Dan is still trapped in a teaching job he despises and rejected by the girl he thinks will solve everything, Miss Lipsey, so he turns his attentions to self-improvement.

Dan has an appraisal at work, and fate throws him into the path of his childhood nemesis. Jo has a new money-making scheme, and Brian is determined to be published.

After sad news from pupil Dennis's family, Dan, primarily motivated by impressing Miss Lipsey, volunteers to look after the boy for a weekend.
