Stanley reunites with his high school crush, Vicky Pratt, who is now working as a magician with the stage name of Davida Steelmine, who uses her powers for criminal activity.
Tropes:
- The Ace: According to Stanley, Vicky Pratt was the Class Valedictorian, Head Cheerleader and the Homecoming Queen when they were in high school. She is also a damn good magician.
- Affably Evil: Vicky is in love with Stanley and even after years of not seeing each other, she still has feelings for him. However, she does not like The Mask one bit because of him being too strong towards her.
- All Girls Want Bad Boys: Averted as Vicky likes Stanley even though she wants him to join her, but she cannot stand The Mask, who is clearly in love with her. It anything, it's inverted as The Mask still wants her, even after seeing that she is a very bad girl but he does fight her to stop her regardless.
- Almost Kiss: After confessing her criminal nature to Stalney, Davida tries to kiss him. Stanley almost does but snaps out of it and rejects her due to finally seeing that she is nothing more than a thief.
- Alpha Bitch: It's implied that Vicky was this in high school.
- Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!!: The Mask is more interested in hitting on Davida then catching bank robbers.
- Badass Normal: Vicky is not a Reality Warper like The Mask but she does manage to outwit him several times and does give him a good time of thinking new ways to take her down.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Vicky acts like a charming, professional magician to hide the fact that she is a cunning jewel thief.
- Chekhov's Gun: In the third act, Davida trapped The Mask in the classic straightjacket and chains escape trick, where he's found by Kellaway and Doyle. The Mask is unable to break out of the chains, but then Doyle, being the stage magic aficionado he is, reveals to him that there's always a weak link in the "chained up escape trick". This comes back at the end of the episode, after The Mask has captured Davida in the same straightjacket and chains, and exposes her as the true jewel thief to Kellaway.Davida: What makes you think this will hold me?
The Mask: (pulls a chain link out of her hat) Hmm, I guess because I removed the weak link. (winks at Doyle) - Cloudcuckoolander: The Mask, as usual.
- Corrupted Character Copy: Davida's an alluring illusionist/sorceress clad in a top hat and fishnets, just like the superhero Zatanna. Unlike Zee, she's a greedy, slippery thief.
- Dark Action Girl: Davida Steelmine.
- Dating Catwoman: Zig-Zigged as Vicky loves Stanley and wants him to join her but he refuses because she is a criminal. Despite his feelings for her, he still tries to stop her but The Mask clearly wants her to love him just she does with Stanley. He ends up being rejected because Vicky/Davida prefers Stanley because due to him being sweet and cute while The Mask, though sweet, tends to come on too strong towards her.
- Dude Magnet: Vicky Pratt/Davida Steelmine has Stanley, Charlie and The Mask vying for her attention.
- Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Vicky/Davida doesn't seem to understand why Stanley rejects her after she confesses to being a criminal and it's implied that she sincerely thought he would have changed his mind and be with her.
- Femme Fatale: Vicky Pratt A.K.A. Davida Steelmine.
- Give Geeks a Chance: Vicky was the prettiest and most popular girl in high school, and Stanley had the biggest crush on her. After they reunite, she admits to him that she had a huge crush on him right back, and judging from the backstage pass she sent him and how she acts around him, she hasn't stopped crushing on him.
- Hidden Depths: While Vicky/Davida was The Ace in highschool and is now a thief, she does sincerely have feelings for Stanley and genuinely wanted to be with him.
- Impossibly Awesome Magic Trick: Davida can create very convincing illusions (including illusion doubles of herself), was able to teleport The Mask from the Coco Bongo to the city harbor twice, can shoot fireballs from her hat, and can even jump into her hat to make a quick escape.
- Likes Clark Kent, Hates Superman: Vicky is in love with Stanley Ipkiss but she cannot stand The Mask because he comes on too strong towards her.The Mask: Does this mean you really do like Stanley more than me?
Davida: You figured it out. You're a genius.
The Mask: I know. - Meaningful Echo: When Stanley is first discussing Vicky with Charlie at the beginning of the episode, he admits that he had the biggest crush on her in high school, but “could never work up the nerve to speak to her”. Then later, when Stanley bumps into Vicky at the museum, he learns that his crush on her was mutual when she says, “Would you believe that I could never work up the nerve to speak to you back in high school?”
- Ms. Fanservice: Vicky Pratt/Davida Steelmine.
- Nerds Are Sexy: Vicky has a big crush on the shy and nebbish Stanley Ipkiss.
- In addition, Vicky was both the class valedictorian, as well as the most popular girl at school.
- Not Good with Rejection: Downplayed as Davida merely expresses annoyance when Stanley rejects her but she merely says "I'm sorry to hear that". She doesn't attack him or even insult him, she merely tells him to meet her at the train station "if he [Stanley] changes his mind". It's implied that she sincerely thought he would change his mind and be with her.
- Oh, Crap!: The Mask decides to waste time going to the Coco Bongo because he wants to see Vicky's magic show, so he decide not to stop the robbers and go there. After he gets himself back on track, he goes to stop them but they already left. Even he knows that Stanley won't be happy with him in the morning for not stopping the robbers, which even for him that is a massive screw up for The Mask.The Mask: Oh, Stanley is going to hate me in the morning.
- Pet the Dog: Due to all the grief and bad luck with women that Stanley deals with, it's nice to see that his old crush liked him back.
- However, it makes it even more tragic when she is revealed to be a criminal.
- Saw a Woman in Half: This happens to The Mask when Davida does it to him and naturally he hams it up as usual to mess around with her.
- Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Vicky/Davida is in love with Nice Guy Stanley Ipkiss.
- Skewed Priorities: The Mask is more interested in seeing Davida's magic show(and hitting on her) than saving the bank from being robbed.
- Stage Magician: Davida Steelmine is a rare female example.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Vicky confesses to Stanley that she is a thief and asks him to join her. Stanley naturally refuses since despite having feelings for Vicky, he is too good hearted to get turn a blind eye to her crimes.
- The Mask despite clearly in love with her does fight her to stop her because naturally like Stanley he is a good-hearted man who will never steal anything from innocent people and it is part of the code of being a superhero such as never steal anything ever again so since she is a criminal, The Mask has no choice but to do his job as a superhero no matter how he feels about her.
- The Vamp: Davida is this.
- Villainesses Want Heroes: Davida Steelmine genuinely seems to have feelings for Nice Guy Stanley. She even asked him to join her but despite his feelings for her, Stanley turns her down due to her being a criminal.
- Inverted The Mask is in love with Davida Steelmine but she only has feelings for Stanley and not him because of his too strong nature towards her even though he is a kind, good-hearted, nice man.
- Weakness Turns Her On: Possibly one of the reasons Vicky/Davida is attracted to Stanley, who is a lot more spineless than she is.
