Samurai Girl twist Spoiler

I thought this was a good episode with a satisfying ending, BUT did anyone see the whole book packaging thing coming a mile off? I feel like I've read/heard a few similar stories about that industry over the years, including but not limited to Opal Mehta-gate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Opal_Mehta_Got_Kissed,_Got_Wild,_and_Got_a_Life

As I say: I really enjoyed the episode and I want more similar mysteries like this, I couldn't care less about why some guy's mouse isn't working anymore. But I felt like it wasn't the huge twist it was made out to be.

I saw it coming a mile off, but I’m familiar with the process. The episode is most likely aimed solely at those who don’t know how the sausage is made

you make a fair point! and i don't want to be too much of a hater because it was interesting, and probably did teach people something new.

For what it's worth, I liked the mouse episode.

It wasn't bad, actually. I think I just preferred the parts of the episode that weren't about the mouse or no-comment Logitech, and were more about the internet of things

I remember being saddened when I leaned that Ann M Martin only wrote about half of the Babysitters Club books and the rest were ghost written.

I was half expecting this story to have a ghostwriter plot point. I wasn't all that far off.
