I like this eppie too, despite we see the pure evilness of Duchess. She's evil, pure evil.
Anyway, I too loved Bloo's mittens and ski cap. I remember cracking up when I first saw that, and then even more when Bloo does this little charade with his mittens.
I thought it was out of character when Mac fell for Terrence's story about moving to Singapore, though. It must have been a moment of gullible-ness.
I found it funny the little screw-up that was probably intentional for some reasons. Ok, so Mac and Bloo trash the Applebee's apartment during the night. The next morning they have their ears to the wall waiting for them to wake up and start yelling at Duchess. We all know how that went. Bloo comes up with the idea of taking her back to Foster's, and while Mac is still in his room (and his pajamas), Bloo runs next door, kidnaps Duchess and in coming back to Mac's room, they leave right away (Mac literally changes in half a second). They run and run, and Terrence chases them and gets to the house first. Terrence tells Frankie and Herriman what Mac and Bloo are trying to do and tells them "They'll be here by nighfall", and Frankie says "You mean, in three or four minutes?" And he says "Yeah." And in the next scene when Mac and Bloo arrive at the house, it's dark. Ok... They just woke up! What happened to the whole day?? I found that amusing, but it also kind of messes the episode up since that made no sense whatsoever. Even though I see where they were going with it. Yay for the LOTR and Helms Deep reference! I absolutely love those movies.
The most memorable line I think from this eppie has got to be "We tee-peed them, Bloo! Tee-peed!!"
And the end, when Mac thinks he's moving away and will never see Bloo again, and they hug, that's one of the biggest tear jerker scenes of the whole series. They're covered in mud, and you can actually hear the emotion in Mac's voice, he sounds like he's fighting off the tears. I almost want to cry whenever I see it.
Ah, but it's a good episode. It's fun seeing Mac and Bloo being "boys" when they're trashing the apartment. And it's also fun seeing Duchess being dropped in the mud time and time again.
