Lindsay decides she doesn't want to be a mathlete anymore. She goes back to hanging out with Kim, Daniel, Ken, and Nick.

Thoughts

This was a fun episode to watch. There were a lot of good laughs in Sam's part of it. He couldn't see what was coming but it was pretty clear he was bound to fail with the jump suit. He wanted to believe in it and did until the crap he was getting from other students got to be a little too much.

Lindsay's part of the episode was good. It didn't speak to me as much as Sam's did.
