Notes

add »
When the Dragon's Temple starts to disappear and the vortex opens to swallow it, the soundtrack of that scene is the same one from "Batman: The Animated Series". (edit)
When Rose makes her comeback at the temple, she wears a new huntsgirl uniform. Instead of a Huntsclan uniform, she wears a dark-purple shirt and pants, a belt, a leather jacket, a pair of black gloves, and a pair of black boots with heels. She still braids her hair though (edit)
This is the only episode that doesn't take place in America what-so-ever. (edit)
Credits: Shown were some scenes from previous times we've shared in the second season. References from The Doppelganger Gang, Nobody's Fu, Something Fishy This Way Comes, Furious Jealousy, Haley Gone Wild, Bite Father Bite Son, Switcheroo, Year of the Jake, Being Human, Young at Heart, Magical Enemy #1, A Befuddled Mind, Hairy Christmas, Half-Baked, and Love Cruise were all presented. (edit)
This is the first time we see Councilor Omina in her dragon form. (edit)

Jonathan: Jake! Where is he?
Fu: He's in some serious trouble John, can I call you John? We haven't really talked much before now, but I...feel like I know you. (edit)
Jonathan: (Driving) Okay one more question, are unicorns real?
Fu: Sure.
Jonathan: Fairies?
Fu: You bet.
Jonathan: Gnomes, Elves, Mermaids?
Fu: Yes, yes, and yes.
Jonathan: Santa Clause?
Fu: Just keep your eyes on the road and your foot on the pedal will yah!? (edit)
Jonathan: I have another question, it's just bothering me, when they turn into dragons what happens to their clothes? (edit)
Spud: (To Dark Dragon) Question, is the bad guy laugh really necessary? I mean come on, it's such a cliche, or...is it a stereotype?
Trixie: Spud! Now is not the time!! (edit)
Jake: It's just...you won't believe me.
Rose: I'm pretty open-minded. Give it a shot.
Jake: Okay, here it goes... the happy life that you're living now is an alternate reality that I wished for you. You're actually a mythical dragon slayer who was kidnapped by the Huntsclan, and trained since birth to fight and slay dragons. I need you to come with me tonight to Victoria Peak, to slay the Dark Dragon in order to save my grandfather and possibly the entire Magical World!
Rose: Yeah, I'm not that open-minded. (edit)

Trivia

add »
