Simon is concerned about the amount of homework Samantha seems to be getting, so he visits her teacher to find out why. Her teacher explains that she has to do catch-up work because of her Wednesday afternoons off to see the Child Psychiatrist. Simon realises that Samantha is taking the afternoon off for a reason of her own and decides to find out what. When he asks a friend of hers she tells him Samantha is in love with someone. He finds out that it is a famous actor who is playing Hamlet at the London Theatre. Simon goes along to find Samantha there. She is crying because the actor has just announced his engagement to the lady who plays Ophelia. Although Simon can understand her disappointment, he tells her she must start going to school.
