Cornelia and Caleb's break-up problems hit a boiling point just as the Knights begin abducting Elyon's inner circle. Meanwhile, Drago's investigation into Jade on Nerissa's behalf leads him to the Ben-Shui monastery.
- Adaptational Badass: Canonically, the Ben-Shui monks were by all appearances non-combatants. Here, they're all Warrior Monks able to hold their own against Drago in a fight, with the High Mystic in particular actually winning against him before being sneak attacked from behind by Nerissa.
- Adaptation Expansion:
- While this chapter is mostly an adaptation of the W.I.T.C.H. episode "F is for Facades", there is also an additional side plot about Drago attacking the Ben-Shui monastery while investigating its connection to Jade, which is based on the JCA episode "The Chosen One" but is not a direct adaptation of it.
- Additionally, the author's notes at the end of the chapter also state that the Ben-Shui monks will return and Jade's status as their Chosen One further explored, whereas canonically this was all forgotten about after that episode.
- Adapted Out:
Word of God regarding the appearance of the Ben-Shui monks here is that the JCA episode "The Chosen One" never happened in this universe, in order to avoid any continuity problems (since that episode is where the Chans canonically first encountered Wong, as opposed to first meeting him on Meridian in Season 1 of this story). - Collapsing Lair: After Jackie gets the upper hand against him in the Knights of Vengeance's cave hideout on Meridian, Drago uses his flame breath to trigger some explosives on the cave ceiling, causing a cave-in that destroys the cave and covers the Knights' escape.
- Crazy-Prepared:
- Not only does Uncle bring along a tracking spell in case the Knights ditch Caleb's jacket so that Blunk can't track him, but Tohru also brought a tracking spell, allowing them to follow after Blunk is captured and the jacket destroyed.
- It's revealed that Drago and Nerissa had explosives planted in their Meridian cave hideout since the Knights of Vengeance were founded, just in case they ever needed to destroy the place.
- You Are Better Than You Think You Are: While Cornelia is berating herself for her selfishness and narcissism after Caleb is kidnapped before she could reconcile with him, Jackie admits that those are problems, but reminds her of all her positive attributes as well, such as her passion for her ideals and loyalty to her friends.
