Charlie promises to help Jake prepare a book report, due Monday, while Alan goes to DMV, but Charlie tells Jake to take it easy all Saturday till the deadline starts itching, as he does with a jingle deadline. Although doing the gambler's homework is lost on Jake, sheer luck makes him win over $1,000 on impossible odds. Alan was dumb enough to give his number -he bragged about getting a nice low one by calling in for an appointment- away to a young mother, obviously unworthy of help, and wants to confiscate the winnings for a not yet existing college fund, but Charlie insists to let him spend it, alas after a few minor luxuries on something nobody enjoys in the end.
