Episode #308 "I Right the Wrongs"

Sean is frustrated and angry when he learns that Eddie has been pressured into taking delivery on twenty cases of Crème de Menthe for the bar. Brad's getting impatient. He's proud to be Lily's boyfriend and can't understand her reluctance to let everyone know. Sean and Claudia ask Lily if she's ashamed to be seen with Brad. She admits that it's a little embarrassing, because he's such a geek at school. Sean tries to give Brad a pep talk about it, but realizes he has an uphill battle. Claudia tells Sean that Sister Helen has a problem with Jimmy's big hair, and Jimmy wants to keep it, because, he says, it's his trademark. Sean has taken Brad on as a project. He even tries to make him throw away all his kidstuff-silly tee shirts, action figures, his magazine collection-and be a man. Claudia accepts Eddie's challenge to use her sales skills at the bar and help him get rid of all the Crème de Menthe. Brad gives money to Scott, a big jock bully, who says he'll buy some beer for Brad. Scott demands additional money for "beer tax" and a lottery ticket and leaves while Brad waits outside the store. Lily explains to Jimmy that he doesn't want a trademark. Something like this could define him all the way through high school. She cites the case of the kid who wore the pink golf shirt and was known forever after as Pinky La Femme. When Scott refuses to give Brad his money back, Sean and Eddie get involved and force Scott to go buy the beer. To Sean's and Eddie's dismay, a cop arrives, sees Scott buying beer and busts him. Sister Helen shows up at the bar to talk to Sean about Scott. Scott's arrest caused him to be suspended from school, and Sister Helen knows that Sean forced him to buy the beer. He pressured one minor to buy beer for another minor! Sean has to do something about this, says Sister Helen. It soon becomes clear that Sister Helen's concerned that without Scott, the school will have no chance of beating its arch rival in basketball. But Sean still won't budge. Lily even wants Sean to speak up, because everyone at school's blaming Brad for Scott's suspension. Lily even defended Brad when he was being bullied in the schoolyard and told everyone to leave her boyfriend alone. Claudia does such a good job selling the Crème de Menthe by drinking along with the customers that she ends up plastered. She's mortified when she bumps into Sister Helen and almost knocks her out of her chair. And Jimmy tries to control his hair by gelling it, and earns the nickname Jelly.
