I've Got You Under My Skin is the twenty-third episode of the series and tenth episode of season two.
Synopsis[]
When Ah-Mah is unable to make her appointment to mediate a dispute (which would later turn out to be a trap) because her flight is cancelled, Monroe uses a magic stone to make two Junipers but Ray-Ray gets in the way of the blast and turns into Juniper's double so they turn Monroe into a Ray-Ray so their mom won't be suspicious. She has to take her grandmother's place in the negotiations, sending them to school.
Recap[]
While the kids are getting ready for school and June stops Ray Ray from hauling along a big monster in his rucksack, Ah-Mah calls in the morning to tell June and Monroe that she's stuck out of town and her flight is cancelled because the dragon she was booked on got sick as a result of eating too many quesadillas.
In her stead she tasks June to go the Goblins and Gnomes conference to negotiate peace between the two. June can't go without taking care of her school attendance first though, so her and Monroe decide to create a body-double for her. Ray Ray hears them doing magic though and jumps into June's room, right between June and the body-double ray, making him the double instead. Enjoying his increased height and new long flowy hair, Ray Ray expects to have powers like hers too. He doesn't and June wants to make another double, but the crystal is out of juice, so they opt to make a double for Ray Ray instead. Monroe and Ray Ray as Ray Ray and June go to school and June sets way for the negotiation talks.
At the school, Ray Ray gets bored and causes trouble for June, getting sent to the principal's office. Meanwhile, Monroe makes Ray Ray out to be smarter and more attentive than he usually is.
At the conference, the gnomes and goblins are not getting along at all, resulting in petty reasons for their fight. Finally, June is fed up with the disputes between the negotiators and tells them to clear their differences up. During the break, the gnomes feign trust and gratefulness and offer her some time in their "Recreational room". This turns out to be a trap originally set for Jasmine Lee. June is attacked by a monster.
Back at the school, Ray Ray notices a monster approaching the school and rushes to tell Monroe, who can't get out of class. Enlisting Ray Rays help, he stages trouble and is sent to the principal's office as well. They try to face the monster but since they are both without a plan, they just try to distract it.
Back at the negotiation rooms, the gnomes are waiting for their hit-monster to finish the job but when the monster opens the door, he falls on the ground with June standing behind him, ready to smack down on the gnomes. The gnomes tell her they didn't know it wasn't gonna be her grandma and expected less resistance and but since she didn't go to school, they must in the clear. Sudden realization hitting her, June leaves as quick as possible.
Ray Ray ends up actually having fun using June's height and longs legs to outrun the monster despite having no extra powers and gives credit to the ton of sugar he eats every day. Monroe can't keep up but they both concoct a plan and defeat the gladiator monster, getting it stuck in the sandbox.
June arrives on scene, but seeing that they got ahold of the situation without her, watches as the two congratulate each-other and start walking back home.
At the end of the school day, the crystal has charged enough to change them all back, but changes the kids into Monroe.
