Controversy[]

The episode was met some controversy, making it the second episode to so, the first being Glow Disco. The scene where Josie stuck her fingernails in Stephanie's neck and then threatened to kill her was cut in some countries for being way too scary, even for Weird World and in the UK and US, is cut if the episode reruns before 9pm. The word "bitch", which is heard during Stephanie and Josie's fight, is censored out in some countries and in the UK and US, is only heard if the episode reruns after 9pm. The rest of the episode remains the same if on before 9pm.

Reception[]

Praise mainly went to the ending, which was called "tear inducing" and "relatable", when Josie told Stephanie about times in the Rockery Beach of Doom, with Stephanie revealing some of her own stuff too and the two making up and hugging each other.
