A few more episodes of
Wicked Science. The one in which Toby builds a robot double for Dina so it can cover her shift at work while she goes on a date was actually a really funny comedy episode, even if Toby doing this to enable a girl he clearly fancies to go out with someone else is cucked almost beyond belief.
The second was... interesting, but with a really infuriating ending. Disappointed by his romantic failures, Toby comes up with a way to attract girls with pheromones, only to realise how iffy an idea that is by Dina's furious reaction. Unfortunately the vial then gets stolen by idiot bully Garth, and released into the air conditioning at the school dance... This is interesting, not least because all of the chaos in this episode is ultimately Toby's fault. Elizabeth is doing nothing more than organising the dance, and in a very amusing Monica Gellar-esque manner ("Start having fun" she tells two bored students, "
now!"
) Although initially cheesed off by the dance turning to chaos, she's actually quite impressed when she realises it's all Toby's fault.
Unfortunately, this episode ends with another, even more horrendous reminder, of Why We Should All Hate Dina, who appears to (despite clearly having no interest in Toby romantically) fly into a jealous rage just at the sight of Elizabeth and Toby having a quiet private conversation, begins loudly verbally abusing her, and then graduates to full-on physical assault. Wait,
what?! Again, I'm in a quandary as to whether the show actually expects us to
like Dina, because at this point I wouldn't blame Elizabeth for showing up at school with a handgun the next day and shooting this bitch. WTF.
Again, I reiterate - Elizabeth does
nothing wrong in this episode, and gets assaulted for talking to the guy she actually does like (as opposed to keeping around like a pet, Dina
).
Is there a We Hate Dina Club I can join? F**k me!
