Cut to the reunion at the school. Apparently the mascot for Grover Cleveland High is the gator. What high school not located in Florida would use the gator as a mascot? Well, the two schools where I live have Aztecs and Trojans as mascots, and we're located in neither Central America nor Greece. Our quartet of morons arrives, and Tru signs in. Lindsay and Harrison head off somewhere where they can't interfere with the A-plot. After Tru turns around, she sees Candace tormenting some nerd named Billy. Candace gives him a hug and then fake-compliments his tie, telling him she didn't know guys were still wearing ties like that in this century, before giving him a wink and walking away. Luc asks who that awful bitch was, and Tru explains that she and Candace used to be friends. Tru is flagged down by Billy, and they reminisce. He claims he's developed some software that will revolutionize downloading and render MP3 players obsolete. That doesn't even make any sense. "Downloading" and "playing" are two different...oh, never fucking mind.
Inside, everybody dances around to "Praise You." Man, remember when we had that president who had sex with his intern? Those were good times. Tru walks through, waving to folks that she knows, consulting her little reunion guide because, you know, everybody's SO DIFFERENT now after five whole years. Luc joins her with drinks, and then Tru is assaulted by a hug from a rather exuberant classmate named Judy. Judy is clearly the class gossip. She fills in Tru on the fact that some guy is addicted to painkillers, and some other guy is gay, and some guy fired his own dad, and some woman had cosmetic surgery done. Tru eventually gets Judy to shut up long enough to allow her to introduce Luc. Judy declares that Tru has "traded up" with Luc, because all that matters is that he looks good. He can beat Tru in secret, but who cares? Judy blathers on out of completely nowhere that Candace thought she was all that because she was prom queen, but that Judy was captain of the swim team and Candace COULDN'T EVEN SWIM. Yes, how could they have even considered making Candace the prom queen when she couldn't swim? Exposition this awkward and freakishly random can only be a poorly written plot point. Tru manages to extricate herself and Luc from Judy, who reacts after they leave as though all the gossip caused her to have a minor orgasm.
