In I Didn't Do It season 1 episode 4, titled "Dear High School Self," viewers are taken on a trip down memory lane as the five best friends, Lindy, Delia, Jasmine, Logan, and Garrett, reflect on their high school experiences. The episode begins with the five friends receiving their high school yearbooks in the mail, prompting them to reminisce about their past.
As they flip through the pages of their yearbooks, they start to read their old messages to their future selves. While some of the messages are humorous, others are heartfelt and serious. Delia, for example, is reminded of her passion for cooking after reading a message in which she hoped to one day become a chef. This prompts her to start cooking again and contemplating culinary school after college.
Lindy reads a message in which she promised herself to always be true to who she is and not let peer pressure get to her. This leads her to question whether she's been staying true to herself in college. She confides in her friends about her feelings and they all reassure her that she's still the same Lindy they've always known.
Jasmine is reminded of her high school crush after reading a message from him. She finds him on social media and realizes that he's become an environmental activist. Jasmine, who is studying environmental science, sees this as a sign and decides to reach out to him to rekindle their friendship.
Logan reads a message in which he promised himself to take risks in life. This sparks a desire to do some adrenaline-fueled activities, such as skydiving and bungee jumping, which the group decides to do together.
Garrett, on the other hand, is hesitant to read his message at first and tries to avoid it. It's eventually revealed that he wrote a message to himself about his struggles with dyslexia and how he felt inadequate compared to his peers. This opens up a discussion about learning differences and how they don't define a person's worth.
Throughout the episode, flashbacks are shown to the group's high school experiences, including their first day of school, homecoming, and prom. These moments are important for the characters as they reminisce about their childhood and how far they've come in reaching their goals, while also acknowledging their current uncertainties about their future.
Overall, "Dear High School Self" is a touching and relatable episode that encourages viewers to reflect on their own past and future aspirations. With the help of their friends, the five characters are reminded of their strengths and passions, while also facing their fears and uncertainties.
