Played Straight with Malcolm, when they remove the block that keeps the guillotine blade from slicing the user, and then mortally wound him with the guillotine.

Blood from the Mouth: Christopher has blood coming out of his mouth after using his magic guillotine on himself. He was faking it as part of his prank. Played Straight with Malcolm, when they remove the block that keeps the guillotine blade from slicing the user, and then mortally wound him with the guillotine.

Cassandra Truth: When Linda accuses Christopher of making Prank Calls to her over the phone, he denies it (Malcolm's the one making the calls). Thanks to all the pranks he's pulled on her over the course of the night, Linda doesn't believe him for a moment.
