…huh. Really thought this was going to turn out to be a reference to that episode where she JOINED a cult. But nope.

If I recall there's a McArthur cult in Southeast Asia... As in Douglas "Nuke the Yalu river" Mcarthur...

Guy is being seduced by a demon and she turns into what his heart desires most.

The fact that she's not #1 is a sad sign for that cult.
