History Recap / TeenTitansS1E7Switched

* OpenMouthInsertFoot: While Starfire freaks out about the Puppet King switching their bodies and controlling the bodies of their friends, she says "What if I am stuck looking like this forever?!". Shortly after this, Raven says "What's wrong with the way I look?", Starfire then gets sacred and says "Nothing!".

* FailedASpotCheck: After switching bodies, Starfire and Raven don't notice that they've switched bodies until they look at each other, despite the fact that Starfire's body has much more hair and their two bodies were wearing very different outfits which cover different parts of their bodies (and Raven's body was wearing a cape and didn't have a skirt).

* MarilynManeuver: It's blink-and-you'll-miss-it, but as the switched Starfire and Raven are walking on the sidewalk and Starfire-as-Raven's emotional rambling makes Raven's powers go haywire, her magic makes some newsstands shoot papers into the sky, and the gust of air blows Raven-as-Starfire's skirt up and she's forced to push it down. Kind of an odd gesture for someone who walks around publicly in a leotard...

* Killed Mid-Sentence: It Happens the Puppet King once his controller is destroyed and the magic giving him life wears off.

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: All the Titans souls are presented in their signature color's so you know who's is who's. Robin's is Red, Cyborg's Blue, Beast Boy's Green, Raven's Purple and Starfire's Orange.

* VoicesAreMental: Interestingly, the voices were originally supposed to stay with the body, but because Creator/TaraStrong and Creator/HyndenWalch were so good at imitating each others' characters' voices, the directors decided to just have them keep their voices.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As it turns out, it takes more than [[InAnotherMansShoes walking in each other's shoes]] to make two people understand. At one point, Raven even lampshades "You may have my body, but you don't know anything about me." What truly gaps the rift between Raven and Starfire is getting acquainted by talking with each other.

* NearVillainVictory: Twice in this episode, where Puppet King is ''that'' close to eliminating the Titans permanently. He managed to take control of Robin, Cyborg and Beast Boy, and would've possessed Starfire and Raven if Raven didn't manage to let out a weak "Azareth Metrion Zinthos..." in the last minute. He was also literally a second away from incinerating the puppets of the boys before he's interrupted by a starbolt, making him perhaps the most successful villain at this poiny of the series.

They spend the next few minutes being chased through Jump City while trying to figure out how to use the other's powers, often with hilarious results. They soon realise that if they want the knowledge of the other's powers so they can rescue their other three friends, they'll both need to know more about each other. After trading life stories and power knowhow with one another, they eventually find the Puppet King in an auditorium, where he's getting ready to toss the wooden Titans into a magical cauldron where they and, yes, their spirits, will be destroyed. Fortunately, Starven and Rafire jump in to save the day! The latter uses Raven's telekinesis to take the wooden puppets from the Puppet King's grasp, while the former uses Starfire's starbursts to send the controller flying into the cauldron.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: A few later episodes (like "Apperantice pt. 2" and "Aftershocks pt. 1" ) firmly established that Raven has the ability to sense if someone is under MindControl or NotHimself, thanks to her telepathic powers. So it's a bit of an oddity that she can't tell her teammates are being possessed in this one.

* MarionetteMaster: The episode's Villain-of-the-Week, Puppet King, who imprisons souls of Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg in his puppets anf controlling their bodies as his pawns.

* NearVillainVictory: Twice in this episode, where Puppet King is ''that'' close to eliminating the Titans permanently. He managed to take control of Robin, and Beast Boy, and would've posessed Starfire and Raven if Raven didn't manage to let out a weak "Azareth Metrion Zinthos..." in the last minute. He was also literally a second away from incinerating the puppets of the boys before he's interrupted by a starbolt, making him perhaps the most successful villain at this poiny of the series.

* NoOntologicalIntertia: Destroying Puppet King's remote automatically erases all traces of his magic, releasing the souls imprisoned in his puppets, allowing Raven and Starfire to switch their bodies back, and revert Puppet King back to a regular puppet.
