Junior year starts with Harvey arriving in a red Mercedes convertible, and meeting the group at a Harvey Howard Smokehouse for a toast of goat milk, which only T.J. Padmanagham likes. The Smokehouse maitre D' at Harvey Howard's, super-snob Burdick, doesn't like one bit of this. His first task is to rudely challenge the group to order their meals, which is fine with Harvey, who orders Harvey Burgers with special sauce for the lot. Burdick sneers back that it's too early for the special sauce. Navy brat Bob Bannerman chimes in with "... it's later than you think". The burgers arrive and are dry, carbonized, and inedible. Harvey, who stands behind all burgers served in his Smokehouses, calls Burdick over to "take them back". Burdick challenges Harvey to do better, which he does. Burdick, watching Harvey jump to it at the grill, catches Harvey Howard's full name and faints. Burdick completes eating a burger prepared by Harvey and becomes a transformed Harvey employee, hilarious. Over the summer, prior to junior year, Harvey had hired Professor Gauthier to tutor him at Nag's Head. His children, in turn, complain to the college and it appears that Gauthier has to resign to save face. The students protest and the president delays any action until the next spring.
