Buddy admirers her English teacher Alex (Cliff DeYoung) until she finds out he has been seeing a student. A horrible rumor goes around that Buddy too is seeing the teacher, because she was at his apartment helping with an auction, and the student who was seeing Alex called and Buddy answered the phone. This was a different time, but I'm still surprised at Kate in this episode. She tells a sulking Buddy "even good people make mistakes", which is true, but what we are talking about isn't just a mistake. This subject was handled in a way that it certainly wouldn't be today. It was odd that Kate was nervous about Buddy's closeness to Alex, and then she was quick to tell Buddy he should be forgiven for this.
Plot B involves Willie using Annie because he thinks she knows a famous playwright. Annie has started to look up to Willie in much the same way that Buddy did growing up.
This is a very entertaining episode regardless of the odd storyline involving the teacher. DeYoung's character was definitely in the wrong, and it's kind of odd that he doesn't come off as a sleaze ball by the end of the episode. I don't agree with Alex or Kate at all, but it was still a good episode overall.
