I really appreciate your writeup on Speed Demon! You took the time to point out a lot of little things about the episode's direction. I too love the zoom in on their house when they first travel through time, only to get the reveal later of where they are. (I also laughed at how they didn't even notice at first, lol.) "A total misery tour" is a great to describe the episode. The girls are driven to such despair and are essentially totally broken by the end. HIM has truly won, and the ultimate capper is that the girls are convinced that it's their fault.

The show liked to play with these darker tropes occasionally, but this was a full immersion in suffering. We don't see what HIM even did specifically, all we know is it was bad enough to destroy everything and break everyone the girls loved. The moment when he rises up and says "Beat you? Don't you see...I've already WON!" gives me chills every time. Definitely a highlight in the show's run.

Thanks for the great writeup!
