The dumbing down of American education as students are given a undeserved pass. Mark outs himself on radio. Duke involves himself with JFK conspiracy theorists. Recovered memory becomes fashionable and the homeless are now viewed as addicts which gives even liberals a reason not to give them anything with the idea of not enabling. George Bush Jr. is stepping into the arena.
Mr. Butts fighting rearguard action against the new laws. Duke becomes body guard for Ollie North.
Whitewater is dogging Clinton.

Bill Clinton er lige tiltrådt som præsident. Mange venter spændt på en opringning fra Clintons folk. Joanie Caucus får en og bliver ansat i justitsministeriet. Det gør hende interessant, så pludselig vil alle snakke med hende.
Zonker Harris udnytter barnepigeskandalen til at få faste forhold for slet ikke at tale om løn og pension i jobbet som barnepasser for Sam. Han bliver opsøgt af Cornell, der leder efter hash til at bage medicinske småkager af. Via Zonker og Honey får han et ton af Dukes lager. B.D. opdager det, men Boopsie redder Zonker. Alex er træt af at være en "nullermand". Duke finder på en fidus med at lade sig tilsyneladende begrave i en lavine, men agenten Sid + Honey + alle mulige andre står i show more kø for at skumme fløden.
J.J. tager Alex med på job som taxi-chauffør. Barbare Ann Boopstein, kaldet Boopsie, prøvet et 3D indkøbsheadset og bruger 73000$ på 10 minutter.
I Louisiana bliver en japansk udvekslingsstuderende skudt og dræbt af en mand, der forsvarer sin græsplæne.
Boopsie får en indkaldelse til at møde ved Bill Clinton, men hans rådgivere nedlægger veto. Clinton bliver skildret som skarp, storspisende og med appetit for damer. Joanie Caucus bliver opsøgt i drømme af Andy Lippincot, der jo er død af aids. Mike får freelance arbejde men det hjælper ikke på selvværdet at det er reklamebrochurer for en stripklub. Han drømmer om at blive rig og berømt. Han køber en Newton, men "Denne sætning er en prøve" bliver til "Benny sælger enorm løve" osv.
Andy Lippincot besøger også Mark og spørger ham om han måske er bøsse? Det får Mark til at gå helt op i limningen og han opsøger Mike og J.J. for at finde rede på sit liv.
Rektor King forsøger at reintegrere Walden, men ender med at det sker ved at alle vender sig imod ham.
Jimmy Thudpucker har fundet countrymusikken og er nu Jimmy Ray Thudpucker.
Internettet og chat om aftenen på nettet er ved at blive in. Mike Milken er blevet løsladt og underviser nu i grådighed på universitetet.
Bill Clinton får Nafta-aftalen i hus, men det har kostet dyrt i skøre løfter.
Det 30. årsmøde for Kennedy-mordsammensværgelses-teoretikere er anledning til at præsentere en flok skøre kugler, der kan skrive hele bøger om hver enkelt person på Zapruder-filmen. På et "nyt" foto ses en mand med cigaretrør. Han identificeres hurtigt som Duke.
Det er nemmere at tro på Lee Harvey Oswald som morder end at tro på en sammensværgelse med flere hundrede deltagere.

Smukt tidsbillede af starten på Clintons præsidenttid.
