Fourth episode of season 4?
Zendaya, easily. I caught this one… oh, I don’t know, somewhere in the first 1 or 2 minutes.
This one was really easy, really obvious.
About halfway in they graciously confirmed my suspicions for me by obtusely namechecking Zendaya’s Disney flick Zapped.
Ok, well, that was easy.
What was really interesting about this episode was a scary-ish throwaway bit during the last thirty seconds.
It was during the credits. I heard the name “Olivia” and then I went “A-HA!” because I was sure, absolutely sure, I was going to see something about Olivia Holt. Or, at least, Dove Cameron (middle name – Olivia).
Nope. The girl I saw as “Olivia” was, scarily enough, Olivia fucking Rodrigo.
Yes, the Driver’s License chick. Vampirella. That chick that was on SNL a few days ago.
I was floored. Or, at least, as floored as I could be, since I was watching on my bed at the time. But, Goddamn.
I went back and checked two, three times. Yup, there is no doubt, no doubt about who they are referring to there with “Olivia”.
People, Olivia Rodrigo was three years old when this episode aired.
Seriously. This was a Valentine’s Day episode that aired Feb. 10, 2007. Rodrigo was born Feb. 20, 2003.
I do like how they worked her in there, though. During the Laura Marano episode they also worked in Camilla Belle edgewise.
Interesting stuff, this.
