Response to comment on a stackoverflow question

@David Weldon: Thank you for your response. I reset the project, and this time instead of running that update from my browser, I ran it right within the fixtures.js (which is obviously run from the server on startup). I am happier with how things are going into mongo on this reset, but I still can't read my subdocument - it's as if I'm not updating them properly. I feel like they are not there at all.

Here is the relevant fixture.js content:

// The "elvesEpisodetwoId" is set above in the file, I didn't include it because we are not experiencing problems with that collection at all and I'm pretty sure my client would like me to keep some level of privacy as much as possible for the code.

// Add Filler Idea Posts for Elves of Our Lord
var elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaOneId = Ideas.insert({
  title: "Jump through the portal",
  body: "The elves from Eldernland should jump through the blue portal mentioned in episode one.",
  userId: nate._id,
  author: nate.profile.name,
  episodeId: elvesEpisodetwoId,
  timestamp: new Date(now - 5 * 3600 * 1000),
  score: [],
  overallScore: 0,
  votedOnBy: [],
  timesVotedOn: 0
});

var elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaTwoId = Ideas.insert({
  title: "Go back to find your brother",
  body: "Travel north again to find your brother at black mountain.",
  userId: jeremy._id,
  author: jeremy.profile.name,
  episodeId: elvesEpisodetwoId,
  timestamp: new Date(now - 5 * 3600 * 1000),
  score: [],
  overallScore: 0,
  votedOnBy: [],
  timesVotedOn: 0
});

var elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaThreeId = Ideas.insert({
  title: "Revive Randolf With Bloodmagic",
  body: "Bring Randolf back from the dead using witche's bloodmagic.",
  userId: iryna._id,
  author: iryna.profile.name,
  episodeId: elvesEpisodetwoId,
  timestamp: new Date(now - 5 * 3600 * 1000),
  score: [],
  overallScore: 0,
  votedOnBy: [],
  timesVotedOn: 0
});

// Add Filler Votes
var nateVoteOne = Votes.insert({
  episodeId: elvesEpisodetwoId,
  userId: nate._id,
  timestamp: new Date(now - 5 * 3600 * 1000),
  winner: elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaOneId,
  loser: elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaTwoId
});

Ideas.update(elvesEpisodeTwoIdeaOneId, {
  $addToSet: {
    score: { userId: nate._id, score: 1 },
    votedOnBy: nate._id
  },
  $inc: {
    overallScore: 1,
    timesVotedOn: 1
  }
});

Here is the output from the console when running $ meteor mongo:

Conclusion:

This to me feels like I'm not doing the "update" correctly (starting at line 58 of this gist). Because it feels like the document never makes it there. Any suggestions?
