* VoicesAreMental: Subverted. After the switch, Gaia and Dr. Blight retain their original voices, but have to fake each other's mannerisms in order to fool (respectively) MAL and the Planeteers. Thus, Gaia-as-Blight uses a raspier tone with MAL, while Blight-as-Gaia attempts to speak more softly and sweetly when talking to the Planeteers. The kids do notice ''something'' is off about the two, but [[ExhaustionInducedIdiocy are too tired to really think it over and connect the dots]].
