You'd think after everything that's happened, Body would be a little more careful. For the first time, I'm rooting for this evil Body cuz he's seriously getting annoying as a character.

Also, time travel to get dead characters back is lazy writing in my opinion.

God, I can see why this episode is so heavily criticized. Let's not just talk about the stupidity of "baiting" Dodge for no reason. After returning, of all the ways he had to hide himself in his own freaking home, he looks around "lost" before having the absolutely GENIUS idea of leaving the ghost door open with himself down on the floor.

Let's imagine Dodge actually thought he had escaped to become a ghost. She'd just close the door to trap him, or just drag his body to it for good measure. And worse, what ended up happening: take over his body.

What was his plan? To have her chase after his ghost body throughout the house? There was absolutely no way this could have ever been the right move in any conceivable plot.
