4	* AnimateInanimateObject: Freckles the dummy was secretly alive the whole time. He convinces Sorcerio to "bring him to life" with his magic so he doesn't have to hide it anymore.
5	* BeautifulSingingVoice: Zog, as a teen, had one, until he secretly smoked one of his dad's cigars and it made his voice raspy.
6	* BorrowedCatchphrase: Zog uses the Jester's "oh, no!" as he falls into the ocean, right down to the same inflection.
7	* BrickJoke:
8	** The episode begins right where the last one ended, with Cloyd and Becky still running from the angry mob, and Cloyd still nursing the head wound Jerry gave him.
9	** Before going after Freckles, Bean instructs Zog not to fetch Turbish and Mertz. He does so anyway.
10	* TheDogBitesBack: Jerry is more willing to back-talk Odval than he was Cloyd and Becky.
11	* DreamWithinADream: Twice; first, Zog wakes up from a nightmare and takes a walk with Freckles, but then comes across child-versions of himself and his brother Yog and realizes he is still dreaming. Later, when Bean tries to save Zog from falling into the ocean, Zog assures her this is just a dream, and is proven right.
12	* FakingTheDead: Cloyd and Becky apparently flee with the escape pod from The Compensator, so when Bean shoots it down she believes them to be dead. In reality, they were never in the escape pod to begin with.
13	* FalseFriend: Freckles, who does everything he can to turn Zog against Bean and is secretly in league with Cloyd and Becky.
14	* HelpImStuck: As Bean follows Freckles, Cloyd and Becky into the deepest bowels beneath the castle, the hallways get narrower and narrower until eventually Bean gets stuck when trying to squeeze through a small door.
15	* IResembleThatRemark: When Jerry asks an innocent question, Odval tells him as an unpaid intern he's lucky he's not beaten. Jerry points out they ''do'' beat him, to which Odval replies that for that, he's going to beat him.
16	* LetsSplitUpGang: An accidental case brought about by Turbish and Mertz being stupid. Immediately after Zog tells them to follow him, they both go separate ways.
17	* LightningCanDoAnything: Subverted; Sorcerio uses lightning to try and bring Freckles to live, and believes it worked, but Freckles was secretly alive the whole time so the lightning didn't do anything.
18	* ParentalFavoritism: King Xog preferred Yog to Zog. His advice to them was to tell Yog he was "already perfect", and scold Zog for letting him down.
19	* TheRoast: Freckles organizes one for Zog, who actually agrees.
20	* RulingCouple: Well, father and daughter in this case; Bean and Zog decide to share the throne of Dreamland.
21	* ShoutOut:
22	** Freckles being "brought to life" by Sorcerio is a huge one to FrankensteinsMonster, complete with Sorcerio shouting "it's alive" upon seeing Freckles moving on it's own.
23	** In Zog's dream, he imagines Lady Ligonberry declaring "either his testicles go or I do", a paraphrase of something Oscar Wilde once said.
24	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Freckles has this reaction when he realizes he's about to be zapped by lightning.
