Character reaction and deconstruction.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: This episode serves as a huge lecture to Kelly to why her attitude in high school doesn't work in the real world.
** She thinks the high school valedictorian is still the failure loser she made him feel like in high school; he's now a wealthy man and she's pretty much what he expected her to be, due to not having matured since high school. [[TheyJustDontGetIt She's completely clueless to why this is the case.]]
** EasilyForgiven is completely averted as he still hates her for playing a [[PrankDate prank]] on him that caused his toe to get amputated, especially as she shows no remorse.
** It doesn't matter how pretty you are, most guys aren't going to want to date someone who treats people like crap.



* YourOtherLeft: As Kelly and her friends discuss the guys at the reunion, Ashley notices a winner (Eric) and tells them to check out 4 o'clock. Kelly and the other girls all look in different directions, with none of them being where Ashley is looking.

* BrickJoke: Early in the episode, Jefferson recounts for the time when he, as a FratBro, had a [[JustForPun blast]] with his college buddies launching Mr. Potato Head that turned it, in his words, "into hash browns".
