Line #1 Recap/DuckTalesS1E37SendInTheClones


1	Everyone begins seeing double when Magica [=DeSpell=] gets the Beagle Boys to help her steal the Number One Dime, disguising them as the nephews. Can the nephews expose them before the dime is stolen and before Mrs. Beakley loses her mind?
2
3	!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:
4
5	* BodySnatcher: Having been to a movie about aliens "quacker-snatching" people beforehand, this is the triplets' first thought as to what's happened to Mrs. Beakley (and, later, Huey) when they return to Scrooge's mansion to find Mrs. Beakley (actually Magica) not acting like herself, at least until they find out what's ''really'' going on.
6	* BlatantLies: When Dewey and Louie find Burger, who's disguised as Huey, they tie him up to a chair. When Scrooge sees this, he's about to untie Burger, thinking he really ''is'' Huey, when Mrs. Walters heads into the room and sees what's happening. Scrooge's reaction? He tells her that he's just playing cowboys and Indians with his nephews.
7	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Huey and Mrs. Beakley are trapped in Magica's hideout, Huey decides to "fight fire with fire". Mrs. Beakley immediately tells him that it's not safe to play with matches.
8	-->'''Huey:''' No, not ''real'' fire! Watch!
9	* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: When Magica undoes her spell and Burger, disguised as Huey, is turned back to his normal self, he refuses to tell Scrooge, Dewey, and Louie where the real Huey is, [[TemptingFate saying there's nothing they can do to make him talk.]] Scrooge tells him "No supper", and [[BigEater Burger]] spills the beans on the real Huey's whereabouts.
10	* DoubleTake: "Scrooge and his nephews, ''[Burger returns to normal]'' playing Beagle Boys and Indians. ({{beat}}) BEAGLE BOYS?!"
11	* EatenAlive: Inverted, in that Magica (disguised as Mrs. Beakley) tells the nephews to "Eat your soup while it's still alive!" It's unsure why she served them whatever the creature was.
12	* ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Mrs. Walters, the reporter who is trying to interview Scrooge for the magazine she works for throughout the episode.
13	* {{Fainting}}: Mrs. Beakley is forced to faint by Magica.
14	* FaintInShock: Mrs. Beakley has an OhCrap reaction and faints when she holds Big Time and Baby Face Beagle, who are disguised as Dewey and Louie, [[TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf in front of a mirror]].
15	* ForcedTransformation:
16	** Big Time Beagle gets transformed into a dragon at one point in the episode. Actually, he didn't mind it -- it made it easier for him to threaten the kidnapped Huey.
17	** Additionally, Huey is briefly turned into a baby chicken and a pig, Magica is turned into a crow (like her brother), and both Big Time and Baby Face undergo numerous transformations during the climax.
18	* GlamourFailure: Magica's spell that turns the Beagle Boys into copies of Scrooge's nephews. While they looked like Huey, Dewey, and Louie, their reflections in mirrors revealed their true selves. They also still kept their original voices, which was even pointed out by Scrooge when Magica disguised herself as Mrs. Beakley and he asked her why she now talked with an accent.
19	* GoingForTheBigScoop: Mrs. Walters stows away in a helicopter with Scrooge and the others as they set off to get back the Number One Dime and save Huey and Mrs. Beakley.
20	--> '''Mrs. Walters:''' Wait! My readers deserve the ''real'' scoop!
21	* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Webra Walters is the standard comedienne's imitation of Creator/BarbaraWalters, as established by Creator/GildaRadner.
22	* TheMirrorShowsYourTrueSelf: The snafu of Magica's spell, as mentioned under GlamourFailure.
23	* ReplacedWithReplica: Played With. Scrooge apparently gives Magica his Number One Dime for Huey, but as Scrooge and his family are leaving, he reveals that he actually gave Magica a regular dime and got his real Number One Dime back.
24	-->"I didn't get rich by being stupid, now did I?"
25	* ScaledUp: Big Time Beagle temporarily becoming a dragon during the climax of the episode.
26	* ShoutOut: The title is a reference to [[Theatre/ALittleNightMusic "Send in the Clowns"]].
27	* VillainTeamUp: Magica De Spell and the Beagle Boys.
28	* YouAreGrounded: Scrooge grounds the triplets (actually the disguised Beagle Boys) after they cause trouble for Mrs. Beakley and Webby and blow up Scrooge's study searching for the Number One Dime. Needless to say, the ''real'' triplets are confused as to why Uncle Scrooge is so mad at them for leaving their room when they return from the movie they went to see earlier.
29	-->'''Nephews:''' [[BewilderingPunishment What did we do?]]\
30	'''Scrooge:''' [[GoToYourRoom Go!]]
