Also, why does Willow worry about not having enough 'credits' to get into the same college as Alfie? England has a system of GCSEs at 16, and A Levels at 18. University acceptance is done on having specific or relevant A Levels and specific grades, whereas college usually just needs 5 passes at A-C. So if Willow was failing a certain course (like business studies), she could just retake the specific exams that she failed. Also, if they mean college (16-18, to do A Levels, or other Futher educations), most schools have those colleges attached to them, as do most independent schools (which the unnamed school that Anubis house is attached to is likely to be).

If the boarding school is in the U.K. (presumably England), why is there an American style graduation ceremony, complete with robes, diplomas and a valedictorians?

Why didn't Joy get trouble for the article she wrote about Nina? She used the school blog to viciously attack another student! No school I'm aware of would allow such behavior to go unpunished yet Joy walks away from the incident without so much as a detention or even a scolding! I don't care if she was jealous or feeling left out, Joy should have been punished for her actions and yet she wasn't. What. The. Hell?!

** Actually, he didn't know until much later. In the finale, he himself said he had been neglecting his research for far too long. And when we did find out, he made sure Rufus DID take the mask, knowing what'd happen. As for what he wanted the Mask for, he wanted it for the Tears of Gold, as they were the missing indregient for his life-elixir. Though he gave up the then-last one for Joy (showing he's a NobleDemon who does care for the kids), he finds one hidden in his father's ring.

* The Season 2 finale reveals that Victor knew fully well what would happen if someone who wasn't pure of heart wore the Mask. (And let's face it, though he's not as evil as [[CompleteMonster Rufus]], he probably doesn't qualify.) Furthermore, even if it isn't your intention to access the Egyptian afterlife, it's stated clearly that only TheChosenOne could make the Mask produce Tears of Gold. Victor had no means to force Nina to wear the mask, so what was he planning to do if he got it?

** Considering everyone but Rufus didn't know about the exchange, everyone minus Victor gave up being involved in Season 2, and these people aren't that bad in the first place, it's not really that much an issue.



** Good question, and there is no answer without speculation right now. If there's a Season 3 though, we'll probably find out then.

* In the finale, Nina gives Victor a ring that was left to him by his father. When he puts it on, it glows and opens to reveal a Tear of Gold, the elixir ingredient. While this makes for a nice cliffhanger, it doesn't really add up: Victor's dad said that he never found the Mask of Anubis and died trying to get it's power, so how did he get one?
