This first of four WtB stories written by David Lesser has Tony beginning college.  (Does Ridgemont start after the high school or are these episodes not airing in the right order?)  His Public Speaking instructor, Professor Darnell (Nicholas Pryor, who was Major Nathaniel Burnham on M*A*S*H), criticizes his speaking style, and best friend Angela admits that it could be a barrier in getting a job.  Tony goes overboard to become a more eloquent speaker, till his Brooklyn self gives him honest feedback.  This is one of those episodes with an unreal, sort of fantasy, moment, here with the Brooklyn-Tony leaving behind his paddle ball.

Chelsea Noble would return in the role of Tony's classmate Cynthia.
