Recap / Sabrina The Animated Series Upside Down Town

Go To

Sabrina uses a magical cookbook to bake an upside down cake for a block party that changes the personalities of everyone who eats it — including making Harvey evil and making Gem nice and aware that Sabrina is a witch.

Tropes:

  • An Aesop: According to Pi, bad people aren’t all bad, they just have “dirty windows”.
  • Funny Background Event: Two of them involving animals.
    • A mouse fights against radioactive scrambled pizza during Gem’s conversation.
    • The episode ends with a roach in a trash can eating what’s left of the cake and becoming a conspiracy theorist, which makes its fellow roaches laugh.
  • Personality Swap: The effect of Sabrina’s cake. It results in:
    • Salem becomes generous
    • Harvey becomes a troublemaking bully
    • Principal Bleachstain becomes youthful
    • Uncle Quigley becomes a rebellious biker
    • Zelda and Hilda swap personalities
    • Gem becomes nice and knows about Sabrina’s secret
    • Pi and Slugloaf have the weirdest changes to a yuppie and a bard respectively.
  • Running Gag: After Salem eats a sample of the cake and becomes generous, the family bring up the times he would demand catnip. Upon returning to normal, he would then actually do so.
  • Tsundere: Gem is shown to act like a platonic version of this after returning to normal.
