AI explanation

'Went bananas' is an informal idiom meaning to become extremely upset, crazy, or lose composure — fitting the context of the assistant being overwhelmed by unfinished preparation. It does not mean being happy or excited, which are positive emotional states opposite to the stressed context described. The sentence's context (realizing she still had so much to prepare) signals frustration/panic, consistent only with 'went crazy.'
