* The fact that after seeing Gothel's image appear on a mirror, Rapunzel still calls her "mother". It's a clear reminder Mother Gothel was the ''only'' mother Rapunzel has ever known all her life.
* There's Cassandra's past, where she's very much abused by her biological mother and believes she was always the second one to Rapunzel.
* The ending. At first it looked like Cassandra and Rapunzel were on the path to making up, but after seeing a flashback of Gothel supposedly showing any shred of affection towards Little Cassandra, Cassandra now ''hates'' Rapunzel more than ever, in her mind thinking Rapunzel was still trying to be (or perhaps making herself think she is) Gothel's favorite. Keep in mind, Rapunzel still thinks of them as sisters, not by blood but by heart, and you'd think that by the title that this episode would help them rediscover their sisterhood. But no, Cassandra just leaves Rapunzel to die, and now these two "sisters" have no chance of reconciling.

* The musical number "Nothing Left To Lose" is very heartwrenching in itself, with Varian trying to convince Cassandra that there's a LOT at stake for her if she continues down this path. It's a clear reminder that Varian has been in Cassandra's position before, nearly messing up his whole life committing high treason out of hatred; one week he was upset about Rapunzel and the next thing he knew, it didn't matter. While he was able to get his life back, Cassandra might not be given the same chance.

* Cassandra's IWantSong, "Waiting In The Wings", while a stunning number by Eden Espinosa, is also very morose and sad - a rare glimpse into her greatest troubles and her heart's desires that she only shares with the audience when her friends are asleep and no one else is around. All her life, Cassandra has been held back by her station as a servant girl, unable to achieve her dreams while her friends and loved ones have had fulfilling lives filled with glory and excitement. And the rare opportunities she has come across to be a part of something of greater, she's passed up in the name of friendship, hoping she would have better luck with the next one. Cassandra feels like she's done noteworthy with her life, living in the shadows of greater men and women, and she's afraid that there's never going to change. This song is pretty heartbreaking in retrospect, because it perfectly demonstrates one of Cassandra's core character flaws - her habit of bottling up her true feelings and her hurt to her detriment until it boils over - and because her regrets and her worries about the future will eventually play a part in her StartOfDarkness which kicks off at the end of this episode. "Rapunzel And The Great Tree" is the beginning of the end of Cassandra being on good terms with Rapunzel and the gang.
