Eddy decides to not follow the rules and tries to convince the other kids in the cul-de-sac that they don't need to either. Initially, they express fear and doubt, but soon they follow suit.
Grandpa Munster gave Eddie a magic potion that inadvertently caused him to grow a beard. While eating dinner, the Munsters find out that Eddie's beard dissolves in water. Herman takes the opportunity to instill a valuable lesson in Eddie: it doesn't matter what he looks like, but what really matters is "the size of [his] heart, and the strength of [his] character." This clip suggests that we should not judge others by how they look but by their inner qualities and how they treat others.
Over dinner, Bartleby tries to explain to his parents why it's not necessary for him to go to college. He argues that it's fiscally irresponsible to do so. His parents don't understand and tell him that he has to attend college in order to succeed in life. Bartleby gives examples of successful people who didn't attend college, but it doesn't change his parents' mind.
