Biography[]
In a very beginning of the episode, Telly is seen creating a social network called "Mandybook" to make Mandy into popular by adding in their cellphones to people who can see it. When Clover, Samantha, and Alex found out his room it appears that he was crazy to kill Mandy from his computer because of his revenge against her and most of the robots are been in his control throughout his room.
Later on, he begins to engage his revenge by activating his Mandybook as most of the college students in Malibu University became his own army to kill Mandy. When Mandy arrives, thinking everyone will like her popularity and many followers in the Mandybook as she mentioned, she realizes they're going to kill her as she escapes in fright. The girls manage to save Mandy.
Finally confronting the girls (including Mandy), Telly explains his true motives to them, as well as his vendetta with Mandy for her refusing to accept an Internet friend request from him back in their high school days. Mandy tells him that she would accept his Internet friend request, but he replies that it was too late.
Telly orders his army to dispatch them. Sam tries to convince Clover to escape, but, much to their dismay, Clover has been brainwashed like the rest, and she attacks them. While they're escaping, Mandy finds Trent, and sees that he too was also brainwashed like Clover and the others. Sam hijacks the car, which she drives with Alex and Mandy. When they arrived at Telly's house, the berserk vacuum robot attacks Alex as Sam tries to deal with the brainwashed students. Alex manages to throw one of her gadgets into Telly's room where it activates his Mandybook as it exploded and the vacuum robot exploded all over Clover and her red catsuit gets turned to shreds (which is similar in "Attack of the 50 Foot Mandy"). Telly is then taken into custody by WOOHP and warns that he will have his revenge on them, while Jerry decides to erase Mandy's memories of the incident Telly had made.

There is no mention if they had ever interacted back in high school but he wanted to ensure the spies wouldn't interfere with his plans. Nonetheless, they were the reason for his defeat and incarceration.
Mandy[]
Back in high school, he had thought Mandy could be someone to befriend and sent her an online friend request, which she rejected.
