She kept it all those years and presented it to the adult, bald (that's why he always wears a kerchief or hat), decrepit Leif Garrett of the 2000s.
Garrett hugged her, and made some pass at her, but she was clearly NOT into him now.
Really pathetic.
She probably did not want the statue anymore, knowing how Leif has now aged. He was ready to jump back in time and pretend in was 1978 all over again, but her? Not so much.
