1	When Pascal begins to feel like he does not fit into Rapunzel's new life in the castle, he runs away.
2
3	----
4	!!Tropes in this episode include:
5	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Cassandra suggests that Rapunzel calls off the search for Pascal to focus on "more important" duties. Rapunzel whirls on her lady-in-waiting and ''loses '''all''' of her shit in absolute fury''.
6	* CallBack: The episode marks a return to the tower where Rapunzel grew up in. Eugene says he doesn't want to go back because he refuses to die in the same place twice. With that snake up there, it was a wise choice indeed. Rapunzel's previous length of hair (now brown) Eugene chopped off is still lying on the floor.
7	* DarkAndTroubledPast: As a little chameleon, Pascal's mother sent him down a river to escape a snake, losing her life in the process (and little Pascal witnessing it). Pascal ended up washing up near Rapunzel's tower and decided to check things out, deciding to stay with Rapunzel after she saves him from the same snake.
8	* DisneyDeath: As seen in the flashback, baby Pascal almost dies from a snake bite, but his life was saved by young Rapunzel's magic hair.
9	* HeroicSacrifice: In the beginning, we learn that Pascal's mother sacrificed her life to save him from the snake.
10	* JerkassHasAPoint: Lance may have [[KickTheDog eaten the dinner meant for Pascal and Rapunzel]], but he doesn't sugar-coat that the fault lies (partly) with Rapunzel for making less and less time for Pascal.
11	* KarmaHoudini: Lance doesn't receive any reprimands or repercussions for eating the dinner meant for Pascal and Rapunzel.
12	* MoodWhiplash: We are treated to views and objects that serve as a grim reminder of the darkest moment in the film--the remains of Rapunzel's hair, the broken mirror, the shot of the chain Gothel used, only to later be superimposed with visions of happy memories Pascal had made with Rapunzel.
13	* OutOfContextEavesdropping: Pascal is a victim of this twice:
14	** First, he thinks Shorty is giving him a pep talk, but he was actually talking to a dead potted plant.
15	** Then he hears Rapunzel call Eugene "my best friend" as she enters a room. Thus he doesn't hear her add "after Pascal." Thinking that Rapunzel is no longer his best friend, Pascal runs away.
16	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[KickTheDog Lance gives one to Pascal about how he should really be mad at Rapunzel for standing up their dinner rather than him for eating it]].
17	* [[TheRunaway Running Away From Home]]: Feeling unappreciated, Pascal runs away from the castle and back to the tower.
18	* SuperPersistentPredator: The snake, which somehow followed baby Pascal up a tower and survived getting whacked by young Rapunzel. When Pascal goes back to the tower after 13 years, the snake is still trying to hunt him down.
19	* TraumaButton: Rapunzel flinches when she sees the tower again, and entering and climbing it is a struggle.
