Ever-selfish ma expects Jack to drop everything and mind Bobby for her while she leaves in a hurry for an inter-faculty bonding event, but Jack decides instead to host the team party which he would have missed when it loses its venue, allowing even the water-polo team to join in. The brothers can't enjoy it much, mounting guard on door and phone in case ma checks up, but just when Courtney and Jack's other ex have them both aside talking she phones, so a party animal tells her it's an open door party; the chancellor stops drunk ma from returning but has her call the police. Ma finds her own student assistant committed blatant plagiarism, yet changes her disappointed feminist mind on making her loose the scholarship she denied a better qualified man 'for social advancement'. Bobby decides to leave Challenge, telling ma it never was his idea anyway; only now she listens to the program mentor, who was surprised she pushed to get Bobby in, after showing no interest when Jack was offered a place two years earlier, then finds out he even forged her non-permission to duck it, his pertinent reasons hit her even harder.
