When Peter and the guys become desperate to try something after The Drunken Clam is closed following the death of Horace in "Save the Clam", they try the "big end-of-the-year high school party that could change everything." Peter strikes up a conversation with Amanda who notes that he is going out with JoAnne Fuller. He brushes it aside, noting that they are long-term friends and neighbors. When "Jo-Jo" shows up for Peter following an extensive makeover that leaves Peter stunned, Peter dumps Amanda under the law of '80s movies in which a transformed tomboy supersedes her long-standing hotness and pushes her aside for JoAnne.
