S5E14 The Way We Were

Tommy and Ernie return from college sporting their "preppy" styles and unexpectedly encounter Jill, Tommy's former girlfriend. When Jill shows interest in Ernie instead of Tommy, David steps in to help Tommy see that clinging to the past isn’t a healthy way to move forward. Meanwhile, David decides to move into an apartment complex exclusively for singles. Frustrated by Tom's denial of financial help, Nicholas takes matters into his own hands and secures a job delivering a competing newspaper.
