Son Of A Critch

Mark's first day of junior high gets marred by a young bully named Fox. When he stands up for himself, he learns that words can hurt more than fists.

A chance encounter at a funeral parlour leads to Mark's first date with a girl; Fox finds herself unexpectedly jealous; Mary tries to convince Dick to sell her the old radio station truck.

When Mark's cello is forcefully taken by a gang of bullies, Fox begrudgingly comes to his rescue; Pop and Sister Rose take a stroll down memory lane.

When Richie invites himself to a sleepover, Mark scrambles to hide his family's eccentric behaviour; Mike Sr takes a pro-cucumber stance when the new vegetable buys ad time on VOCM Radio.

Princess Diana and Prince Charles visit St John's, which puts Mark in danger of being outed as a monarchist to his family; a gift from Dick Dunphy comes between Mike Sr and Mary.

Mark and Ritchie receive police protection after thinking they witnessed a crime on Halloween night; Fox grows weary of her brother's tiresome behaviour.
