History Recap / DarkwingDuckS1E20DoubleDarkwings

* EvilSoundsDeep: Under the control of the hex, [[GutturalGrowler Launchpad speaks in a deeper, harsher voice.]]

* AbsenteeActor: For some reason, Gosalyn makes no appearances in the episode.

Jumbalaya Jake is back in town. Armed with a voodoo potion brewed by his Granny Whammy, he plans to hex Darkwing and turn him from superhero into supercriminal. Unfortunately, Darkwing has been teaching Launchpad to act as his decoy, and Jake hexes him instead.

* AllegedLookalikes: This starts the plot. Jumbalaya Jake, in a hurry to hit Darkwing with the hex, confuses Launchpad with Darkwing [[IdentityImpersonator because he's wearing a duplicate of Darkwing's outfit]] and using his trademark [[SmokeOut smoke entry]] to act as his decoy. Launchpad is tall and muscular while Darkwing is closer to average height and body-build, so presumably he would have been able to tell the difference given a little more time.

* TheBusCameBack: Jumbalaya Jake and Gumbo return after their last appearance in "[[Recap/DarkwingDuckS1E15CantBayouLove Can't Bayou Love]]".

* EvilOldFolks: Jumbalaya Jake's Granny Whammy is every bit the criminal he is.

* NeverMessWithGranny: Jumbalaya Jake, himself no weakling, is visibly nervous about making Granny Whammy mad.

* VoodooZombie: While the term "zombie" isn't used (presumably because the term now means something different), Granny Whammy's "hex" works like this, turning the person hit with it into a mindless slave. For whatever reason, it also cuts out the middle step of having the victim {{buried alive}} and dug up by the hexer.

* AllegedLookalikes: This starts the plot. Jumbalaya Jake, in a hurry to hit Darkwing with the hex, confuses Launchpad with Darkwing [[IdentityImpersonator because he's in costume as Darkwing's decoy]]. Launchpad is tall and muscular while Darkwing is closer to average height and body-build, so presumably he would have been able to tell the difference given a little more time.

* GoodNewsBadNews: After they've left their costumes on the defeated Jake and Gumbo, Darkwing tells Launchpad that fortunately, their reputations are intact, but unfortunately, they won't have costumes until they sew new ones.

* ThePunishmentIsTheCrime: Granny Whammy's way of punishing her grandson for not paying her is to un-hex Launchpad and let him and Darkwing beat him up in retribution for what he's been doing to them all episode.

* AllegedLookalikes: This starts the plot. For some reason, Jumbalaya Jake confuses Launchpad with Darkwing [[IdentityImpersonator because he's in costume as Darkwing's decoy]]. Launchpad is tall and muscular while Darkwing is closer to average height and body-build, so it shouldn't have been difficult to tell them apart.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: While training him as "Darkwing Decoy", Darkwing tries to teach Launchpad one of his moves. When Launchpad gets brainwashed, he proves to be even better at the manuever than his teacher.

* NeverMessWithGranny: At the end of the episode, Granny Whammy goes after her grandson, who failed to put aside the money to pay her for her part of the operation. (Gumbo did it instead.) Jumbalaya Jake, himself no weakling, is visibly alarmed.
* PunishmentBox: One shows up when Darkwing is wrongfully imprisoned. It's a literal small box in which he gets stuffed.

* EasyImpersonation: This starts the plot. For some reason, Jumbalaya Jake confuses Launchpad with Darkwing because he's in costume as Darkwing's decoy. Launchpad is tall and muscular while Darkwing is closer to average height and body-build, so it shouldn't have been difficult to tell them apart.

* NeverMessWithGranny: At the end of the episode, Granny Whammy goes after her grandson, who failed to put aside the money to pay her for her part of the operation. (Gumbo did it instead.) Jumbalaya Jake, himself no weakling, is visibly alarmed.

* HypercompetentSidekick: Gumbo can not only act as Jake's manservant; he knows better than he does to take care to pay Granny Whammy her money.

* ChekhovsSkill: Played with. Early in the episode, Darkwing is trying to teach Launchpad one of his moves, but can't do it. Later, after Launchpad has been hexed, he takes Darkwing out with the very same move.

* {{Brainwashed}}: The potion Jake uses on Launchpad makes him extremely obedient to orders, whatever they are. Fortunately, Jake isn't interested in having Launchpad hurt anybody so much as steal things for him.

* ChekovsSkill: Played with. Early in the episode, Darkwing is trying to teach Launchpad one of his moves, but can't do it. Later, after Launchpad has been hexed, he takes Darkwing out with the very same move.
