* AndIMustScream: Blossom manages to somehow switch places with Abracadaver while under hypnosis.

Had she not made the switch, she would’ve semi-consciously faced her own demise and her sister's most likely would have died.

* IdenticalStranger: Blossom (and her sisters to an extent) looks ''exactly'' like the young girl responsible for Al Lusion's death. When said magician revived as a zombie, he sets his target on Blossom, assuming that she's the same girl that he wanted revenge on.
* IronMaiden: The titular Villain of the Episode was a magician who died from an iron maiden-like coffin after a little girl pushed him for losing her toy. After he was revived as a zombie, Abracadaver exacted revenge towards Blossom, who resembles that little girl decades ago, by hypnotizing her and sealing her inside the iron maiden. At the end, the Abracadaver reveals to be Blossom, and Blossom did the switcheroo by sealing the zombie inside the maiden.
* LovelyAssistant: A massively dark example as Blossom is forced into this position when Abracadaver mistakes her for the girl who ruined his career and brainwashes her. Bubbles and Buttercup could count when the zombie magician uses his magic to put them in fatal magician-like scenarios a female assistant would normally find herself in.
