| "Reach for the
Sky" |
| Luke gets the results of his Air
Force test and interview. He is accepted into
Navigator training but he wants to be a pilot.
Michelle Lindsay, a self-destructive
developmentally-disabled girl, is brought into
the hospital after a fall. She's been heavily
drugged and her doctor (Dr. Holden) is
recommending psychosurgery. Harry begins fighting
for her rights and, after much effort, convinces
her mother to let him try to help Michelle. After
taking her off the drugs and calling in a
psychiatrist (Dr. Mason), they determine that
Michelle is bored and frustrated and they arrange
for her to go to a group home that will stimulate
her more. Luke asks Darcy to marry him and
decides he's going to open up a auto mechanic
shop. Bob turns 60 and discovers that his
retirement fund amounts to only $2500. Cookie
gets a computer program from Tiger Kelly that
figures out which horses will win and he
convinces Bob to bet his whole retirement fund on
it. Unfortunately, Esme reads the results wrong
and it looks like Bob is going to lose
everything. He blames Cookie and says he never
wants to see him again. Cookie is heartbroken.
Later, it turns out the computer program was
wrong -- the horse comes in at 50:1 and Bob wins
$125,000. He and Cookie make up and decide to
leave the Valley. Darcy tells Luke he can
transfer to pilot training from navigator
training. He changes his mind and decides to go
to Melbourne after all. He gives Darcy a little
red scooter. |
