==Plot==
<!--per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words-->
The group spends the next day at the lake with Michelle and her old Band Camp friend Selena, whom Finch bonds with over his travels. Kevin and Oz reunite with their high school girlfriends Vicky and Heather, and meet Heather's boyfriend Ron. AJ, a young thug, steals bikini tops from Mia and other women before fleeing on a jetski. Seeking revenge, the boys trace AJ and his friends to a beach where Jim overhears his plans to take the virginity of Kara—Jim's neighbor whom he used to babysit—now she has turned 18. Stifler destroys their jetskis before fleeing.
Instead of spending time with Michelle, Jim accompanies the others to the Falls to reminisce about high school, where they come across teens partying for Kara's birthday. Unsatisfied with Heather, Ron suggests swapping girlfriends for sex to a disgusted Oz. Kara drunkenly tries to seduce Jim, but he reluctantly rejects her. She passes out and Jim recruits Stifler, Finch, and Oz to distract her parents while he sneaks her into their house, worried Michelle will think he cheated on her. Jim returns home and falls asleep without having sex with Michelle, leaving her despondent about their failing marriage. The following morning, Kevin wakes up in bed with Vicky and assumes they had drunken sex. She confirms they did not but is upset he thinks so lowly of her.
Jim encourages his widower dad, Noah, to begin dating, and takes him to Stifler's house party where he meets Stifler's mother Jeanine. After Oz is deliberately embarrassed by Ron, he admits he misses Heather and kisses her. Mia finds out and breaks up with Oz, confessing to her own affair. Jim waits upstairs for Michelle so they can have sex, but Kara again tries to seduce him before AJ intervenes, and a fight ensues. Jim explains the situation to Michelle and states he does not care about Kara, causing both women to leave upset. The police arrive and arrest Finch for stealing a motorbike. Stifler mocks Finch's predicament, and the boys confront him over being a bad friend and his inability to move on from high school. Stifler reminds them that they have ignored and avoided him for years.
The next day, Noah offers Jim advice on repairing his marriage. At the reunion, Finch admits that he lied about his travels because he was embarrassed to admit that he had a normal job as a retail manager, and stole the bike from his neglectful boss. Feeling guilty about their treatment of Stifler, the boys visit him at work and apologize, recognizing his unhappiness with his life and admitting that none of their lives are perfect, but that Stifler is their friend. Stifler confronts his verbally abusive boss and quits.
The group returns to the reunion together. Kevin reconciles with Vicky and introduces her to his wife, Finch makes amends for lying to Selena, and Oz and Heather choose to be together. Stifler is offered work as a wedding planner, and also meets and has sex with Finch's mother Rachel. Jim makes up with Michelle and they have sex in the school's music room.
The boys meet up the following day: Oz reveals he is staying in town with Heather; Finch intends to tour Europe with Selena; and Jim apologizes to Kara, who plans to save her virginity for a good man like him. Kevin proposes a pact for the group to meet up every year from now on.
