Despite everyone's protests, Joan allows her snobby, Ivy League-educated guidance counselor to advise her against applying to college. However, after Joan relays her plans to Roger, an engaging college student on the campus she's visiting, he tells her that college is attainable and persuades her to hire him as a tutor. Meanwhile, Adam becomes jealous of Joan's rapport with Roger; Will sees a dark side of Lucy; Helen questions her commitment to Catholicism, and Beth finds it difficult to resume a relationship with the wheelchair-bound Kevin.

Episode Quotes
 
Grace: You should have worn more leather.
 
Grace: Did you see how much he was sweating? I can't even get him to do that when we're alone.
 
Joan: Huh. I just used "autonomy" in a sentence.
 
Joan: Great. God is a pop-up ad. That's perfect.
 
Sammy: You schmutz it, you buy it.
 
Waiter: (to Kevin) Do you mind pulling in? This is the waiters' station.
Beth: Where do you expect him to go?!
 
Joan: Bottom-line, I'm not giving up. Luke, Friedman, the whole mess of them are going down.
 
God: It's because you see each event as an end in itself. But they're all just small parts of something much greater. Something that never ends.
Joan: You're very Matrix-y today.
 
Joan: I always knew God was an underachiever.
 
Joan: You want to tell me why you're here.
Goth Kid (God): It's a guidance session. I'm all about guidance.
 
Luke: I thought you worked for me, Grace?
Grace: I make out with you. I work for (Joan).
 
Goth Kid (God): Design. I like it. That's why I put it everywhere.
 
Helen: Joan, if you want to go to design school after college, I'm completely in favor. We won't pay, but I'm in favour.
 
Grace: All guys are psycho. There has to be another way to procreate.
 
Joan: As the probability of duplicating a tie decreases with each tie thrown, human behavior becomes the deciding factor. This is the domain of the philosophers and the poets and not the mathematicians.
Friedman: That was so hot!
