2
3	!! Tropes
4
5	* BadassInDistress: Hiccup briefly when the Outcasts catch him making a spare connecting rod in their smithy, and forcibly start escorting him to Alvin.
6	* CallBack:
7	** Remembering the other times Toothless's tail-fin has been destroyed, Hiccup's packed a spare tail-fin. He doesn't have a straight connector rod, though.
8	** Alvin is still trying to train dragons the brutal way, though when his men capture Hiccup he hopes to receive more direct lessons.
9	** Hiccup tames a wild Monstrous Nightmare in two minutes, just by averting his eyes, while Astrid earlier had to wrestle one by the horns to befriend it.
10	* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: Tuffnut gets irritated when Stoick reveals the fishing boat made it back to Berk. When the chief glares at him, Tuff tries to blame Ruffnut for saying it.
11	* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Snotlout when Hiccup is captured. He forges an IndyPloy to fight off the Outcast guards and uses the connector rod as an ImprobableWeapon.
12	* DontTouchItYouIdiot: Hiccup warns Snotlout not to eat the strange berries that Snotlout finds, since they can't identify them. Snotlout doesn't listen and his tongue gets swollen from the berry juices.
13	* GreenEyedMonster: Snotlout admits the reason why he [[CommanderContrarian contradicts]] Hiccup's authority is because he feels emasculated by Hiccup's accomplishments.
14	--> '''Snotlout''': "Hiccup's so smart." "Hiccup's so brave." "He killed the Red Death." "He trained the dragons." "He's got the metal-leg."
15	--> '''Hiccup''': ''Metal leg?!'' That's bothering y-that's where you're going? Metal-leg?
16	--> '''Snotlout''': No, it's ''everything the leg is attached to!''
17	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Snotlout and Hiccup with a skinny connecting rod, Snotlout especially.
18	* LogicalWeakness: Hiccup may be a savvy GuileHero, but in a physical fight an Outcast can pick him up without breaking a sweat. Alvin lampshades it by calling him a "90 pound weakling".
19	* TheMillstone: Snotlout for most of this episode. Not only is he responsible for getting himself and Hiccup stranded, but he breaks the connecting rod that Hiccup needs for Toothless's tailfin, loses the satchel that leds the Outcasts discovering Berkians on their island, and draws Outcast fire.
20	* NeverMyFault: Snotlout never admits that he's the reason they're stranded on Outcast Island, and criticizes Hiccup for being unprepared for such a venture.
21	* OhCrap: Hiccup when he realizes that they got stranded on Outcast Island.
22	* RunningGag: Alvin starts saying it's his birthday when his men find the Berkian satchel and then Hiccup on Outcast Island, confusing his men since they didn't get him a present.
23	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The minute Hiccup gets a working connector rod into Toothless's tailfin, they soar off with Snotlout, abandoning the fight with the Outcasts.
24	* TranquilFury: Alvin when Hiccup, Snotlout and Toothless escape at the end of the episode. He says that Hiccup will be back, even if Alvin has to drag him to Outcast Island personally.
