Go To

The thirty-eighth episode of the first season of the 2007 revival series of The Magic Roundabout.

Tropes featured in the episode:

  • Easily Forgiven: Florence was livid at Dougal for tricking her where he replicated the same magic hat. After she makes a compromise of them both wishing their hats away which they do so, Florence doesn't seem to show any grudge against him after that.
  • Failed a Spot Check: After Dougal summoned a bone when wearing the magic hat under Florence's watchful eyes, she asks him to give the hat back. Even though she was clearly standing in front of Dougal, Florence was unaware that Dougal was secretly and quietly muttering to himself under his breath to summon another magic hat that appears behind him which Florence didn't see.
  • Rule of Three: Zebedee gets asked three times at the start of the episode before he has the chance to leave for his holiday. Dylan comes to ask him to repair the tune of his guitar, Brian asks him to cure his cold and Florence asks him to grow some flowers for Ermintrude. Zebedee obliges to the former two, but he catches on when he is asked by the latter where he nominates her to be his replacement wizard while he is away on holiday.
  • Sorcerer's Apprentice Plot: Florence became Zebedee's replacement wizard while he is away on holiday and she uses the magic hat wisely, though she lets Dougal to wear it only once. Of course, when it comes to do a lot of housework, Florence makes it easier for herself to use the magic to sort out the housework. She reverses the spell that Dougal has done to Dylan and Brian before she finds Dougal to deal with him. Unfortunately, she forgot to stop the spell on the broom which caused a big mess in the interior of her house. Luckily, Zebedee returns to stop the spell and Florence and her friends tidy up the mess the normal old-fashioned way.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Florence sternly calls Dougal out for tricking her into letting him wearing the hat so he can replicate the hat where he produces numerous tricks and spells on his friends.
