They give him the no party rule. Mary tells him to get an alarm clock to wake up on time. Missy thinks this is unfair. Missy (Raegan Revord) thinks this is unfair, so she begins to complain. George tells her to appreciate what she has, only to complain about his own life. At school, Sheldon walks into Hudson Hall, but runs into Sam, who is trying to find a place to study. She tells him her roommate has a sock on a door, so she cannot be in there. He is confused, but offers to let her use his room. When they get to the room, Sam is jealous he has a single with two closets and a bathroom. He begins to brag about it; she tells her to tell him about why everyone dislikes. He annoys people because he is an entitled brat and is condescending with everyone else. June and Meemaw meet for lunch at a bar.

He wonders how long June will be partner, causing Meemaw to remind him they don't have any money to pay her. She wants to yell, but Georgie reminds her about her blood pressure. She then decides to have a cigarette, which he says is no better. When is about to leave, she says the business may just end. Sheldon is concerned about Sam thinking he is not a good person and his own overall behaviour, so he goes to Dr John Sturgis for advice.

MeeMaw wants him to leave, but he wants his chicken fingers. They meet for lunch. Meemaw tells that she does not have the money to pay her, amid a salary for Georgie and paying off the police. June suggests making her a partner and saying it is her problem, to which Meemaw begrudgingly agrees. Sheldon leaves an academic building when a student named Matt talks to him. He gives Sheldon a Yoo-hoo for letting him use the room. Sam and Sheldon walk to the dorm room, where two people who were ‘studying’ are just leaving. He thinks they are going to ace their midterms, but Sam tries to explain to him that they are not using it for studying.
