Much like Season One's Girl Meets Flaws this episode centers on a member of our friend group being bullied. Unlike Flaws this episode centered on cyber bullying and we never actually saw or heard the bully but the most powerful moments were when Riley breaks down while admitting to Maya what's been happening and than her final confrontation with the bully where she shows the world her full weirdness and embraces what she is. Like with Flaws I love how all of Riley's friends swoop in to try and help her like Riley,Maya,and Lucas swooped in to help Farkle. I also loved that because of what happened to him in Flaws Farkle is able to figure out what is happening to Riley so he can tell the others and they can help to repair the damage. For this episode I liked Zay being there as added support and this episode marks the first of many times Zay expresses his surprise and discomfort with how everyone just randomly crawls in Riley's window, even if with this moment we see his manners are a little hit or miss as he is aghast at the idea of people randomly crawling in Riley's window yet he seems to have no problem with helping himself to the Matthews food. His commentary at this is hilarious.
Zay: "So you all just crawl in her window and that's okay? I don't like it, impolite. Oh and I took some cereal, You're out of milk. Now." I love this because it's a great way of showing how fun and quirky Zay is even while doing everything he can to be there for his friend. I loved his smile during Riley's confrontation with the bully because you could tell he was genuinely proud of her.
