Jim defended Janet when Mary blamed her for Alice foregoing college. Ken advised Janet to express her feelings more and admitted to her that Tom is a great guy except for the way he mistreats his girlfriends. Pat accused Alice of upsetting Mary over art school then groused about Alice's interest in her relationship with Tom. Tom sweet-talked Pat while encouraging her to spend another weekend with him at the lake. Jim offered Pat sage fatherly advice about Tom and men.
