* [[As Herself]]: Samantha Ireland is dual-billed as Nora and herself at the end of
* [[Ash Face]]: Both Roman and Neo, in
* [[Back from the Dead]]: Pyrrha in
* [[Big Eater]]: Nora.
* [[Big Friendly Dog]]: Zwei, though it's mostly the perspective change that make him look bigger, but Blake does not feel the same and goes to insane lengths to hide from him.

* [[Big No]]: Yang for Ruby during the pillow fight in
* [[Black Comedy]]: A surprising moment in

* [[Cross-Popping Veins]]: Yang in
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Ruby, at times.
