As finals week approaches, the hot topic of discussion is Penny's skipping town with Rich. Aggie and Marshall, who've started jogging together as friends (although Aggie's still secretly in love with him) joke about Penny's decision, although Marshall reveals that Karen's oddly obsessed with it. Penny's friends discuss it animatedly, while keeping it a secret from her parents, Penny having told them for now that she's staying over at Brandi's to study. Katy-Ann, however, feels her friend is making a big mistake, and agonizes silently over whether to tell her parents the truth, finally turning to God for guidance.
