* CriticalDissonance: For a long time, this episode was touted as the worst episode in the series, to the point many fans invoke FanonDiscontinuity and being a major contributing factor in Jamie being a divisive character. In the years since it first aired however, while not a ''liked'' episode, its more seen as SoOkayItsAverage, with the claims it was teaching a horrible aesop about being quiet and sticking through an abusive relationship being refuted as called out ''InUniverse'' as not working, and really Darwin being too stubborn to do anything compared to Gumball's more justified horror at Jamie's behavior, the episode even siding with Gumball by his behavior being what causes Jamie to realize her behavior, with Darwin meanwhile getting beat up by Jamie for his idea coming across as CondescendingCompassion. Nowadays, rather than reviled, its more seen as a [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot wasted opportunity by not involving Nicole or Penny in the episode]], or an overhated mediocre episode.

* FanonDiscontinuity: By fans, this episode is widely regarded as the worst episode of the whole series (though some argue that "The Rival", "The Candidate", "The Cycle," "The Stars", "The Triangle", "The Hero", and even the final episode "The Inquisition" are just as bad, if not worse) due to its questionable Aesop that you have to submit to an abusive relationship no matter what as well as [[KarmaHoudini Jamie not getting any sort of punishment for terrorizing the students]]. As such, fans prefer to think that this episode never existed.
