Plot summary

Philip and Vivian welcome their old friend, a '60s radical named Marge ( Peggy Blow ), who arouses the FBI's interest and influences Will and Carlton to take action over the firing of a nonconformist teacher. When Will gets suspended for locking himself in a classroom, Philip and Vivian have an argument with Marge, who assumes that Philip had forgotten his past. Philip sternly assures her that he has matured, choosing not to fight in the streets anymore as he has an office to fight from. Will tries to go the same path as Marge until she tells him that he has to find his own way. An FBI agent ( Tim Russ ) visits the Banks and asks Philip and Vivian where Marge was. The both of them, plus Will and Hilary, list different locations to make it seem like they didn't know where Marge was going.
