First I have to mention that Lady Godiva does not belong to my cultural folklore, so I'm probably missing a lot of the shock of actually seeing her appear in front of a gaggle of bored students. To me she's only a naked blonde riding a horse, which doesn't exactly strike me as a feminist emblem -rather the opposite, if you take my meaning. Fortunately, the script actually notices the paradox several times : as a woman, the less you wear, the more attention you get.So as a whole the episode works, and it is fun. Paige's attempts to save the school fail to really move me, since the students look like a bunch of brats and Paige herself is a very unlikely headmistress, but the rest it good. There is a particularly good twist when you realize that by solving their problems the sisters have actually created a real disaster. While no one could believe that Godiva was solely responsible for the emancipation of women, the alternate reality is well done, in a frightful way. The best little detail is Leo's new persona : just as nice and not the least sexist no matter what, but more balanced. I like that because it is unexpected, it doesn't contribute anything to the main plot, but somehow it seems coherent. And what about him overdosing Dyson with his pain and rage ? In one instant, you go from laughing at Leo's dismay to feeling for him.
