[[AC:[[Recap/TangledTheSeriesS1E16QueenForADay Queen For A Day]]]]
* This episode - the darkest and most tragic yet - is a long series of sad moments for everyone involved, but for starters, [[BreakTheCutie basically everything that happens to Varian:]]
** At the start of the episode, the spikes have all but completely overrun his village, [[HopeSpot but his father pledges to go to the king and fight for a solution.]] Varian comes along, thinking he can help, only for his father to completely ignore his contributions and then turn out to be planning to lie to the king and get more land, so the villagers can abandon the town instead of fixing it. Varian is both furious and disillusioned with his father, outright saying that he doesn't think he can trust him any more and that the only person he can confide in any more is Rapunzel.
** Varian tries to fix the problem himself, believing his father doesn't care. However, his alchemy has a more severe reaction to the spikes than he thought, causing the spikes to ''grow'' rather than shrink. His father realizes what is happening before Varian does and [[HeroicSacrifice shoves him out of the way, only to be slowly enveloped by them himself.]] As if this essentially being his own fault wasn't enough, his father realizes there's no use in trying to stop it, but Varian refuses to believe it and runs away to desperately find help.
** His song, which has him both bitter than his father never understood or showed pride in him, and hope that by saving him and the village his father [[HopeSpot will finally see him for who he is.]] [[DramaticIrony All while unaware that he has already failed:]] we see his father be covered in the spikes just before the song even begins.
** Varian runs to the castle through a snowstorm to beg for Rapunzel's aid. Instead, he finds Corona in a state of emergency and Rapunzel too busy trying to save it to help him. When he insists, he is instead seized by the guards and dragged out of Corona, screaming to no avail that Rapunzel promised to help him. When he returns home, he finds his father is completely encased with no way out, and we leave him sobbing on the floor. Both the animation and the acting really sell the moment - he both looks and sounds like he's completely broken.
** The result of all this. Varian's is the only problem that isn't fixed in the end. Instead, we find that losing his father and being turned away from Rapunzel has turned him bitter and obsessed with fixing the problem at any cost, [[{{Revenge}} making anyone who stood in his way "pay."]] Optimistic, {{Adorkable}} Varian has just had his StartOfDarkness.
* Rapunzel, as per the episode title, is made acting Queen while her parents go on vacation. At first she's very excited about this, until she has to deal with the mob of people wanting her to fix their problems, and the fact that every solution she tries to give just makes the problems ''worse.'' By the end of the day, she's gone from confident to depressed and believing she's not good enough to be Queen. And this doesn't go away even after everything is said and done and she saves the day.
* The King and Queen's carriage falls off a cliff, leaving them stranded. There's a sad scene where, fully believing that they're about to die, Frederick laments how he won't be able to do everything he wants for the kingdom.
* Early in the episode, Cassandra mocks Eugene for being acting King but not really doing anything important. Later, when Eugene decides to lead a team to rescue the King and Queen from the blizzard - which everyone thinks is suicide - he reveals that her words inspired him to do it. For once, Cassandra looks regretful at the idea that she may have inadvertently sent Eugene to die.

[[AC:[[Recap/TangledTheSeriesS1E12PascalsStory Pascal's Story]]]]
* '''Dear lord'''. The beginning shows us that Pascal, not unlike Rapunzel, had a DarkAndTroubledPast. The then young chameleon is carried off by his mother as they are pursued by a hungry snake. When they reach a dead-end, Pascal is nuzzled by his mother one last time before being sent down a river on a lilypad...just in time to watch helplessly as the snake delivers the finishing blow.
* Alone, tired and depressed, the poor chameleon eventually finds hope in Rapunzel's tower. Unfortunately, it turns out the snake followed him there and injects him with venom. Yes, ''Pascal died''. Thankfully, Rapunzel manages to ward off the snake (via [[WeaponOfChoice frying pan]]) and resurrect Pascal with her magical hair.
