Okay, so, seeing the comments, I can tell that a lot of people don't like this episode. I guess I can kind of see why---Anais' behavior is a pretty extreme change compared to her usual self, and the idea IS a bit cliché. But honestly, I liked this episode. Sure, it's not the most original plot, but it actually subversed a lot of clichés as well. I found Anais' evil side hilarious (don't ask me why, I'm just weird). And honestly, all of you who are upset by Anais' behavior---what were you expecting? We all know that Anais is a genius, and despite usually having a conscience, she's also been shown to be very morally ambiguous. Yes, her actions here were sadistic, and no, I don't agree with them, but it's possible she thought that's how it's SUPPOSED to go. Basically, I liked the episode, and while it's fine to have a different opinion, keep in mind that a) a lot of these episodes are experimental, and b) it's a kids show. A clever and mature kids show, but a kids show nothingless. It's probably not that big a deal.
