* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** Blinky tries different human foods that he wouldn't be able to eat before. Not Enrique warns him that his stomach won't be able to handle it. The changeling is right.
** Later on he tries to punch one of Angor's glass golems. If he were a troll the blow would be stronger, but as it is... nor so much.

* BlackComedy: After Claire "rescues" [=NotEnrique=] [[ItMakesSenseInContext from Jim's fridge]] and the gang leaves his home, she looks around to make sure no one's looking before chucking her, at the moment human-looking, "brother" like a sack of potatoes into the grass.

Added DiffLines:

* AndIMustScream: Angor Rot lures Jim away from his friends and traps him in beams of light. Jim can't move a muscle, not even his mouth. Blinky has to tackle him to free him.


Added DiffLines:

* BreakThemByTalking: Angor can easily kill Jim, and he shows it by trapping him without breaking a sweat. He promises, however, to break down first and take away everything he loves.
* CharacterDevelopment: Draal previously stayed with Jim because he was exiled from Trollmarket. Here he comes to check on Blinky, and reveals he's been watching over Jim's mother. Draal also realizes that Strickler is trying to get under Jim's skin.


Added DiffLines:

* IdiotBall: Blinky steals clothes first rather than get Aargh to tell him what's happening. This means he gets caught and suspected of being a changeling.
* LuredIntoATrap: Angor Rot sets glass golems on Jim, Claire, Toby and Blinky. Then he shows himself to Jim, who gives chase. Jim runs right into a beam trap that paralyzes him.

* SoftGlass: Subverted. Blinky tries to punch the glass golems but they only shed a few glass flakes.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Double-subverted. At first Trollmarket fears that Blinky is a changeling, and Blinky recites a number of facts. Jim still doesn't believe him, until Blinky tells him off in his characteristic British tone.
