This episode used to be my favorite, but after rewatching it, I'm mehhh about it. It's still in my top five because I love Scarlett, but like Bigez said, this episode built up a lot of potential for our favorite character(s) and then let it all burn.

This would've been a better "conclusion" for Scarlett & Max if they would've built up Scarlett's bad side some more. I've been waiting since Scarlett's first evil intention for this episode, as by the title I knew that this was going to be the crazy chick's biggest hit.

I kind of feel like the writers designed Scarlett's story as a "better" Mal. Well, at least they tried to. Think about it: Mal had some backstory that was never revealed, he planned on killing everybody else and then claiming the million, but he was defeated by a button... Scarlett at least revealed SOME of her backstory, she did plan on killing everybody else and then claiming the million, but she was defeated by buttons - "CTRL+ALT+DELTE." See what I mean?

And Max's elimination felt forced. He could've stayed, I wouldn't have minded. I just wish Scarlett would've done something actually antagonistic like all of the other villains did (even Mal), not just something completely psychotic.
