257) Too Many Erins 9

There's not going to be a Too Many Erins 10. This is the last. I'm pulling something commonly seen in cartoons where something happens at the end that you assume it's starting all over, but they really just end the episode and leave it hanging. Usually in those cases, it can't be solved, except by using a Dues Ex Machina or just a show reset. Like in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Billy was frozen in time and thawed out in the future at the end of one episode and you're sitting there thinking "How can he possibly get out of this" and the answer is "he can't. Let's go to the next episode." So yes, I'm trying to pull that here. Or like in Invader Zim where Zim and Dib turn into baloney and there is no resolution. They're just baloney, but by the next episode, they're back to normal.

Anyway, if you'd like to ask Professor Rachel a question, e-mail her at askprofessorrachel@gmail.com.
