** It's also noticeable that Squidina's magic wand looks nothing like the one Agnes is using, being more akin to a children's toy rather than a wooden stick.

* DisappearingBox: Patrick traps Agnes in a box and [=GrandPat=] tries to make her disappear. However, Agnes makes the box grow legs and walk away, showing that she was actually behind it.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Even before the ending, it's hinted that Squidina doesn't actually have magic witch powers. In fact, it might not be possible for her to get them at all.
** Bunny specifies that she never actually got her powers, but she sees her housekeeping skills as her own kind of magic. In this way, Squidina's "magic" might actually just be her producing skills, and not witch magic like Agnes has.
** A MeaningfulBackgroundEvent shows that Squidina didn't actually light Granny Tentacles' house on fire, and that instead, Agnes did it and claimed Squidina did. Squidina's attempts at using her magic wand herself also do nothing.
** The magic potion that Squidina mixes has no effect when Patrick drinks it. Agnes's potion does.

* PullARabbitOutOfMyHat: During his showdown against Agnes, [=GrandPat=] pulls a strong KillerRabbit out of his hat. Agnes turns it against him by transmuting [=GrandPat=] into a [[StockAnimalDiet carrot]], which the rabbit eats.

I think Right Behind Me is when you don't know the person is there, and Cecil didn't. If he was mocking Agnes because he didn't know it was her, that would be Right In Front Of Me.


* RightInFrontOfMe: After the Stars find out that Agnes is visiting, Cecil proceeds to imitate Agnes in a mocking tone. The bat who delivered the scroll announcing Agnes' visit ''is'' Agnes, but Cecil doesn't realize she's already in the house until he hears her clear her throat.

* FlyingBroomstick: Agnes wants to make Squidina ride a broom, but she's intimidated by it. When [=GrandPat=] falls off the house, Agnes catches him on a broom... then makes it go out of control in response to a rude comment he makes towards her.

'''Which Witch is Which?'''

'''Original air date''': 7/5/2023

Patrick and Squidina's grandmother, a Klopnodian witch names Agnes Steelhead, makes an unexpected visit. Squidina is excited to learn to use magic from her grandmother, but soon gets the idea that Agnes might not be as nice as she seems.

!!Which Witch is Which? contains examples of:

* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode focuses on Squidina.
* AlliterativeTitle: '''W'''hich '''W'''itch is '''W'''hich?
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Twisted by Agnes after her family proves unable to stand her rudeness.
-->'''Agnes''': Ah, family. Can't live with them, can't burn them at the stake...
* ComicallySmallBribe: As a last-ditch effort to prevent Squidina from sending her back to Klopnod, Agnes promises to send her a check for five dollars on her birthday.
* EvilMatriarch: Agnes not only burns down Granny Tentacles' house because she thinks it's "ugly", but convinces Squidina that ''she'' was the one who did it. She also [[KickTheDog makes Bunny's house dirty right after she cleans it]], can barely remember Cecil's or Patrick's names and sends the latter a VoodooDoll of him with nails impaled in it. Squidina ends up defeating Agnes out of anger at how badly she treats her family.
* FlyingBroomstick: Agnes wants to make Squidina ride a broom, but she's intimidated by it. When [=GrandPat=] falls off the house, Agnes catches him on a broom... then makes it go out of control in response to a rude comment he makes towards her.
* FunWithHomophones: The episode's title, since "which" and "witch" sound the same.
* GainaxEnding: Squidina doesn't actually have magical powers like we're lead to believe; she was just using video editing software. But she ''is'' a werewolf.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: A man who's waiting for the bus is lit on fire by Agnes's magic, but merely comments how hot it is and doesn't seem to be in any pain.
* MaliciousMisnaming: Agnes repeatedly misnames Cecil, and when he keeps correcting her, she tells him that he "talks too much" and shuts him up. She does this just because she doesn't like him.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: Before Squidina sees Granny Tentacles' house on fire, you can see Agnes's wand smoking and her hiding it behind her back. Squidina doesn't actually have powers at all; Agnes is {{gaslighting}} her into thinking she needs to control them better.
* ObnoxiousInLaws: Agnes disapproves of Cecil because he's not magical. She repeatedly [[MaliciousMisnaming gets his name wrong]] and Cecil is shown to dislike her back.
* PowerFloats: When Squidina uses her witch powers, she glows blue and levitates off the ground.
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Squidina gets one when she finally uses her magical powers and calls out her grandmother, who has been [[EvilMatriarch less than nice]] to the rest of the family.
-->'''Squidina''': Grandma, it was nice to meet you, but it's time for you to go! ''(uses her PsychicPowers to throw her out a window)''
* RhymingTitle: "Which" and "witch" are soundalikes.
* VoodooDoll: Agnes sends Patrick a present: a voodoo doll shaped like him, with six nails sticking out of it.
* WitchClassic: Agnes is an old woman who flies brooms, mixes potions, and has a magic wand.
