Trading Faces (Adventures of the Gummi Bears)

"Trading Faces" is the sixty-fourth episode of the Adventures of the Gummi Bears. It premiered on February 19, 1991, and is the sixteenth episode of the sixth and final season.
==Plot==
While thwarting yet one more attempt of Igthorn to claim rulership with the Gummies helping secretly, Sir Tuxford is injured, landing on Gruffi when he accidentally triggers one of the traps in Gummi Glen. 
With the Captain of the Guard out of action, Sir Victor is called in to defend Dunwyn for the period of Tuxford's recovery. Meanwhile, Gruffi decides that protecting Dunwyn themselves is getting too dangerous and insists his community stop. However, Grammi insists that he tell Cavin and Princess Calla himself, quietly confident that he will not be able to bring himself to do it.
Victor proves effective in enforcing the castle's security, but Igthorn hits upon a plan to use his likeness to his brother to conquer Dunwyn after all. To do so, he lures and captures Victor to steal his clothes as a disguise, with further orders to Toadwart to get rid of him and his steed, Destiny.
In Dunwyn Castle, Duke Igthorn has some difficulty finding King Gregor, but his disguise is effective enough with only Cavin and Calla becoming suspicious. Meanwhile, Gruffi finds himself hesitant to disappoint his human friends, but is forced to hide in Cavin's quarters with the castle's occupants being too numerous in the area to sneak out. After dealing with a banquet in his brother's honor, Duke Igthorn eventually kidnaps Gregor.
Soon, Zummi comes to convince Gruffi to stop his abandonment of Dunwyn, but the argument is put on hold when Cavin arrives to tell them his suspicions about Victor's strange behavior. Cavin soon tells them that the King and Victor are missing, and the three finally realize the deception.
Meanwhile, Toadwart in Drekmore takes his sweet time torturing Victor and Destiny with his bad acting, thus allowing Gruffi and Zummi to secretly save them from falling into a pit full of crocodiles. Now, with Victor riding Destiny through the castle in his underwear, they meet Cavin, and Victor gets the idea of turning tables on Duke Igthorn by impersonating him. The trick works, Duke Igthorn is defeated, and the Gummies and Dunwynians escape.
At the end, King Gregor decorates Victor for his bravery, while Cavin tells Gruffi that the good knight could not have succeeded without his help. To that, Gruffi decides that helping defend Dunwyn is worthwhile after all.

*"Trading Faces" is coincidentally also the name of a Darkwing Duck, a Kim Possible, and a Penn Zero episode.

*Internationally, the sixth season follows a slightly different order (likely following the intended production order more closely), as the events from the (preceding) two-parter "King Igthorn", are canonically set after the events of this episode.
