Concerned by Danny's disruptive classroom behavior, Shirley (Shirley Jones) consults psychologist Dr. Beecher (Charlotte Rae), who suggests that Danny (Danny Bonaduce) is frustrated because he feels like a powerless child. At Beecher's suggestion, Shirley temporarily allows Danny to indulge his every whim--only to incur the anger of the other kids who resent their brother getting such preferential treatment. Ultimately, Danny must realize on his own that it's not much fun to be a grownup and to give "powerless" childhood a second chance. Frequent Partridge Family guest star Bruce Kimmel shows up as yet another of Laurie Partridge's boyfriends, this one named Richard.
