That..is one weird title. XD
But weird title or not, this is one of my favorite episodes. I felt this was a big turning point for Terry. Before, she was just a news reporter who sometimes got caught up in the weird stuff going on. But in here, she put all these pieces together and realized there was a world of chalk. This episode shows just how determined she can be as she keeps tailing Rudy and Penny (and of course, Snap VS Boorat shows just how far she took this stalking), and that she isn't above less than nice things, like kidnapping Snap.
True, the change was quite sudden as Terry didn't show any signs earlier of knowing about ChalkZone. But still, I enjoyed the episode and I liked that it managed to transform a seemingly harmless newsreporter into a real threat for ChalkZone (further cemented by Snap VS Boorat).
One thing I also like about the episode is that it gives us a hint as to how zoners would be treated by humans who either didn't understand them or didn't care. Terry knew Snap was a zoner (even if she didn't know the term), and what does she do when she catches him? Folds him up painfully (it wasn't a comfortable experience for Snap) and stuffs him into her bag. If Terry, who only really wanted to put Snap on a show to prove ChalkZone was real, would do something like that, just imagine what a human who would intend real harm would do.
It is rather disappointing that only this episode and Snap VS Boorat showcases an antagonistic Terry, as I felt she could have been a great villain and foil to Rudy. A sort of "evil counterpart".

I agree with you. I would've loved to see more of Terry as an antagonist, but stupid Nickelodeon canceled the show before we could see more. One of my favorite episodes.
And how did they get away with that title? (Oh wait...Nicktoon. There was a Rocko's Modern Life episode called "Who Gives A Buck?", for starters)

Yeah a shame the show was cancelled. There were so many possibilities still left they could have explored.
When I first saw the title, my reaction was "...so is Snap going to run around in his birthday suit in front of all these people? Is he going to think that it's not a big deal since he's not a real worlder so thinks it doesn't matter?" Even after watching the episode, the title doesn't seem to be the best choice. I'm sure there are a number of other titles that could have worked better.
And due to what is happening in the episode (Snap getting kidnapped and ChalkZone nearly being exposed), perhaps the title card should have been something more dramatic.
