Line #18 Recap/TheSecretShowS1E12MirrorMirror


1	Due to a comet circling the earth, all mirrors lead to a MirrorWorld where T.H.E.M. rules the world and U.Z.Z. has been reduced to a pizza delivery service. For the Doctor Doctor of this world, however, it's not enough; she wants our world too, and she kidnaps World Leader to get her crown.

3	'''Changed Daily's Name: Iva Twinkletoe'''
4	----
5	!!Secret Tropes Discovered:
6	* AlliterativeName:
7	** "Doctor Doctor Doctor Doctor," as proposed by Professor Professor.
8	** "Professor Pizza" from the MirrorWorld.
9	* TheBadGuyWins: Doctor Doctor from the MirrorWorld actually succeeds in defeating U.Z.Z. and turning them into a pizzeria.
10	* CallBack: To [[Recap/TheSecretShowS1E3BogieBall "Bogie Ball"]], as the events of the MirrorWorld when Victor and Anita arrive are related to that episode's conclusion.
11	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: Professor Professor notes that his mirror reflection has a large white hat on, which directly foreshadows his AlternateSelf being a pizza chef. Professor Pizza is properly introduced a few minutes later.
12	* IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect: Subverted. According to Professor Professor, when the dimensional doors close, if things aren't in their proper place (as in, the worlds they came from), ''both'' will ''explode''. Everyone has prepared for the worst when they realize they got all their people out successfully, but left Doctor Doctor behind... but the calculations turn out to be, in Iva Twinkletoe's words, "completely and utterly ''wrong''."
13	* LateArrivalSpoiler: This episode directly connects to the episode [[Recap/TheSecretShowS1E3BogieBall "Bogie Ball"]], as it directly references its ending where the AlternateSelf Victor, Anita, and Alphonse go the wrong way and get captured, leading to T.H.E.M actually winning.
14	* MirrorWorld: The premise of the episode is that mirrors no longer work the way they're supposed to due to the effect of a comet in the solar system. As long as the comet is in range, the mirrors will act as gateways to and from a world where things are reversed.
15	* NotMeThisTime: Iva Twinkletoe blames Doctor Doctor for the kidnapping of the World Leader when, in fact, she had nothing to do with it. It was an ''alternate'' Doctor Doctor who had kidnapped her. It takes a while before the actual Doctor Doctor gets involved in the story proper.
16	* OnceAnEpisode:
17	** The Fluffy Bunny Show: Sweet Little Granny, as well as the bunnies and the set itself, get attached by balloons and float away, while feeling very light-headed.
18	** Victor and Anita land on their sky-bikes after the title sequence, being late to the World Leader's meeting.
19	** Changed Daily's name is now "Iva Twinkletoe".
20	* RunningGag:
21	** The Victors acting like monkeys and being told to stop by the Anitas.
22	** The alternate Victor and Anita turning right instead of left when escaping T.H.E.M.
23	* SomethingWeForgot: Victor realizes they left Doctor Doctor back in the MirrorWorld after he and Anita have already escaped.
24	* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Victor and Anita are so busy trying to escape the MirrorWorld that they forget to bring Doctor Doctor with them. As a result, Doctor Doctor is trapped in the MirrorWorld and forced to fight her AlternateSelf for quite some time.
25	* WholePlotReference: This episode shares many of the beats from the ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode [[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror "Mirror Mirror"]], which also deals with alternate counterparts and a MirrorUniverse.
