Then Tru turns around to find that the Random Boyfriend Generator stopped by and spit out both Harrison and Luc. Lindsay comes by and hugs Harrison, now that her crush is taken and all. Harrison says he has some "business" to take care of, and wanders off. Luc apologizes to Tru for just showing up. She tells him it's been a crazy night. He asks if it's "crazy good" or "crazy bad." Tru says she doesn't know yet. I think I'd go with "crazy bad," even if she does save Candace, who hates her. I mean, it's not like Tru's actually having a good time besides the murder. Luc says he's going to go hang out at the bar, and says Tru should come find him when her A-plot's all taken care of.
After he leaves, Judy comes back over to Tru with a platter of red herring hors d'oeuvres. Have one -- they taste like pointlessness! Judy wants to give her own opinion about Candace. You mean other than the fact that she can't swim? Tru once again tries to get Judy to leave her alone, but Judy darkly mutters that Tru should've just let Candace drown. The Portentous Music wants us all to know that Judy's a bit crazy. Yes, we figured that out. Judy whines that Candace has all these things like good looks, money, and popularity. But Judy says that Candace "took" them from people like her. She insists that she could have been prom queen, were it not for Candace. So she deserves everything she gets. If Judy had superpowers, she'd be getting all Carrie at this point. Tru tries to get Judy to come outside with her to get some air, but Judy refuses and stalks off.
The plot is interrupted by Glenn once again taking the stage to announce the winner of the "Reunion Queen" title. This time the winner is Tru, because she saved Candace and all, even though everybody hates her. Three women force Tru bodily up to the stage. It's like Gwen Stefani being dragged to the gas chamber in that video for "It's My Life." Glenn sticks the tiara on Tru despite her protests and orders her to say a few words as everybody cheers. Why isn't there a reunion king? That's sexist! I hope somebody sues. Anyway, Tru notices as Candace starts to leave in a huff, and sees Judy following her. Tru insists that she has to go, takes off the tiara, and rushes out of the room after the two women.
Commercials. When we return, Tru is running down the school hallways. Eventually, she ends up at Mr. Connor's office, for some unknown reason. And he's there, claiming that he's grading papers. Tru wants to conscript Mr. Connor into her efforts to find Candace, because she thinks Judy might try to hurt her. Mr. Connor thinks that although old emotions may get stirred up at the reunion, he doesn't think Judy would go that far. Tru is insistent. Mr. Connor doesn't exactly believe Tru, but says he'll help her anyway. Tru asks him to search half the school for Candace while Tru searches the other half. He agrees. Mr. Connor kind of looks like I imagine Larry King might have looked like when he was thirty.
