Complete story — includes the ending

Greg's rival high school quarterback Jerry Rogers (Chris Beaumont) feigns interest in Marcia, but only to gain access to the Westdale High School football team's playbook. Greg tries to warn a lovestruck Marcia about Jerry, much to her angered disbelief, and Bobby backs Greg's story when he sees Jerry try to steal the playbook. Greg then devises a phony playbook and convinces Marcia to invite Jerry over for a visit. Marcia then discovers Jerry's true intentions and becomes crushed. Mike then informs Greg that his deception was just as dishonest as Jerry's stealing the playbook, which prompts Greg to call Jerry to right the wrongs, although Jerry does not believe him. It is then revealed that during the game, Jerry's coach learns that he stole the phony playbook and benches him early in the game, allowing Westdale to win easily, 20-7. In the subplot, Carol is paid an unexpected visit by her egotistical high school sweetheart, Tank Gates ( Denny Miller ).
