* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The episode sets itself up as a typical sitcom-style “lie to help a friend” plot with the gang pretending to be Myc’s “cluster” at his high school reunion. However, Myc’s obnoxious attitude ends that plan before the halfway point when Reagan angrily reveals the truth and accidentally shoves him into the hive mind. The rest of the A-plot then becomes dealing with the hive mind’s plot to take over the earth with Myc’s knowledge of humans to aid them.
