Seething with jealousy because she feels Olivia (Raven-Symone) has usurped her position as the "cute" Huxtable, Rudy (Keshia Knight Pulliam) has a nightmare wherein Olivia is an evil force who uses her cuteness to manipulate everyone around her. "I have grownups under my spell" smirks the "other" Olivia, and she proceeds to prove it by twisting Cliff (Bill Cosby), Clair (Phylicia Rashad) et. al around her little finger and getting anything she wants. The limit comes when Olivia's pony takes over Rudy's bed--and thank heaven that Rudy's parents prove to be as loyal and supportive in her imagination as they are in real life. Throughout this wildly fanciful episode, Vanessa (Tempestt Bledsoe), Pam (Erika Alexander) and Charmaine (Karen Malina White) function as a "nightmare chorus", a la Little Shop of Horrors.
