** Early there's a sequence as Allura and Coran prepare the castle for flight, activating various systems until it finally launches into space.
** Later we have another one as the Galra Druids test their quintessence-draining machine for the first time. It doesn't say what exactly they're doing, but various parts of the ship start glowing in sequence until it begins drawing life energy from the planet below into space.

* ChainedToABed: Nyma catches Lance off-guard and ties him to a tree. He first has a sly grin before she leaves him and takes the lion.
* CharacterDevelopment: Hunk has become more ProperlyParanoid and less of a CowardlyLion to repay favors owed to heroes, recalling what happened in the previous two episodes.

* FallenOnHardTimesJob: The bounty hunters Rolo and Nyma after everything is done give this as a reason for their actions, it's pretty obvious that for once they are speaking the truth. Seems under Galran rule you are either a criminal or a slave.
* {{Foil}}: Shay, the "hero" in the previous arc, risked her life and safety to get Hunk and Coran off Balmera with a crystal. Rolo and Nyma in contrast are criminals on the run from Galra, and they take advantage of the Voltron team's developing SamaritanSyndrome to earn a pardon and a bounty.
* GambitRoulette: Rolo and Nyma were counting on many factors on luring in the Lions to win the bounty: that the Voltron team would answer their distress signal, that they'd be allowed on the ship to get close to the Lions (and Nyma was only due to Lance being a CasanovaWannabe), and that the other Lions wouldn't be able to give chase.

* AesopAmnesia: Hunk mentions that the last time the castle let their defenses down, Lance nearly got killed by a bomb. Lance remembers this for a few hours before he gets suckered by Nyma into showing off the Blue Lion to her.

* FakingEngineTrouble: PlayedWith. Hunk realizes belatedly that the freedom fighters' ship wasn't broken because, as he explains to his team, only one pipe was cracked when the whole engineering should have been busted. This means Rolo had sabotaged his own ship.

* HoneyTrap: CasanovaWannabe Lance falls for one, one named Nyma, getting the Blue Lion stolen.



* {{Irony}}: As Hunk points out, Keith really did bust up Rolo and Nyma's ship when before they were FakingEngineTrouble, but Team Voltron isn't going to help out this time with repairs or spare parts. Rolo's just grateful that he and Nyma don't receive a death sentence.
* JawDrop: Lance has a long one after Pidge reveals she's a girl.
* LaserGuidedKarma: After TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity and FakingEngineTrouble to steal one of the Lions, Rolo's ship does end up sabotaged for real due to the fight with the Red Lion, and Team Voltron leaves them for another ship to find.
* MuggingTheMonster: It's not a good idea to steal one Lion from the Castle of Lions when there are four more that will take it back.
