Principal Wright castigates Amelia for being bad, as shown by the previous day's spectacle of Amelia and Rhonda being chased up a tree by classmates. In a flashback, Amelia recalls that she and Rhonda wore spacesuits as part of a class project, following which Britney began tormenting Rhonda. Incensed that nobody comes to Rhonda's aid, and disgusted with Britney's assertion that she's only speaking the truth, Amelia loudly proclaimed unpleasant truths about her classmates. After the session in the principal's office she consults Kyle and an imaginary panel of monsters as to what is bad.
