Plot
Gordo and Miranda visit Lizzie after she was out sick and bring her some scary news--in social studies class she has to pair up on a project with---KATE!! Lizzie reacts hysterically. She tries to get out of going to class the next day but her parents make her go. Kate is mad about working with Lizzie also, but she comes by the McGuire house to work on their project, cooking a Latvian dish called an Steve Tort (a raspberry pastry). At first the two are hostile to each other, but eventually they have a laugh or two and begin to recall the days when they were friends. Jo McGuire sees them enjoying themselves and tells the girls it seems like old times. Suddenly the girls stop being so friendly, then Kate excuses herself and leaves.
At school Miranda and Gordo ask Lizzie how it went with Kate, expecting the worst. Lizzie says it wasn't so bad. In fact, the two are going to the Digital Bean to do work on a high-speed computer. When they get there, Kate and Lizzie are working fine, but Gordo and Miranda are there arguing with Kate's entourage, led by Claire. Back at home the girls have an accident with eggs and flour and laugh about it and the good times they used to share together. They wonder what happened to make them drift apart. Lizzie remembers that Kate came back from camp one summer and things were never the same. At school the next day the girls give an excellent oral presentation together and serve their food. After it's over, though, Miranda and Gordo get into a fight with Kate's posse again. They all expect Lizzie and Kate to join in. The two girls are quiet for a moment, but then they start taking verbal shots at each other. Things appear to have gone back to normal, but Kate and Lizzie share a glance and a smile that lets us know that there is still a bond between them.
Meanwhile, a dream Matt had about a cancelled math test and a substitute teacher in red shoes comes true, so he immediately assumes he's a psychic. With the assistance of Oscar, he starts predicting the futures of other students, and surprisingly, things come true in one way or another. Matt's dad Sam is beginning to believe his son may actually be able to predict the future, but Jo will have none of it and seeks out ways to disprove Matt's psychic ability.
