2* As seen in AlternativeCharacterInterpretation. Most of the villains on the show are people who have spectacularly overreacted to some slight or setback in their life and decide to take it out on everyone else. With their natural abilities, personal wealth, and petty behaviour, the Spies themselves wouldn’t be out of place in their own RoguesGallery. Working for W.O.O.H.P. helps prevent them from JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope.
3** That said, the SeriesFauxnale suggests that Evil is a genetic trait in this world.
4* Supporting the above, most every episode opens with the girls being faced with some high school drama they take very seriously, and what always happens ''immediately'' after? They get sucked away to Jerry’s office.
5* It sounds strange that Geraldine Husk [[StalkerWithoutACrush became obsessed with Clover]], especially since it was Sam who exposed her organization as a hoax. But it makes sense when you keep Clover's character in mind -- she's crazy for boys, she's a shopaholic, and she's the least focused of the spies.
6* Remember when Sam had to go undercover as Miss Spirit Fingers? There's a reason she wouldn't tell Alex or Clover about her mission; they, especially Alex, could not keep a secret. It's CharacterDevelopment if I ever saw it.
7* Another example? In "Evil Valentine's Day", Sam gets suspicious when Jerry suddenly falls for former W.O.O.H.P. agent (and future baddy) Myrna Beesbottom. After two episodes of falling in love with two villains ("Evil Boyfriend" and "Matchmaker" come to mind), she's clearly learned her lesson in that department.
8* At the end of "Astro-Not", Alex claims that she's been reading the wrong horoscope for herself the entire episode, before realizing she's actually a Pisces. Fittingly, back in "Aliens" Alex claims she's a Virgo. So that could mean Alex could have possibly been reading the Virgo horoscopes during the episode when in reality she was a Pisces.
9* The specific reason Jerry chose a cruise as the girls' test in "Deja Cruise". He mentions that the whole cruise would be a two week long affair. This was probably intentional, as it gives the girls a whole two weeks to figure out what was going on and pass the test. Not to mention, they could easily reset the cruise ship for the next day and the next test attempt and even have the girls wake up at the same time in the day.
10* Related to the above, the reason Alex's hair keeps going back to normal each day after the reset. Each day, the ship supposedly "sinks". We don't know exactly what happens, but if they do end up getting wet when the ship goes down, it would make sense why. Most perms or other hair curlings/alterations typically have the stipulation that they can't get wet for a certain amount of time, otherwise the bonds that shape the hair break and go back to normal. This usually a discouragement against taking a bath/shower or going swimming just after getting a perm. Very likely getting soaked in ocean water would absolutely revert one's hair in this case.
11* So why isn't Alex sick when she ends up becoming a cat? Transformations of course have to alter you at the cellular level - meaning her immune system was changed to match.
12** She also could have just goten allergy pills/shots or tech was used to treat her allergies.

14!!Fridge Horror
15* Just consider the countless schemes the villains in this show have: mutilation, destruction of property, terrorism, and murder. The spies may have fallen victim to them (albeit temporarily), but suppose they were brainwashed or mutilated permanently.
16* To make matters worse, imagine if one of them died. The remaining spies would have to create a cover story to explain such a loss.
17* The SeriesFauxnale states Evil is a genetic trait in this world. This brings up a few horrific implications:
18** Genes are not something you can control - so legally, how responsible are you for your actions if you have the "Evil" gene?
19** If governments found this out? Time for Eugenics again. Imagine if you had the "Evil" genetic trait(s). You can't have children because if you do they will have the "evil" trait like you. You wouldn't be able to adopt, because you're "Evil". Certain jobs would be completely closed off to you simply because who would want to hire a person who is genetically "Evil"? If you are born, you basically will have been conditioned since birth knowing you're "Evil" and rotten to the core. [[CreateYourOwnVillain And the cycle continues]]. Several villains in the show felt wronged by society and did what they did as revenge. So who's to say this ''isn't'' happening?
