A bully named Buddy Hinton (Russell Schulman) teases Cindy about her lisp. Peter tries to defend Cindy but backs down when Buddy challenges him to a fight. Mike tells Peter to reason with Buddy, but he instead ends up with a black eye. Mike and Carol try talking to Buddy's parents who turn out to be bullies themselves. Mike encourages Peter to defend himself, and Peter goes into training. When Peter and Cindy are again teased by Buddy the next day, Peter punches him in the mouth, loosening a tooth. Cindy teases Buddy and everyone laughs, but Peter orders them to stop for the same reason why Cindy didn't like being teased. Buddy later shows up at the Brady house in hopes of borrowing Cindy's tongue-twister book. Note: Eve Plumb (Jan Brady) does not appear in this episode. Guest stars: Paul Sorensen as Ralph Hinton, Ceil Cabot as Mrs. Hinton
