synopsis
This episode makes it hard to believe that Tommy Hyatt (Philip McKeon) was only eleven years old when Alice began. Now, Tommy is nearly twenty, a college student--and on the verge of becoming a problem drinker! Mom Alice (Linda Lavin) frets over the possibility that Tommy's excessive partying will prove to be his undoing, and she has even more reason to agonize when her besotted son--who has been sporting a "Mister T" haircut of late--ends up "misplacing" the sports car owned by her current beau Nick (Michael Durrell).
