[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Victor Baxter leaves Raven and Cory with Ms. Patterson, an old, vengeful baby-sitter who babysat them in the past but stopped after being blamed for eating a cake for their mother. Ms. Patterson acts in a very strange manner and is very protective of her bag. When the baby-sitter takes a shower, Raven, along with Cory, Eddie and Chelsea, steals the bag to find that the baby-sitter had been incarcerated in the past and dubbed the "revenge-seeking baby-sitter". Noticing that the baby-sitter has finished showering, everybody, except for Chelsea, who is "captured", flees. Chelsea is taken to a room elsewhere where Victor reveals to Chelsea that the whole thing is a trick to make Raven and Cory feel bad for blaming the baby-sitter and is being filmed for a show. Eddie is also captured and revealed this.

After this point, the episode continues as a stereotypical horror film, complete with lightning and seemingly ubiquitous appearances of the baby-sitter. Finally, the Ms. Patterson presents Raven and Cory a cake and forces them to eat it and apologize. At this point, she reveals that the entire thing was a trick to get her revenge for what happened to her in the past. Raven and Cory promise that they won't blame her for something they did ever again.

[edit] Goofs

  • Nitpick: When Ms. Patterson confronts Raven about looking in her bag, she gives her a very harsh talk, then asks if she wants sprinkles. But, when Raven is relaying the story to Eddie and Chelsea, she said, "One minute she was like, 'Who wants sprinkles?', and then the next, she was like, 'Don't touch the bag!' These should be reversed.

[edit] Raven's Visions

  • Raven has a vision that her dad is "crying" saying... "I can't believe she got them."

  • Aired on October 18th in Canada on the Family Channel.

[edit] Episode Trivia

  • The "Punk'd"-like plot of this episode, Raven's reference to the show "Revenge of the Babysitter" being like a "Punk'd situation," and the orange top she wears in the episode are all reminders of Raven's actual appearance on "Punk'd" earlier in 2005 in which she appeared in a similar outfit.
  • Running Gag: Anyone who mentions the cake in front of Chelsea, she thinks she's getting a cake.
  • Mary Gross played Ms. Quick on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
  • Ms. Wilson was also mentioned in the That's So Raven season two episode "The Dating Shame"
  • When the police officer comes, Mrs. Patterson says her last name is Livingston. In the spin-off to That's So Raven, Cory in the House, one of Cory's best friend's names is Newt Livingston. Newt Livingston may be a reference to this episode.
