattleBoomerang Sokka]] on the show's SpiritualPredecessor ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. The end credits even have a sketch of Callum with Sokka's boomerang.
