"Perfect"

By kbrandt, Jul 29, 2007 Report Abuse

This is one of my personal favortie episodes. My favorite all time Jem song "Can't get my love together" is featured in this episode. What I like about it is, this really gives the viewer a look at the internal struggle Jerrica has to go through leading a double life. She very badly at least wants to tell her boyfriend Rio, but can't because she has hid it from him of so long he might over react. She can't let anyone from the outside know, because Synergy's powers could be used for evil purposes. The best part is at the end where she is giving a tv interview and detours the whole thing. Basically she says that she keeps her private life private and that the music she makes is the only thing that matters.moreless
