Added DiffLines:

* WoundedGazelleGambit: Downplayed, as Anais had already convinced ''herself'' that Gumball was the main one responsible for the loss of her doll and not Darwin, but Darwin very easily latches onto her assumption that Gumball must have forced him to dispose of the doll against his will and uses his knowledge of where Gumball is to deter her. It works.
