Just going to repost what I said down yonder at the AV Club:
I don't think I, or any of us expected for this to be as great as it was. I don't know if it's because I've been waiting two and a half years for this, but I think this may just be the series' best episode yet. It seems like it was the first one to actually manage to master the balancing act of pathos and humor Season 4 attempted to do with mixed results. And the reveal that Girly mag scientist was the quizboy who called out Billy in 'The Invisible Hand of Fate'? Brilliant.

This was my interpretation, as well. Billy was only made to cheat once, but Todd's discovery would have destroyed Billy's credibility. The other contestants who had lost to Billy would wrongly conclude that he had been fed answers. St. Cloud would have been one of those earlier contestants.
The boy next to Billy in "Invisible Hand of Fate"--the one who calls Billy on his incorrect answer--is named Todd and looks nothing like St. Cloud. He also sounds nothing like St. Cloud (here I'm not talking about pitch, which would've changed with age, but rather about his verbal affectations). I don't think we're meant to conclude that they're the same person.

Todd is blonde...
Though, St. Cloud's hair is confirmed as being wigs (Pe Wei is seen brushing one of at least 20!)?

I find it hard to believe that no one has mentioned the Robot Chicken Season 11 finale with the Venture Bros Season 8 scene at the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKH-J3f2RkM
