Years later, as boys keep drifting away after a brief interest, she and her mother wonder why the past won’t let go—until Donna uncovers the truth behind the whispers.

As a teenager, Donna hangs out with wild Jackie "The Rebel" and starts to get a bad reputation in town. She eventually stops seeing Jackie, but her reputation follows her. Many boys seem to be interested at first, but drop her soon after. After years of this, Donna and her mother wonder what keeps the old reputation alive. Donna finds out when she catches her best friend Cynthia telling her latest boyfriend about her past. But Dave realizes Cynthia is sabotaging Donna out of jealousy and tells Donna what matters is that she stopped seeing Jackie.
