"Mr. Feeny. Mr. Feeny!" Eric's yelling when Letty walks into the backyard at his house.
The brunette chuckles as the teacher's backdoor opens, and he walks outside. Rather than interrupting whatever's got Eric so worked up, she opts to wait so that she can talk to him after he's calmed down some. She has the next couple of days off from work, and she wants to know if he's free to go out and talk like they said they would last week.
"Mr. Matthews, what can I do for you?" Feeny asks as he takes the few steps toward the gate, a book in his hand.
"I got a problem. You're not out here gardening." Eric says. "You're not at school, you're not gardening. What are you doing?"
"I'm sorry." He holds a hand up. "I'm here now."
"Okay." He nods. "I've been selected to be on this MTV game show Singled Out. And I know they're gonna interview me before I go on the show, and I know they're gonna ask me what college I go to."
"You don't go to a college."
"Now, the one thing I don't wanna say is Harvard." He continues. "I mean, they're gonna know I don't go to Harvard. They're gonna think I'm so stupid because I don't know the name of some other prestigious school, so... I was wondering, could you just give me the name of the school you went to, you know, if it still exists?" Eric asks him.
"I won't do that, Mr. Matthews." Feeny shakes his head.
"Gone, huh?"
"I won't be a party to this deception. And my advice to you is to think long and hard about what you're doing." He tells him.
Letty's gaze drops to the ground as her eyebrows furrow; she's trying to keep her composure as she turns around and leaves the Matthews' house. She knows exactly what Singled Out is — it's a dating show that she used to make fun of. And now Eric's gonna be a contestant.

"The hell are you doing here?" Tyler asks when he finds his teenage roommate on the living room couch Saturday night. "I thought you were gonna ask your ex out on a date."
"I was."
"So, what happened?"
"He already has plans."
"And he didn't cancel? So much for being in love with you." He says sarcastically as he sits down beside her. "Is that why you're acting like a depressed teenager, sitting in the dark and watching crappy television?"
