How It All Goes Down
- Conrad waits for his friend Lazenby to take him to school.
- Carpooling with Lazenby are Van Buren and Stillman. They do what teen boys do: check out girls and make crass comments.
- Stillman's remarks don't sit well with Conrad, but he keeps his feelings to himself.
- In chorus, Conrad chats with Jeannine Pratt, who is a babe; then he has to go to swim practice.
- Salan, the coach, asks Jarrett if he's on medication and if they gave him electroshock therapy in the hospital.
- Medication: no. Electroshock: yes. Yikes.
- After swim practice, Lazenby takes Conrad home.
- Conrad gazes at his First Place swim team photo and reminisces about liking swimming and being good at it.
- His mother comes home, and Conrad unintentionally surprises her.
- Conrad asks how the golf game was. "Fine. Cold" (3.84), his mom says.
- Then Conrad tells Beth that he did well at swim practice. "Good" (3.89), she says, and heads to her room. She's a woman of few words.
