Maggie (Joanna Kerns) begins spending every evening at the newspaper working on a toxic-waste story with fellow reporter Fred (Tom O'Rourke). This makes Jason (Alan Thicke) angry, not so much because he'd rather spend time with Maggie, but because Fred is so darned good-looking. Meanwhile, youngest Seaver son Ben (Jeremy Miller) focues on a school science project that seems deliberately contrived to irritate his older siblings.
