"Frenemy Mine" is the fifteenth episode in the seventh season of The Fairly OddParents.
Plot
After Timmy saves Vicky's life after her attempt to torment him backfires, her fellow evil babysitters shun her. After Timmy suggests to her that she try being friendly, Vicky begins to smother Timmy with friendliness, and he must find a way to change her back to her mean self, since she will not let anyone else near him.
Why It Was Your Frenemy
- It was Kevin Sullivan's cruel and creepy version's of Season 4, "Vicky Loses Her Icky".
- The way how Kevin wrote Vicky is written and portrayed in this episode makes her role seem like it was originally written for her little sister, Tootie, but then switched to Vicky at the last minute, similar to Tootie's role in "Lights Out" (which was also written by Kevin Sullivan). As an example, she aggressively stalks and harasses Timmy throughout the episode, even to the point of not letting anyone else near him, such as Chester and A.J., gives him a full makeover (a shirt, pants, and haircut that is all identical to Vicky's) and begins to harass him non-stop.
- Plot holes:
- This episode shows that Vicky has a heart, but in Season 1's "Tiny Timmy!", it was revealed that her heart is just a black hole, which Timmy even noted.
- How did Cosmo get his ears pierced with Timmy and Vicky? He would have been spotted, and Timmy would lose his fairies forever.
- Lots of people could have noticed Vicky torturing Timmy in the beginning, meaning Vicky could've gotten fired.
- Also at the beginning, when the tar trucks pass, you notice that no one is driving the trucks. Also, the front-loader doesn't have a driver.
- Vicky is still a huge fan of Chip Skylark, despite Chip Skylark expressing his hatred of her in his song, "Icky Vicky", and the fact that she no longer liked him after finding out he is not rich.
- The jokes get old real fast, such as:
- Vicky saying "forever and ever" many times to Timmy.
- Vicky making weird acronyms for Timmy and words coming out of nowhere.
- Mini Bagel Pizzas being mentioned.
- Timmy's parents are irrelevant in this episode.
- The generic premise of Vicky torturing Timmy while he bends around her is just like most episodes that have Vicky in them.
- The enhanced and overused cliché "Status Quo Is God" trope, as the episode starts and ends as you predict it would.
Redeeming Qualities
- Timmy and his fairies are still tolerable for the most part.
- The plot twist of Vicky not having any friends aside from the B.R.A.T.S. group, her only friends, is kinda interesting and would have been a better idea to explore instead of the actual main plot.
