At home, George Sr. is furious, but his anger is mismatched against Mary’s pre-exam jitters. She is obsessively studying for the notary exam, a test that is notoriously dull but requires total memorization. Connie (Meemaw) tries to calm her down, but Mary is a nervous wreck, fearing that failure will confirm she’s "just a church secretary."

Meanwhile, Sheldon, oblivious to the family chaos, is obsessed with a science project involving the aerodynamics of paper airplanes. He commandeers the dining room table, driving everyone crazy, until Missy snaps and launches one of his prototypes into the trash.

The climax arrives at the church rec room, where Mary takes her exam. Connie, George, and a begrudging Sheldon wait outside. When Mary emerges, she is pale—but she reveals she passed. The family cheers, but the celebration is short-lived when Mary turns to Georgie. "You're getting a job," she says, but with a smile. "And I'm going to help you study for your GED." For the first time, Georgie looks hopeful.
As Georgie faces the possibility of getting a real job (or worse, being grounded forever), he turns to his unlikely ally: his uncle, the recently paroled and perpetually inappropriate Sturgis (played brilliantly by Wallace Shawn). Sturgis, now living in a dingy motel, takes Georgie under his wing, teaching him the art of "low-level, low-risk, high-reward" hustling—starting with reselling overstock fireworks.
