Individuals enthralled by Jasmine snap out of it when exposed to her blood, so the Bullet Time Cam shows that the bullet carried Jasmine's blood with it as it entered Angel's body.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: The episode title has multiple meanings:
** It refers to the bullet that Fred uses to expose Angel to Jasmine's blood
** It refers to the "Magic Bullet" theory of President UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy's assassination introduced by the Warren Commission to explain how a single bullet caused seven wounds during the assassination. As part of that theory, the "magic bullet" passed through JFK's body and then traveled through John Connelly's body as well. Jasmine references the assassination when she tells Ted that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
** "The Magic Bullet" is the name of the shop Fred goes to, since the shopkeeper is obsessed with conspiracy theories and the JFK assassination
** Additionally, a "magic bullet" is a concept by Dr. Paul Ehrlich for a treatment that cures specific diseases without harming the host. Similarly, Fred looks for a way to break people of Jasmine's control (disease), without harming them (host). In this case, the magic bullet ends up being a literal bullet infected with Jasmine's blood.
** It refers to Jasmine's mind control, which she saw as the solution to human misery.
