Episode Goofs
When Danny says "Yeah You Are," the line was added in and is louder than anything she says in the scene. On top of that, watch the van that goes behind her. It's closer to her at the top of the street than it is at the bottom, not to mention the timing of its speed and the camera angle are off. A decent edit, but it's still catchable.

Title: Cupid & Psycho
Cupid And Psyche is a classic myth from the Greek era, most famously told in a tale by the Roman Lucius Apuleius as a part of The Golden Ass. It is the story of the most beautiful woman who ever existed, who angers Venus with her arrogance, and so Venus sets Cupid upon her in order to punish her. Her beauty is such that even Cupid winds up falling in love, and thence sets forth a long tale of challenges for both Cupid and Psyche to gain their freedom to love one another.
