This led to a series of jokes between Meriwether and the cast, as well as confirmation that there are no real plans for a reunion at this time.

Greenfield responded, “Right now is probably not the most appropriate time to apologize for it, but yes, it’s something that happened and I’m sorry. However, it has drawn too much attention to Chrysalis and what we’re doing here tonight.” “When the six of us get together again – six actors, of which apparently none of whom except Hannah have graduated from college, which makes a lot of sense; Jake says he graduated college, which no one believes – but when we get together, remarkably people pay attention and people show up, and we’re so grateful you came tonight.”

Then Liz had to intervene and say, ‘My lawyer wrote to me, you idiot.’ So that means Max is Max,” teasing, “There was no strategy. Then he texted me and said, ‘I think I did a really bad thing.’ And he did.”
