Although there were some fun moments in this one, it struck me as one of the weaker episodes because of the idea that \\\"if you retaliate in any way against someone who\\\'s insulting and stealing from you, you\\\'re just as bad as the bully\\\". Granted, the CMC\\\'s choice of prank was dumb -- send Babs over a cliff? -- but it only even worked because Babs was willing to physically attack them. Seemed to me like a naive, sadly ineffective moral.
A more grown-up version of the story would have had the adults tell the CMC that their clubhouse isn\\\'t really theirs and never has been, and that they have to share everything with someone who\\\'s a total jerk to them. But that\\\'s coming from someone outside the target demographic, and hits close to home for topics beyond schoolyard bullying.
