Without a doubt the worst episode there has been.

First off, we've had the bullying theme before, and why apply it to Arthur of all characters? This was in the wake of the airing of "The Last Tough Customer" so did Hirsch really think there were no more bullies and now Arthur has to suffice? Couldn't they at least have made a one-off racist character that bullies Sue Ellen and at the same time teaches kids that racism is wrong? But even that sounds wromg and controversial.

Second - the understatement of the 2010s - Arthur acts completely out of character in this episode. I can kind of understand that he teases Sue Ellen, but making lame sheepdog puns (it doesn't even make her look like a sheepdog, more like Sue Ellen Goes 80s) going as far as humiliating her via email and taping that picture of her onto her locker? Even the Tough Customers knew their borders and wouldn't have gone that far.

As if this wasn't enough, we also get an online comic based off this episode of all episodes. In the end you get three options for endings, one of them being that Arthur continues teasing Sue Ellen. What Arthur fan in their right mind would choose such an ending? I saw that ending screen, and believe me, it's heartbreaking, sad and completely unrealistic. You don't wanna see it. Don't pick the other one either; I haven't seen it but I don't wanna know what it is. Arthur apologizing and making up with Sue Ellen is the only true ending to this disgrace to the series.

Final verdict: I love almost all episodes - even the newer flash ones despite many hating them - but this one is so bad I would rather watch a Pal/Kate episode, and that's really saying something.
