* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Taken UpToEleven regarding the JudgmentOfSolomon described above. Stephanie doesn't tell ''anyone'' about her plan to expose the impostor and simply puts it into action. Her only way of communicating that she's up to something is the SecretMessageWink she throws to Trixie, who thankfully figures out what she's doing and tells the adults.

* SecretMessageWink: Robbie Rotten creates a robot duplicate of Stephanie, leading to a SpotTheImposter scenario. The townspeople suggest a dance-off to determine which is the real Stephanie. The robot goes first and ends her routine with a flashy jump move; when the real Stephanie goes, she does an equally-impressive routine, but doesn't do a jump, instead winking at Trixie. The adults think that, since the robot did better, she must be the real one--but Trixie correctly realizes that only the actual Stephanie would deliberately miss a move that she could easily do, because she has enough faith in her friends to know the truth. The wink was Stephanie's way of telling Trixie this plan, and it works perfectly.

* ChekhovsSkill: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]--early in the episode, Stephanie is demonstrating her latest dance moves to her friends, including a new jump that she's perfected. Robo-Stephanie later uses this move during the dance-off, but the real Stephanie ''doesn't'' as part of her plan to expose the impostor.
* DanceOff: The adults decide that since Stephanie loves dancing, the only way to determine which of the two Stephanies is real and which is a duplicate is with a dance contest.
* ADayInTheLimelight: This is a rare Trixie-centric episode, with a special focus on her and Stephanie's close friendship.



* JudgmentOfSolomon: Stephanie's plan to prove herself the "good" twin uses this at its heart. During the big dance-off between the Stephanies, Robo-Stephanie ends her routine with a flashy jump move that the real Stephanie had been practicing earlier. The real Stephanie doesn't do this jump, and all of the adults figure that the robot must be the real deal because she's the better dancer. Trixie, however, determines that the Stephanie who ''didn't'' jump is the real one--she could have easily performed the move, but chose not to because she believed in her friends and their ability to know the truth.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Robo-Stephanie is originally just a toy figurine. Robbie uses a machine to make it grow to the size of the real Stephanie.
* NearVillainVictory: Robbie comes surprisingly close to succeeding in his plan to have Stephanie kicked out of Lazytown. If it weren't for Trixie figuring out the real Stephanie's plan, the adults would have fallen for the fake and exiled the real one.

* PragmaticVillainy: Robbie realizes that his schemes to destroy Sportacus often fail because of Stephanie, and so decides to go after her instead.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: It's unclear just how much free will Robo-Stephanie actually had, but once she's turned back into a toy at the end of the episode, no one's concerned for her in the slightest.
