She fights chancellor Peter Benedict for executing administrative staff cuts imposed by board budget choices, meaning Vera Vaughn is also out, and because he refuses to continue the unbroken tradition of the Moonlight address to the student body at midnight before the new college year- he gets her to discuss it at dinner, walks out tired of her constant and ill-considered abuse, but still offers her an alternative: she may hold the address. At home, Grace rages to assembled students to arouse crazy fanaticism her style for the Democratic electoral campaign, till Jack tells everybody to leave realizing she's smoking marijuana in public, again. Now Jack is suspended from the team after taking the blame for ma's pot which Bobby brought to school, he dates chancellor Benedict's daughter Courtney, but misreads her accepting to go bowling with the brothers. Bobby bravely goes own up to principal Farber, which nearly gets both brothers suspended for at least a whole term; Jack steps in just at time, but is so scared that he gives Bobby heaps and tells the poor kid brother to butt out of his life. After finding ma stoned that evening, Bobby runs away, actually to Courtney, trying in vain to make her reconsider Jack, who guesses and finds him. The shock brings Jack and ma closer together again, realizing Bobby is too good to stay mad at. Written by KGF Vissers See less
