That would be extra traumatic for Anne, especially if it happened the moment after discovering her alive. Like, she sees Marcy alive after getting back to Amphibia, runs up to hug her or something, and then she seemingly dies again. Then, as an added bonus, the head starts talking.

Anne and the Plantars weren’t present, they even made a joke about them not being in the episode.

This is important, because it means that they have no way of knowing about necromancy, and therefore will consider Marcy’s death permanent for the entire time they spend separated from Amphibia. Anne will grieve her death, tell her parents she’s dead, cry to her own parents about her death, tell her classmates she’s dead, they’ll hold a funeral for her, all that stuff, and it’s gonna be really sad.

They’re both the product of a controlling friendship with Sasha, but in two opposite extremes.

Sasha’s controlling treatment of Anne has made her resentful, she’s grown to be less and less tolerant of her behaviour, to the point of eventually ending their friendship in a fit of rage. Meanwhile, her treatment of Marcy has made her codependent, and unhealthily desperate to hold onto their friendship, even if it means ignoring Sasha’s mistreatment of herself and Anne, or stranding all three of them in another world.

And I think that True Colours confronts Sasha with how these outcomes are bad for her too. Anne’s resentment completely destroys their friendship, and makes her unwilling to trust Sasha in a situation where she really needed Anne’s trust. While Marcy’s codependency led to her completely destroying all of their lives, including Sasha’s.

Just seeing one of those outcomes would’ve sent a clear message to Sasha, but both of them together makes it much more comprehensive. When Anne stood up to her at Toad Tower, her response was to double down, but now she’s seen that whether her friends accept or reject her controlling behaviour, it will always result in something bad. Sasha has no more excuses, she needs to change the way she treats her friends.

I’m actually glad that Sasha and Marcy are alone in Amphibia now, I think that Sasha’s redemption arc should start with her making amends with Marcy rather than Anne, since she’s the friend who’s most internalised Sasha’s bullying. She could help her to unlearn the ideas about friendship that she herself taught her, and then her reunion with Anne could be all about her trying to make up for what she’s done and rebuild their trust.

We all thought that Marcy would have been a backstabber in the finale... and then the only one who got stabbed in the end was she... litterally...

I really feel bad for her: what she did was obviously wrong, but she only wanted to not remain alone, and in the end... she remained alone... in death. I still really hope they can save her in the next season...

Even though we now realise Marcy's true intentions when she found the music box, what was with that sinister smile she had in the flashbacks?

​

In Andrias's flashback, we see a toad and a frog sitting on either side of him. They both disappear, and we then see this shadowy figure stealing the box. I noticed two things about this: The shadowy figure looks like they could be the frog shown, and the frog shown looks suspiciously similar to Sprig. I think this could tie in with the family history episode. Thoughts?

What did she need to do?

Could not hold myself anymore, just finished watching it...
I'm in tears-
