I would have been able to stomach the whole sympathetic backstory vs. sympathetic character conflict if they hadn't shown in her previous episode that she was capable of being a perfectly sympathetic character. How do you go from her near-friendship with Gwen to this? You can't do it. It's not even a matter of a friendly enemy--they hugged and held hands and squeed together! Friendly enemies do not do that!
