*** Sadly when a show becomes [[CashCowFranchise: popular and drags on for too long]], it suffers from a [[DependingOnTheArtist,DependingOnTheWriter]] syndrome. As in new writers of each episodes writes in new trivias that were not cannon in the original episodes contradicting the characters drastically from their origins. For example: In the episode titled "Aliens!" in season 1, Alex states that she is a Virgo. But in later seasons, she says she's a Pieces. In "Wild Style" season 1, Alex is clearly seen sneezing violently at Clover who was turned into a were-cat stating that she has severe cat allergies. But in season 6 episode 2 "Cat Fight!", Alex turns into a were-cat and should have just imploded by herself, but nope. she is fine and is not showing any signs of severe bloating, asphyxiation or even violent sneezing.

** It's not done arbitrarily. The reasons shows do this is to avoid insulting actual existing countries and people. So they make up a fictional country or historical character if said country or character are evil and corrupt. Instead of using actual countries like for example: Cuba or Che Guevara as an example of corruption and a corrupted leader which may or may not be true, (considering that both were viewed as tyrant corrupted country and leader but were viewed as heroes in their respective countries), or when the actual ruler is still around and alive which could become an international problem the least punishment would be the ban of the show or cartoon. It's only logical to create fictional countries or fictional historical characters to avoid direct insulting of actual existing countries and people if said country or character are villains.

* ''HOW'' do you unlock a door with a ''Can opener''?! I might believe that maybe they could use a can opener to break in if they like smashed a window with it (It's plausible - concentrate enough force and you can crack a window then break it, it'd work better on some older windows admittedly) yet we see Sam using a can opener on the door. Just... ''HOW''?!? Even if she tried to break the lock on it, you'd still have to be able to rotate the can opener or the door enough to literally ''break'' the lock off or even the knob. But just... ''HOW''?!

*** In the movie she humiliated them by using a latte machine to spill so much drink at them they fall outside the cafeteria, where the girls clothes are ruined after they decide to be besties. (Don’t question if latte machines, like that, exist in real life, or if the drinks are any good, just be happy you get to see Clover’s feet.)

** Clover’s been forced to turn against her friends a lot in the show so this episode gave her a break.



** Likely a midlife crisis the girls were previously made aware of. If their mothers just got make overs, to look more like their their daughters, so they could surprise them. Then the girls would definitely question their mothers. As for the redesign reason well other than to confuse the audience, no I really can’t think of one. (Their mothers at least look less like clones of their daughters in season six... Thank god! (Although what was with them giving Alex’s dad a redesign in that same season?)

season? I have to assume that dad is a different person... So Alex’s mom got remarried to Alex’s step dad while Alex was a baby explaining why she called him one of her parents, when they call her. But her birth dad also wanted to be in her life, so much so she also thinks of him as her dad. So she has two dads. One who’s a hard ass and one who is nice, if embarrassing.)

to:

** His family’s family owned a mom and pop store that was bought out, although seeing as he was in charge, he by a luxury department store (likely based on a real life store). He could of refused them and their money but he was overruled by others (who read his diary and saw he was crazy). The department store and malls around the money.
world reminded him of everything he hates (luxury, shopping, free will, people, fun.) So he tried to destroy all of the malls in the world by force. (Before online shopping truly took off among everyone).

Added DiffLines:

* As the show goes on there is something strange that has to be addressed. Do we ever get an explanation for the redesign for the girls' mothers? They don't look exactly like the girls at first but you could still easily tell who was related to who. But in later episodes? They look like exact copies of the girls with some wrinkles! Did they go through a midlife crisis or something so they wanted to regain some lost youth by looking like their daughters? And was there any point to this redesign?
