Maynard has read headlines of the day, and fears the world will end. While Dobie tries to reassure Maynard that life will go on, Chatsworth takes advantage of Maynard's terror. Meanwhile, the class prepares a time capsule.

Dobie falls (literally) for a kind-hearted girl whose parents have come up with unusual rules for guys who want to date her. Dobie must share his date with Chatsworth, and then Maynard, or call it quits completely.
