This Bullard & Fromstein story pulls things further back on track, focusing on the characters and their relationships in a more realistic way than some episodes this season.  The "lost youth" of the title refers to that of both Jackie and Mark.  She feels like things are in a rut, especially when Fred is shocked at the idea of having sex in their car.  Meanwhile, Mark gets in a competition with David for the attention of Stacy (Lords), and it's unclear if he's doing this partly because he misses being a bachelor, or if he feels jealous of David's good SAT scores and chance of getting into college.  (David has turned his scholastic career around since last season, presumably making up for ditching school and living with Darlene.)  The relationship between the two Healy brothers is given more dimensions than usual, instead of just exchanges of insults.  As for Fred and Jackie, this will prove to be the beginning of the end for them.
