Tedd was a girl at the time


* Tedd manages to work out exactly how the Will's thought processes work, why magic is so confusing to humans and how to make the Will understand exactly how humanity currently operates within seconds. And with that insight, he manages to explain his position to Magic in a way it could understand, ultimately convincing Magic that changing the rules severely is a ''bad'' idea! For bonus points, this means that Tedd and Pandora succeeded in breaking the status quo! The main thing stopping them from giving magic to everyone was the Will of Magic itself threatening a system change, but Tedd managed to convince it to go along with its reveal!

[[AC:The Road Ahead]]
* Susan gets a bunch of very vague comments about change on Susan's review videos. Then she notices that the username of the person leaving the comments is "Deus-D-Minus-4", which Susan almost immediately deduces is code for "Zeus". From her, she pieces together that Zeus has sent her a secret message telling her that immortal law has been changed to give them more freedom, but as an unintended side effect, immortals can no longer be intangible (though they can still turn invisible). Mr. Verres, aside from confirming that there's proof that Susan is at the right conclusion, is impressed by Susan's critical thinking since most people would ignore unexpected secret messages like this (though Susan in this case caught it because the messages all referenced change at a time when she felt frustrated about the changes in her life), and she's able to back her conclusion with educated guesses and logic.

* At a meta level the foreshadowing of Pandora's sacrifice is awesome. Pandora's thought that "[[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2437 only one of us is in danger]]" seems to refer to Susan, however in retrospect it becomes clear that Pandora was referring to herself. Susan was never in danger since Pandora was already planning to perform a HeroicSacrifice to save Raven, Susan and Diane if necessary.

* Susan gets another [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1801 here]], when she meets with Ashley, Tom's ex. Ashley feels like an idiot, since Susan figured out in one day what it took her two months to discover. Susan delivers an inspiring and spot-on speech, assuring Ashley that Tom is the only one to blame for his manipulations, and that Ashley should ''never'' feel it's her own fault she was tricked. Even more awesome was that this was also in response to the fans, [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming some of whom were suggesting that Ashley was an idiot to have been manipulated for two months.]]

* TheReveal that Diane has a very specific definition of "nerd" is awesome not only because her definition is "cares more about trivia than other people, is proud of this and looks down on others for not knowing what they know" but it also leads into a very thoughtful examination between "nerd" and "person who likes things associated with nerds but is not considered a nerd" as well as Tedd's realization that he may have some degree of ADHD (specifically hyperfocusing sounds very familiar). Then this discussion culminates on Ashley pointing out [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped that there's a difference between a label someone chooses for themselves and a label someone puts on other people]].

** Ellen really deserves some more recognition for how she played her cards in this situation. When Sirlek took control of her, she ''let'' him think that she'd been subdued, only offering some token resistance so Sirlek wouldn't be too suspicious. All the while she was biding her time, waiting until Sirlek made his move. Ellen, you are a very, ''very'' clever young woman.
