Tad says he was waiting for Jimmy and explains their idea of egging Mr. Hattrick's house for nearly getting Mr. Galloway fired.

"Jimmy is surprised to find the Boys' Dorm empty except for Pete, who's watching television by himself. Pete is very despondent about Gary's betrayal. As he puts it, even though Gary bullied him mercilessly, he was at least part of a group for once, and now he's alone again. Jimmy informs Pete that he's not alone, and again asks where everyone is.

She spots Jimmy and launches into a speech about the holiday season pageant she's putting on, and how the whole thing is about to be ruined because one of her percussionists has appendicitis.

Jimmy sees him and tells him to put the bottle down and reminds him that he promised Ms. Philips to stop drinking.
