Wicked Science: Ring of Confidence. Toby creates a confidence-boosting ring intended for Nikki, only for Russ to try it, lose it - and end up on Verity's finger. This is a fun episode, if slightly all over the place in tone, being largely a comedy episode only to take a slightly darker turn toward the end. More confident Russ just becomes... even more of a prat, though confident Verity is pretty cool, and still pretty nice. She makes a severe error of judgment in giving Elizabeth a savage assessment of her character flaws, however, telling Elizabeth (who of course sees herself as ice-cold and super-rational) that she's completely ruled by her emotions without even realising it, and never thinks through the consequences of her actions. Elizabeth immediately feels the need to retaliate, thus entirely proving her point!
