7* AchillesInHisTent: The resistance talks about getting the serpentine to help, but they're sitting things out, after the mess with the Time Twins.
8* AgeCut: The episode begins with a flashback of Jay before the start of the series, meeting Wu for the first time, [[{{Foreshadowing}} testing out a pair of wings that he built for solo flight]].
9* CoincidentalBroadcast: Somehow, the broadcast of Lloyd's speech to Ninjago crosses dimensions, getting picked up by the Dragon Hunters just in time for Jay to see it.
10* DidntSeeThatComing: The fake dragon works in spooking the Dragon Hunters, but things take a surprising turn when the ''actual'' Firstbourne shows up as well. And it is ''furious''.
11* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Dareth feels overlooked for not having powers.
12* OhCrap: The episode ends with Dareth, desperately looking for somewhere to do his business, seeing the Sons of Garmadon about to lay siege to resistance headquarters.
13* PrisonersWork: When not being used to attract dragons, the Ninja are forced to engage in menial labour.
14* ScarecrowSolution: The Ninja smuggle tools to Cole and Wu in order for them to create a mechanical version of Firstbourne in order to distract the Dragon Hunters from their escape.
15* ShoutOut: On being flung into a pile of dragon dung, Iron Baron declares "[[Franchise/BackToTheFuture I hate manure!]]"
16* StealthHiBye: Implied in the flashbacks, as Master Wu suddenly pops up in front of Jay with no indication he'd been there a moment ago.
17* ToiletHumor: Dareth, feeling like a burden due to his lack of skills or abilities, asks Mystake for a potion that will give him the "power of Brown". It tastes vile and plagues him with bouts of near-incontinence.
18* YouAreFat: When Cole's first attempt at getting the fake dragon to fly fails, Jay gets defensive and says his calculations were fine, it's just Cole's weight throwing things off.
