  6. Introduction Main plot in episode 1 Our protagonist (Tom) goes to a class reunion to see people that he hasn’t seen for twenty years. The protagonist thinks he recognizes some of the attendees but isn’t certain. Hence, the people at the reunion need to ascertain the identities of the others, start up conversations, and catch up with each other.

  7. Introduction During these conversations people will likely talk about what they’ve done since graduation: their jobs, their families, where they are living now, ongoing hobbies, a new place or a new job, a recent vacation etc. If a person is attending the reunion with their spouse, the person should introduce the spouse to a classmate. Participants can sustain the conversation with rejoinders. The conversion should end gracefully.
