Yes, apparently Caroline was a big bad animal rights activist willing to break the law to save animals, but a stickler for her illegal, unenforcable contract with an evil organization.

That makes tons of sense!

The ending was ridiculous. First they felt the need to set up the Princess Saves Herself idea so strongly that all they were missing was an after-episode lesson from Sailor Moon. Then not only did Paul “save” Caroline, he TOOK HER BACK TO THE DOLLHOUSE. OFFSCREEN. wut?
