High School bullies are bad.

Mr. Marcus, fresh from his portrayal of Dr. Fleischmann in Dr. Crumholtz's office, recalls the first time he got to "play doctor." I hope that the mental review doesn't distract him while he's driving home. He might rear-end somebody. The episode in question harkens back to daughter Annie's high school senior year, at the fateful volleyball game when Mr. Marcus gave Lore a big hug (that eventually led to "One For Good Luck"). Whose ball is it, anyway?

Mr. Adams teaches history in high school. One of his students has trouble keeping up his grades. Mr. Adams offers to tutor him, but it doesn't seem to really help. The student is desperate and is willing to try anything.

What is worse than anything even torture - betrayal. It can leave one blind to the beauty and perfection that should be obvious. This is a story about one young man who is brought back from despair by the love he had always sought.
