It's Sunday and the students are hurrying to get off campus for the day. This prompts Maxie to remark, "I don't think there's a lonelier place than a college campus on a Sunday." She is leaving for the racetrack and Mrs. G is planning to go to her daughter's house for their Sunday family dinner together. A phone call stops Mrs. G, as her daughter Suzie informs her that her mother-in-law is sick and they'll be taking her to the doctor. Mrs. G now finds herself alone on the lonely college campus. She does what many of us find ourselves doing when bored and alone. She takes on a small task in fixing a clock and looks longingly out the window in observance of the happenings. It's nice day and she decides to get and walk. She wanders into the chemistry building and gives the caged rabbits and monkeys a pep talk on their importance. She unsuccessfully tries to integrate herself into the company of the few scattered fellow students she can find on campus. In "the supermarket of knowledge", the library, she settles for looking for a book, but finds company in an unexpected way.
The series continues to shape a sympathetic view for the protagonist and her drive to thrive despite being much older, lonely, and out of place compared to her peers. The comedy continues to be very light, instead giving a more melodramatic tone.
