Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Bobby learns about power, discretion, and responsibility when he is named safety monitor at school (involuntarily). His classmates avoid him, and when he writes up Cindy for running in the hallway and gets her a detention, she gets mad at him. Bobby still abuses his power and writes people up for minor infractions, including his older siblings. Bobby learns his lesson when he breaks the rules himself to save a classmate's cat from an abandoned house. In the subplot other family members restore an old sailboat. Note: Barry Williams admitted to being stoned in the scene where he is pumping up the bike tire.
