* {{Deconstruction}}: Of Sandy's overzealous competitiveness. At the beginning of the episode, she takes games way too seriously and doesn’t care who gets injured in the process. When she essentially gives the jellyfish steroids, after finding jellyfishing too boring, she realizes what her actions are wrong after seeing how she destroyed Jellyfish Fields and caused a great deal of pain to her friends. She goes home to think about what she’s done, becoming a gentle pacifist. The savage jellyfish that she created catch up with her at the worst possible time.
