* WrongSongGag: When Jim and the others barge in to save Blinky from the clutches of Bular, Toby [[LargeHam dramatically]] introduces himself, and hits "play" on his phone. Cue smooth jazz music, earning awkward looks from ''everyone'', Bular included. He quickly realizes this and switches to a more befitting rock song afterwards.

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Jim and Barbara's conversation, where he hides that someone attacked him, almost sounds like he's covering up DomesticAbuse or bullying. Barbara goes MamaBear and demands to know what actually happened.

* BigDamnHeroes: Jim and the others come to Blinkey's rescue, escalating into a battle between the heroes (and Not Enrique) and villains; Jim, Draal, Aargh, Toby, Not Enrique, and Blinkey versus Bular, Nomura, Strickler, and the goblin horde.

* HeelFaceTurn: Not Enrique decides that he's not ready for this arguably-better-than-Darklands world to end, so he at least turns his back on Bular and Strickler long enough to help the heroes in the fight some and to try to remove the amulet from the Bridge (it doesn't work).

* TrueCompanions: When Draal wonders why Jim would risk his life for Blinky, Jim replies that he would do the same for Draal. Draal's stunned silence upon hearing this speaks volumes. However, what takes the cake is Draal expressing that he not only trusts Jim ''and'' fears for his safety, but for someone who gladly hated Jim a few episodes ago, he no longer cares about being Trollhunter but rather cares more Jims well being as a friend.
