Dick gives Tommy an assignment to check out high school, an institution that in four short years can "take a bright, inquisitive child and spit out a burger-flipping automaton." Sally, in a quest to experience sex, goes out on a date and returns home giggly and girlish, only to be devastated when Brad, her date, doesn't call as promised. Also, Dick is summoned to Tommy's school, where he is informed that Tommy has problems with authority. His response leaves Tommy's teachers speechless. Dick attempts to bond with Tommy, father to son, with no success whatever. Dr. Albright and Nina take Sally out for drinks to console her about her dating problems. Sally concludes that she's part of a huge cosmic joke: men and women are two entirely different species, forced to co-exist as best they can on the same planet.
