Here's my overall review of this episode:

Up until now, I haven't had very high regards for Victoria's acting. But this episode really blew me over. Her acting was just so passionate and believeable that I barely recgonized it. Victoria is starting to change the opinion of her that I've been holding for a long time: That she reached her peak on Zoey 101 and slid downhill from there. Furthermore, the sub-plot with Cat and Jade had me in two minds. On the one hand, it was definitely good for comic relief considering how creepy and oddly serious the main plot is. But on the other hand, I feel that Jade's becoming more of a psychopath than she needs to be. I understand that the writers are playing up the fact that she's bitter and all that, but this seems a bit over the top for me. I mean, trying to kill someone just because they ACCIDENTALLY shaved off your eyebrows? But still, a decent sub-plot.

Despite being an obvious attempt at recreating Nora on a different show, Ponnie is definitely one of the best characters ever to appear on Victorious. It's obvious that Jennette puts a lot of passion into her acting, something I really admire.

Why was Trina in the episode at all? I know that she's technically a main character, but do they have to insert her into every episode? This particular episode didn't really need her at all. If they had taken out her part, it wouldn't have made the slightest difference. It was like she was just there for a quick little joke or because she begged Dan to let her be in the episode so he hastily arranged an insignifcant sub-plot for her.

Besides the thing with Trina, this episode was definitely one of the best. I hope the show will go upward from here, along with Victoria's acting.
