[[WMG: If there is a season 3, it's the real kids finding out about their digital copies]]
* The clones go through a lot of CharacterDevelopment, helped by the fact that their memories aren't wiped the way their real-life counterparts lost theirs. This has the unfortunate effect, however, of the human Vanessa not realizing that she caused more damage in what she thought was a harmless video game. If she actually knew the full consequences of her actions then she wouldn't be so quick as to brush it off as trying to gain an edge in what was supposed to be a friendly competition. That would spur her arc in turn and it could be a contrast with that of duplicate Vanessa's.
