While gearing up to face the television cameras as captain of his high school's team on "Quiz-Em", Alex panics at first when a teammate drops out and then launches a tutoring program a la Eliza Doolittle for his sister Mallory.
Sumner is haunted by faces from his past; Paige is in a black mood over Tom's disappearing act; Val is in a quandary over Danny's harassment and Gary's proposal; Jeff moves to ease Karen's nerves.
Gary vanishes from the drunken car wreck set up by Danny, who ends up face-down in a swimming pool. Jeff returns from the dead, Anne and Claudia realize each is after Sumner's money, and a misunderstanding keeps Ryan and Paige at odds.
