Plot
The movie starts by recapping what has happened to all of the girls since the last movie.
Bridget has gone back to soccer camp as a coach;
Lena and Kostas were together until Lena decided to end it;
Tibby and Brian McBrian grew closer together and continued to remember Bailey. Tibby and Brian start dating.
Carmen's mother has remarried a man named David. The recap continues with the girls graduating from high school and going to college-Bridget is on the soccer team at Brown University, Lena is on scholarship at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Tibby is a film major at NYU, and Carmen is attending Yale University. We also find out that Lena's grandfather has died because we see her family in Greece attending his funeral. Kostas is there to pay his respects and to tell Lena that he has gotten married. Lena is crushed and Kostas appears miserable that he is married to someone other than Lena and that he has presumably broken her heart.
