Added DiffLines:
* DontShootTheMessage: The anti-PlayingTheVictimCard message in this episode comes off as rather shoddy to say the least. Not once does anyone admit that [[NoSympathy their attitude]] is the reason Heidi and Kyle acted the way they did or do Heidi's friends show Heidi any sympathy for how Cartman abused her after going back to him (which is the reason she turned against them in the first place). While their retribution was overblown (especially Kyle's), neither Kyle or Heidi's friends receive any punishment for borderline bullying them, [[DoubleStandard with only Cartman, Kyle, and Heidi's actions being taken accountable]]. The message instead can come across as "FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse justifies not giving said people any support for what they've gone through".

Moving to the YMMV page of the series as a whole, since the trope doesn't apply to the episode itself

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Heidi breaks up with Cartman for good, and her ending implies that she’ll still be a recurring character, making amends with Kyle and the other kids and even having a more fleshed out personality besides being a former love interest of Cartman. Sadly, this ending seemed to be little more than an excuse to [[DemotedtoExtra put her to the sidelines again]], as she has not been even remotely relevant in later seasons. Given the controversial reception Matt and Trey received on their relationship with as well as serialized formats as a whole, it doesn’t appear Heidi will ever be given true justice.

* JerkassWoobie: Despite the cruel person that Heidi has turned into, she isn't treated as a victim of an emotionally abusive relationship any less. She never really chose to become a DistaffCounterpart of her boyfriend, Cartman, and actually ''hates'' what she has turned into. She blames Cartman for molding her into his image and was about to kill him because of it, only to realize it was her own fault because, even if she didn't stop to think about it and explicitly decide "this is what I'm going to do," she kept building off using her role as a victim, eventually culminating in her trying to justify being awful. She decides that she no longer wants to be this trope by dumping Cartman.
