Episode Goofs
In the scene where Maxima confronts Tess in the mansion there seems to be a bit of a problem with one of the props.
Maxima launches (slides) Tess across the floor and into a pedestal holding a decorative vase. When Tess collides with the pedestal the vase falls from it and onto her before rolling off of her and onto the floor, where it crumbles.
The fact that the vase rolled off of Tess intact and then broke a few moments after being on the floor made the scene unintentionally hilarious.
