Willie awkwardly making small talk with Randy Boylan.
Randy Boylan is a center for the high school football team. Lynn tutors him in English but is not romantically interested in him. She uses Randy as a cover to see Eddie behind her parents' backs.
Randy has a mild romantic interest in Lynn and a scene ensues when Lynn agrees to go to a dance with him, as friends, as Danny Duckworth is interested in going steady with Lynn. When Danny and Randy nearly end up fighting, Lynn chastizes Danny for treating her like his turf, but also says that Randy does not have to be macho for her sake. Lynn defuses the fight on the basis that she was dateless for the dance and so was Randy, and Danny gives his approval.
After the dance, Lynn and Danny have a serious talk and decide to go steady.
