Dakota was the most developed character in Season 4, she went in as a snobby brat who demanded screen time and underwent this transformation. For some reason, they thought it would be funny to turn her into a monster, which was made only so Sam can "get the girl of his dreams", but it wasn't really needed. Sam liked her before just fine. She was simply a tool for Sam, which became apparent to me the next season when Sam returned. Dakota was never meant to be anything more than a joke, and that is really sad because she really was the best developed character. They can only make jokes now apparently.

I don't hate the episode, nor do I think it is the worst episode of the season. I see the humor in it. But I do hate that Dakota was created just to mutate. Dakotazoid and Freakzekiel are abominations.
