Homecoming

When Mallory's boyfriend Jeff arrives home from college and wants to go steady, she's elated, but it's soon apparent that he's a little awed by school and merely grasping at the familiar and she must decide whether to "let go" and accept the change in their relationship. Mallory is nervous that Jeff may have met someone new, outgrown her or forgotten her. When the opposite appears true, and he announces plans to quit school, she refuses at first to see the obvious; that he's just a little overwhelmed by college. What's thrilling to her is self-destructive on Jeff's part.

Mallorys Freund Jeff besucht das College in Princeton. Als er endlich mal wieder nach Hause kommt, ist Mallory auffallend nervös. Ihre Aufregung steigert sich noch, als Jeff sie einlädt, mit ihm aufs Schulfest zu gehen. Doch der Abend, der für Mallory so romantisch begonnen hat, endet in einer herben Enttäuschung.
