Episode #310 "Jailhouse Dick"

  Officer Don takes Dick on a tour of the jail, and Dick’s scandalized that so little effort is being made to rehabilitate the prisoners; to make a point he pays Eddie’s fine and takes responsibility for turning him into an upright citizen. Harry’s nervous about a 500-word book report on "Little Women" that’s required for his night school class; Tommy suggests buying Cliff’s Notes and, when that idea doesn’t work, renting the video. Pepper, Dr. Albright’s dog, is disobedient and a nuisance; since Pepper was a gift from Dick, she decides to give him back. The aliens are a little nervous about having Eddie for a houseguest; Dick finds him a job in the audio-visual department at the university but becomes furious and abusive when Eddie refuses to bend the rules and give him a projector that someone else has reserved. Dick doesn’t want Pepper back but grudgingly orders Sally to take care of him; Sally can’t control him and can’t find anyone to give him to, so she and Dr. Albright guiltily take him to the dog pound in the Rambler. When Dick finds that the car is missing, he assumes that Eddie has stolen it and has Officer Don track him down and arrest him. Sally and Albright return from the pound with two new dogs and the Rambler, and it becomes clear that Officer Don has made a false arrest. Pepper returns, and now there are three dogs to contend with instead of one. Harry, unable to find a "Little Women" video, writes down the conflicting opinions of his study group which be submits as his book report with questionable success.
