Haha! Thanks for sharing that link. I no longer have a TV (and there are times I'm glad about that), so I didn't even know they had done this episode.

Not to rely on Wiki too much, but they sum it up quite well there: Mary Sue, sometimes shortened simply to Sue, is a pejorative term used to describe a fictional character who plays a major role in the plot and is particularly characterized by overly idealized and hackneyed mannerisms, lacking noteworthy flaws, and primarily functioning as wish-fulfillment fantasies for their authors.

Basically, Meyer is Bella. Or the other way around.
