In the episode, Meghan and her mother Doria Ragland paid a visit to the Hollywood Schoolhouse where they met with Miss Debbie, Meghan’s former teacher. Meghan said to the camera while standing outside the school, “When we went back to Hollywood Schoolhouse, I was there from ages two to 12. It was so nice to be back.” After this, Debbie pulled out an old book that Meghan had signed before she left for middle school.

She greeted Debby with a hearty hug and read from the note, "I can't thank you enough. Even though I was at this school for ten years I wish I could have stayed for ten more. PS when I am rich and famous and I write my life story, I will talk about you and the school so you will be known worldwide."
According to Express UK, After reading the note and laughing, Meghan claimed that she was smart and not "the pretty one" at school.
