The odder aspect of putting in the scene from season 1 would be the fact that Lelouch wasn't even there in that scene.
That's kinda besides the point though: the fact that the animators purposely decided to portray Shirley as a fork-wielding tomato waver three separate times is what's bizarre. I still can't quite decide whether this is some sort of hidden message/inside joke or actual characterization: characterization wise, I guess we could assume that Shirley routinely had a lunch with baby tomatoes every day, and she developed a subconcious pathological habit of eating them by stabbing them one by one. Then we might extrapolate that, often engaged in conversation with friends during lunchtime, and also liking the feel of the heft of a fork with a tomato stuck on the end of it, she took to emphasizing her statements with a forward striking gesture. So overall, we could probably conclude that Shirley is actually a youthful, imaginative girl at heart, who enjoys indulging in the quiet fantasy of being empowered by wand-like objects, and that she's also actually a type of person who doesn't mind or might even enjoy having the same lunch everyday for what must have been years. o_O
Um...yeah.
That aside; lol, the idea of Shirley routinely threatening Lelouch, wildly gesticulating fork in hand, is hilarious. He'd be too distracted to even hear what she's saying.
