[edit] Summary
Dr. Blackgaard and Richard Maxwell work (through some immoral and some illegal methods) to get Blackgaard's Castle approved by the town council. Meanwhile, Connie and Whit make up, but Lucy becomes more closely attached to Richard Maxwell.
[edit] Plot
Blackgaard interviews Connie, smoothly suggesting that her firing was all Whit's fault. Regis cleverly maneuvers the conversation around to the "Applesauce" computer program. Connie barely keeps from telling the men what the program did. Then Blackgaard offers her a job, and she says she needs to think about it.
After Connie leaves, Blackgaard asks Richard how "the plans" are proceeding. Richard says getting Whit out of the way for the vote is no problem, but he's nervous about the plan for Tom Riley. Blackgaard unleashes his wrath on Maxwell, who crumbles under the pressure and promises not to let down Blackgaard.
Meanwhile, at the Riley farm, Tom and Whit discuss the upcoming vote and the situation with Connie, agreeing that much prayer is in order. Back at Whit's End, Richard Maxwell is spinning Blackgaard's web of deceit-and his vehicle is Lucy. First, Richard charms Lucy into calling Connie's house to tell her that Whit wants to meet with her. Then Maxwell persuades Lucy to deliver a note to Whit saying that Connie wants to meet with him. This meeting is planned for the same time as the city council vote. Finally, as for Tom Riley, Richard takes care of him in a much more direct fashion-by setting his barn on fire. The ploys work--Whit and Tom miss the vote. Dr. Regis Blackgaard gets his license...and is here to stay.
[edit] Discussion Questions

- Why was Lucy so influenced by Richard Maxwell?
- Connie got her job back because Lucy lied. Is it okay to lie if something good can result from it?
- Why or why not?
