* The final two minutes are heartbreaking for Rapunzel and the group. Throughout the episode, Eugene and Rapunzel have been weary of the group, more specifically Cassandra, after Eugene tells Rapunzel of Demantius' premonition of someone in the group betraying her. Multiple times in the episode, Eugene and Rapunzel don't know whether to trust Cassandra, but she ultimately proves herself trustworthy. It seems that the prophecy comes true when Eugene sides with King Edmund, revealed to be his father, about refusing to let Rapunzel get the Moonstone, for fear of her life. However, things seem well when Eugene comes to his senses and sides with Rapunzel, and King Edmund himself relents. However, just as Rapunzel is about to fulfill her destiny by taking the Moonstone, Cassandra decides to fulfill her own destiny and takes the Moonstone herself, bonding with its power and changing her appearance, the power of the moon coursing through her. Its especially heartbreaking because we were led to believe throughout the entire episode that Cassandra was trustworthy, and Rapunzel herself found no reason or possible way for Cassandra not to be trusted. Cassandra herself reminds her of this after she has taken the Moonstone, saying that she had warned Rapunzel who she could trust. The final shot, of Rapunzel seeing the absolute fall from grace her best friend has taken, tops this moment off as, most likely, the series' bleakest moment.

* In Rapunzel's dream, the world outside Corona's walls is a ''wasteland''. Although it's supposed to establish Rapunzel having a perfectly good reason to stay within the safety of Corona's walls, it's surprisingly bleak to imagine [[CrapsaccharineWorld such a limited world with nothing more to see or do]].
* Rapunzel telling her subconscious self why she refuses to return to reality. It sums up ''everything'' that's gone wrong with her reality, from her friendship with Cass being scarred to all the difficult choices and problems that have come her way.
--> '''Rapunzel:''' (to [[RageAgainstTheReflection herself]]) Even if what you say is true, why would I leave all of this? Cass is fine, all my friends are safe, nobody is asking me to make some huge life decision. (...) Everything is perfect here, so '''why''' would I come with you?
--> '''Subconscious Self:''' If you don't, it could literally mean the end of the world.
--> '''Rapunzel:''' [[RefusalOfTheCall Well maybe I don't want that responsibility]]. Maybe I just want to be happy. Is that too much to ask?
* Cassandra reaction to Rapunzel after she escapes the Inn of Yesterday's Tomorrow. Not only is she colder and more isolated than ever before, but when she and Rapunzel reunite, the joy of the reunion is one-sided: Cassandra flinches from Rapunzel as though she were made of poison. Whatever happened in there may have changed her for the worse. Cassandra may have escaped the Inn, but it feels as though the best friend she once was ''died'' in there.

* Eugene gets an ominous message from Demanitus that someone in their party will turn on Rapunzel. Eugene pays careful attention to everyone, and notices Cassandra is rather distant, with a sinister glare. Eugene can hardly believe that she will betray them all, but it means Cassandra cannot be trusted and he's at a loss as to how he will tell Rapunzel.
