The Vice President of the United States, George H. W. Bush, is coming to speak at McKinley. Cindy is the president of the school's Young Republicans Club and will get to introduce him at the assembly. Sam hangs out with Cindy and her friends. He's getting tired of it and suggests that they go one a date, one that he plans. She agrees.
Amy tells Ken a secret about herself. She was born with both male and female genitalia. Her parents had the male parts removed when she was a baby. Ken doesn't know how to react. He likes her but he is unable to show it. He shares this information with Daniel and Nick, even though he told Amy he wouldn't share it with anyones else.
Mr. Rosso selects Lindsey to ask the first question of the Vice President. She has to submit her question in advance for approval and it gets rejected. The Vice President's people want her to ask him what's his favorite place to eat in Michigan. She's angry. Mr. Rosso isn't happy either. She tells her parents but they just want her to mention her father's hardware store when she's asking the question.
Ken starts thinking that he might be gay. He goes to talk to Mr. Rosso because he thinks Mr. Rosso is gay. He's not and Ken quickly leaves. Daniel says something innocuous to Ken and Amy. Ken interprets it as a crack about Amy's past and punches Daniel. Amy doesn't want to talk to Ken after she figures out that he told Daniel about her secret.
Sam takes Cindy to see The Jerk at a movie theater. She doesn't like it or the gift he gave her. She gives him a hickey which he covers up with a turtleneck. Sam decides to break up with Cindy. She can't believe it when he does.
Ken decides he's been acting stupid. He apologizes to Amy just before the assembly. She accepts his apology and then they kiss and makeup.
The head of the secret service detail for the Vice President doesn't allow Mr. Rosso in to the assembly. It has to do with something in his past.
Lindsey gets to ask the first question, as promised. Her parents are there. She starts by mentioning her father's hardware store, which makes her parents happy. She then asks the Vice President why he's afraid of an honest question.
Thoughts
The Vice President's face is never shown.
Ben Stiller plays the head of the Secret Service team.
This was another solid episode. There was a good mix of humor and serious stuff.
