When Helen tells Andy Opie isn't doing too well in math, he's pretty relaxed about it. She recommends that Opie should do a bit more homework and he agrees. Barney, however, thinks Andy's attitude is completely off base. Barney starts talking about how Opie may not get into college and the like and gets Aunt Bee all worried. Soon, Andy is just as stressed and he tells Opie to buckle down and cut out the play time. Helen soon reports to him that since they last spoke of Opie, he is actually doing much worse and not only in math. Andy can't understand since he's been quite strict with Opie who has done nothing but study. Helen suggests that that may just be the problem.
