S1. E6 - Mickey Swallows a Bee - Monday Oct 25, 2004
When ever-gentle son Mickey literally swallows a bee, he and dad Tony decide to let him finish the last hole of his golf course before rushing him and the tournament cup to the hospital. Dana is appalled by such poor prioritizing but has bad news: Mickey's report card is a crushing testimony to his inability to combine top-level golf practice--his best shot at a college scholarship--with limited academic talent. Bernie makes Tony admit that any sports career is far too fragile to rely upon, but then Mickey, who has taken up hospital volunteer work, says he wants to be there when doctors save lives in ER, so Tony thinks he has his little heart set on medical studies. Alas, when proud pa interviews sonny dear on his own TV show, Mickey points out he wants to become a humble orderly: no college required. Yet at the hospital Tony sees that doing the shitty (bedpans!) jobs nobody wants makes both patients and his kind kid sincerely happy. Meanwhile. Megan maintains that if Mickey isn't forced to get good grades, she can slack off a little....lot.
