Skippy is hoping that Mallory is just using Nick to make him jealous, but of course she refuses to go with him to the homecoming dance; Skippy is heart-broken but convinces Alex to find him a blind date. Any human female will do - and Alex, out of desperation, chooses Dr. Sylvia Wagner, a divorced psychiatrist who is researching adolescent social life and sees Skippy as a voluntary study subject. Even for him, she is no catch - but he agrees, hoping absurdly to make Mallory a bit jealous. Nick hates anything involving neckties or school, and the dance involves both. Alex's speech refers repeatedly to facial hair. After vague encouragement from Sylvia, Skippy picks a fight with patient Nick for Mallory, who has been rejecting him for 18 years; grumpy principal Bidney blames both as well as Alex, who only tried to separate them.
