It takes a psychology class, headed by wise old Mr. Pomfritt (William Schallert) to convince Dobie marrying Zelda may actually be the secret to happiness and success for the rest of his life. According to Mr. Pomfritt, Dobie is a gentleman, an honorable person --and he fits the mold.
Zelda is as amazed as she is deliriously happy. After all, as she tells the story, she has been impatiently waiting "12 years, three months and four days!" HOWEVER... Herb has second thoughts about the whole thing. He says, "I'll dance ar your wedding and then I'll go in the alley and cut my throat!"
He storms into Mr. Pomfritt's classroom and threatens to punch him out --unless he could sort everything out to his satisfaction. In a hilarious exchange with Herb, Mrs. Gillis, Dobie and Zelda, Mr. Pomfritt says the most important thing is that Dobie comes from a very happy family. Herb argues back that everybody actually hates each other! Therefore, Dobie has NO chance in having a marriage that will work. Case closed.
It looks like it's all up to Dobie and Zelda, who have a very honest, soul searching heart to heart talk as to their future... and maybe, maybe they should wait a bit longer. Ya think?
As always, the ending is a lot of fun and a little poignant at the same time. Well writen by Lester Pine, who wrote most of the episodes for MR. LUCKY and several for PETER GUNN.
