In the first part of this special 2 part Movie length episode, we get to see inside the character's heads on what event in the past has helped form the person they are today. Alex and her rollerskating, Will and the teacher, Gabrielle and first meeting Jason, Simon almost getting married, Kelly and her mice, Evan and his short story, Miranda and her parents divorce and Alex with her first patient. All the stories coagulate into a dinner party where Simon tells Richie that he is not to blame for Richie's problems.
