Monica Young resigns, pretending it's to to care for her sick mother. Ben settles for spending time with Sue innocently, yet her dad insists to forbid any contact, his own parents contemplate therapy and even a police report; pa confides in him afterward to have had something too with a much older alto-player in his school band himself, but sticks to indefinite grounding. Jonathan really digs Sabrina, but feels obligated to stay loyal to Deb, who fails to get her otherwise liberal ma's permission for a volunteer 'groupie' internship with a music magazine, yet Michael pleads for it but is ignored. Jackie is elected class president, to her own surprise. Sabrina repeatedly touching him unannounced while working in the dark room on Deb's photos makes Jonathan so horny he ends up kissing her, only to be barked off and betrayed to Deb, who dumps him just as heartlessly as she had turned on Dino. Counselor Dr. Belber insists Dino has no responsibility for his parents's break-up, let alone for his ma's cheating, and finally gets him to say it, then grills his ma, and advices Dino on their last session to forgive her and take responsibility for his own life again. He confides into Jackie about his erectile dysfunction, which convinces her he's serious about real friendship, and even decides to move back in with his overjoyed ma and kid brother Max.
