She's proven wrong about Santa Claus being real, is terrified and forced to do a humiliating song and dance to stop Santa from killing her, ends up giving Mrs. Claus the idea to use Christmas to turn everyone into vampires, has to watch as ''Billy'' is the one who saves the day, and ends up getting coal.

All in all, the episode's a total 180 from how she's usually in control and unflappable.
* IgnoredExpert: Mandy scoffs at Grim's assertion that Santa's real, even when he states they went to college together. She is thus very shocked when Mrs. Claus not only knows Grim, he refers to her by her first name like they're old friends.
* RealAfterAll: Mandy is legitimately astonished when she's shown that Santa Claus does in fact exist like Grim said, leaving her looking foolish as Billy gets to gloat about being right for once.
