Storyline

A remake of the first season's "Room at the Bottom," with Mr. Pomfritt playing the part of the put-upon teacher with a dissatisfied spouse. Dobie and Maynard babysit the Pomfritts' children and are tempted to peek at the test, a high score on which would allow Dobie to transfer to an Ivy League school and meet men of means (a possibility that delights Mr. Gillis in a daydream).
