7	* CallBack: "[[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E6WinLoseOrDraal Take it. Don't make it weird.]]"
8	* ContinuityNod: The story Strickler tells Claire's parents and Toby's Nana is the dinner date from "[[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E11RecipeForDisaster Recipe For Disaster]]", mentioning the absurdity of their fight [[ChaosWhileTheyreNotLooking while Barbara was not looking]].
9	* CoolKey: The stone in the Amulet is the key that brings the ancient gyre to Merlin's tomb.
10	* DeathTrap: The trap Gunmar left [=AAARRRGGHH!!!=] in has dozens of live dwärkstones trapped with him in a stasis trap. They deactivate it and they destroy them and the rest of the temple with them.

16	* NoodleIncident: Somewhere in-between the Trollhunters teleporting to the temple and their activation of the ancient gyre, Strickler and [=NotEnrique=] arrive to the Lake household, Claire's parents and Toby's Nana having already gotten used to them (showing no surprise at his true form either) and are already having a casual conversation about the time [[Recap/TrollhuntersS1E11RecipeForDisaster he and Jim fought behind Barbara’s back]].
17	--> '''Strickler:''' So there Jim was, sword to my throat, then Barbara comes out of the kitchen with a pie!… Jim and I looked at each other and I say, "Where is that contact lens?"
18	* PetTheDog: When Gunmar tells Draal "You are a dog and this is your leash!", Angor Rot remembers when Strickler said [[MeaningfulEcho the exact same thing to him]] and convinces Gunmar to spare Draal. This is {{Foreshadowing}} for his nobility returning now that his soul is back.

20	* ShooTheDog: PlayedForLaughs.
21	--> '''Blinky:''' Stay here. You're my brother. And I still don't trust you.
22	* ThrowTheDogABone: After being defeated several times and even made his slave, Draal finally wins a fight against Gunmar. Sadly it is a short lived victory.
23	* TimeTravel: Merlin's old workshop has a stone on the floor that, when pressure is placed on it, the entire room reverts to how it was centuries ago.
