When Janis' turn comes, Regina makes an insulting joke about her sexuality, at which the crowd laughs. She has each girl confess and apologize to the rest of the girls (followed by a trust-fall exercise). Norbury, who also appeared in the Burn Book (in which Cady labelled her as a "drug pusher") makes the girls realize that all of them are guilty of hurting their female peers. The riot is eventually quelled by Principal Duvall. To avoid suspicion, Regina also commits libel against herself by slandering her own name in the "Burn Book" ( in order to focus the blame on Cady, Gretchen, and Karen).

As a result of Cady's new-found fixation on materialism (and her own reflection) causes her to abandon her two best friends, Janis and Damian.
