Tracy Gets the Wings, Explained：relieve you of
Someone formally ends a tooth-fairy assignment, then hands Tracy the wings for rehabilitating Mr. Thompson. The pride lasts one breath. "You're not gonna remember anything that happened in Fairyland" turns the promotion into a goodbye, and the only reason offered is that this is simply how they do things.
あらすじ
Mr. Thompson is formally relieved of tooth-fairy duty. Tracy is called back and given the wings, to wear with pride whenever a new tooth is collected. The wings are confirmed out loud, and the new fairy is called the tallest in the world. Someone then has to be poofed down. Tracy is asked to do the honors, which is not a gift: nothing from Fairyland will be remembered.

You big four-eyed giraffe.「Tracy Gets the Wings」を読み解く
What's really going on
On the surface the wings are handed over. Thompson is dismissed with "I hereby relieve you of tooth-fairy duty," and Tracy is given wings for rehabilitating him: wear them with pride each time a tooth is collected, then "You got your wings." Under that, feelings stay unsorted. Someone refuses "the whole physical contact thing." Later a line says "you like me," and later "let's not get frisky" pulls the talk back. No speaker is marked, so nobody is shown blocking anyone. Tracy is offered the honors. Someone hears a gift and is told "I'm afraid not." Next comes "You're not gonna remember anything that happened in Fairyland," because "that's just the way we do it." "I'll never forget you" and "Thank you, Tracy, for everything" sit beside "You big four-eyed giraffe," a zoo, and a head sent to Easter Island. Thanks and insults both appear. The lines never show one speaker, and the rule is what removes memory.
Theme
PrideWings come with an order to wear them with pride, and a later line calls someone a tall, four-eyed giraffe.
MemoryThe person addressed will remember nothing from Fairyland, because that is the way they do it, even as another line says never forget.

...I hereby relieve you of tooth-fairy duty.A formal dismissal aimed at Mr. Thompson: tooth-fairy duty is taken off him in one ceremonial sentence.
L... I tend not to do the whole physical contact thing.The speaker usually skips hugs, handshakes, and the rest of that whole category.
This is great and I'm proud of you. You're the tallest tooth fairy in the world.Praise first, then a height joke: the new tooth fairy is applauded and called the tallest anywhere.
You're not gonna remember anything that happened in Fairyland.Addressed to you: every event in Fairyland will be forgotten, with no exception stated in the line.
I'll never forget you.A personal promise of memory, spoken after the rule that Fairyland itself will be forgotten.
And you get that head back to Easter Island.A jab at the head, not at height: that head is ordered back to Easter Island, the place known for giant stone heads.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Tracy get the wings?
The dialogue ties them to Thompson. Someone says anybody who can rehabilitate Mr. Thompson more than deserves what is being handed over, and the reveal is "It's your wings, Tracy." Tracy is told to wear them with pride every time a new tooth is collected. The scene states no second reason.
Why will nothing from Fairyland be remembered?
Custom is the only reason given. Right after "You're not gonna remember anything that happened in Fairyland," someone asks "Why?" and the reply is "Because that's just the way we do it." No other cause is stated in that answer.
Is doing the honors a gift here?
No. Tracy is asked, "would you like to do the honors or shall I?" Someone takes that as a present: "Oh, so honors? Oh, a gift. Yeah." The correction is "I'm afraid not." The line just before is "Somebody's gotta poof me down," so the honors are the send-off.
What does the four-eyed giraffe line refer to?
"You big four-eyed giraffe" mocks height and glasses. "Go back to the zoo" sends the person off like an animal. "And you get that head back to Easter Island" is about the head, not height: that head is ordered back to the island of giant stone heads. The scene never names who is mocked.
