Recap[]
An evil demoness decides to make evil photocopy clones of June and her friends on picture day at school, so she sends her flunky to take the photographer's place. She does this as a part of her plan to use June's powers to free her father, Kordoth the Conqueror, from magical banishment. When Evil Jody, Roger and Ophelia are on the job, they try their best to capture the real June! So, when Jody just has enough of it, she zaps Juniper which makes her unconscious. Juniper wakes up and finds herself kidnapped. They've taken a picture where June was on the ground when Jody knocked her out, then they use her picture to make a clone of Juniper.
The clone gets back to the Lee residence and tries to get info out of Monroe on how to release Kordoth the Conqueror from banishment and Monroe complies because he is pleased to see Juniper take such an active interest in magical history. At the same time, June is amazed at the copies of her friends being just like them and wonders trapped at the Demoness' lair, how in the world the clones of her friends could be evil and not know what a Te Xuan Ze is under their evil employment. Clone-Jody explains that if she never told her friends, how could they possibly know? When clone-Roger messes around with some potions and gets bored, he asks June if that Te Xuan Ze thing makes her a superhero then or gives her any special powers. June tells him he'd show him if she got out of the cage somehow and clone-Roger lets her, with the other two being none the wiser until June has already left the cave.
Ray Ray is suspicious of June's extra-nice behavior when he suddenly gets a call from none other than the real June. Just as the real Juniper is done warning Ray Ray, the clone attempts to leave and as Ray Ray tries to stop her, she kicks him away. Monroe thinks that she's ready for another magic lesson and she replies "Sorry, I'm evil, ask Ray Ray." The Demoness is almost ready with the summoning site when June is suddenly discovered. The clone gets back and they both fight, with clone-June taunting and agitating real June even further.
Ray Ray and Monroe get back to help, but Monroe is unable to tell the difference, as copy-June is physically an exact replica and knows all the things that June does. Ray Ray grabs the banishment stone and aims but is unable to tell apart either. Other questions failing, he suddenly realizes who the real one is after being scolded by one June and encouraged by the other. Asking how he did it, he tells her that she's never that nice to him.... and that he could also see her zit.
They hurry back to the un-banishing, only to find as a huge explosion hits, that they are too late. Luckily for them, banishment hasn't been so kind to Kordoth and he has let himself loose.
Juniper gets ready for the next day by using a vanishing spell on her zit. At the picture Day re-take, Ray Ray has been groomed all proper and lets the photographer take the pictures as if he is a detainee at a police station. Just as June is ready to take the photo, Ray Ray suddenly jumps in with prank-glasses, antlers and buck-teeth outfit and the photo is captured with June surprised and both of them smiling.

Trivia[]
- It's seen that the clones' personalities, memories and interests are exact copies of their originals, but evil and with bad intentions. At the same time though, we see June's clone being automatically nice and well-speaking toward Monroe and Ray Ray, which eventually came to be her undoing. This implies that the clones can be opposites because they're evil copies.
- Roger: "Fly and shoot lasers out your eyes!" Might be a reference to The Powerpuff Girls, because they can fly and shoot laser beams from their eyes.
- June's middle name is revealed to be Kim.
- June's clone is banished by Ray Ray but we never see Ophelia's or the other kids' clones again.
- When Kordoth's daughter and her sidekick appeared in June's school, the photographer was able to see them. But as has been stated before, only June, Ray Ray, and Ah-Mah are the only humans who can see magical creatures. RE: Maybe they are of the magical creatures who, as was revealed in Dog Show Afternoon, normal humans can see.
- When Ray Ray is watching TV, the woman body June created two episodes earlier in Oh Brother, What Art Thou? appears in whatever he's watching. This could possibly Boomfist's sidekick, Boom Girl.
- This unnamed gym teacher seen in this episode, voiced by Kath Soucie, debuts here. Rugrats fans will hear her and possibly say that she sounds like Betty DeVille.
- The Wilhelm Scream Can Be Heard When The Abominable Snowman gets Naked then Ran Away.
- Ending Tagline: "Technically, it was a yak." - Demoness
