Roger and Tony volunteer for a food experiment at the base hospital. Jeannie thinks they're brave, until she hears of the Swedish nurses. To reduce Tony and Roger to wrecks, Comdr. Porter starts them off with a 12 flight climb and 20 laps around the water tower. Jeannie visits the starved, exhausted astronauts and whisks in a table of goodies. As she asks about the nurses, they hear a sweet voice outside. Furious, Jeannie vanishes with the food. Miss Lugosi, bearing large hypodermics, advances and the boys pass out. Porter delightedly notes their weight loss and goes for Bellows. Jeannie finds Roger and Tony too weak to stand. She blanks and Porter and Bellows find them full of pep. Porter claims it was his special vitamins and plans a real test: 5 days on Skull Island, living off the land, but Bellows warns of the mental effects of starvation.

When Tony gets a sweet smelling letter from Fowler's Corners, Ohio, Jeannie smells trouble. His former high school sweetheart, Bonnie Crenshaw, not realizing he's married, writes "Bunky" (Tony's teenage nickname) that she's coming. When Bonnie arrives...

When Eddie (Brandon Cruz) balks at leaving for his first day at school, Tom (Bill Bixby) wonders if his child is too young to go. His doubts seem confirmed when the youngster runs away from the classroom and back to the comfort of his home. Returned to school, Eddie gets into a fight and then refuses to go back the following day. A wise word from Mrs. Livingston (Miyoshi Umeki) and a little reverse psychology on Tom's part solve the problem. But not without a touch of painful "growing up" for Eddie--and his father.
