  • Loo-Kee's Hiding Place: behind some debris before the rebels walk by with the straw wagon. edit »
  • Loo-Kee's Moral: It's never too late to make a change for the better. edit »
  • Spirit is nowhere to be seen when Adora is turning to She-Ra but is shown changing to Swift Wind after Adora has became She-Ra. Even though after She-Ra dismounts from Swift Wind he is not
    shown with the Rebels for the rest of the episode. edit »
  • Glimmer's magic proves her to be a powerful ally in this episode, but in previous episodes like "My Friend, My Enemy" she's captured easily and without a fight. edit »
  • General Sundar was to return in the season 2 episode "Return of the General". edit »
  • Hordak: Promises were meant to be broken. edit »
  • Sundar: Hordak, those taxes are unreasonable.
    Mantenna: Yes, so is Hordak. (he laughs and Hordak sends him down the trap door.)
    Hordak: Who says I'm unreasonable?
    (Hordak laughs and so does Grizzlor and Catra.)
    Hordak: I notice that you're not laughing too, General. If you thought it
    was funnier...(puts finger almost on the trap door button)...I would of done the same thing to you.
    Sundar: Then why don't you try to?
    (Hordak thinks for a minute)
    Hordak: Never mind! Take the prisoner She-Ra to her cell. I'll decide
    her punishment later.
    Sundar: Yes Hordak!
    (Sundar takes She-Ra to the dungeon) edit »
  • Hordak: I don't know if I can trust Sundar anymore...he's getting to be too honest if you know what I mean.
    Grizzlor: And he's scared you too.
    (Hordak prepares to push the trap door button.)
    Grizzlor: No wait, I'm sorry Great One...
    (Grizzlor goes down the trap door.) edit »
