Production No. 16184 - "Summer in Alaska"
Eddie is bragging to Wally and Lumpy about his summer job on a fishing boat--his uncle has arranged it, since he knows the owner. He suggests that Wally and Lumpy go along, but both their parents say no.
Lumpy comes over to Wally's to break that news, and both teens are depressed. Beaver suggests that Eddie is making the whole thing up.
To prove he's not lying, Eddie suggests that Wally and Lumpy accompany him to the interview at the waterfront, with Captain Drake. Since the transom is open, Wally and Lumpy listen as Drake acts more like Captain Bligh--character actor Harry Harver Sr. turns in a memorable performance as Captain Drake. By the time Eddie joins Wally and Lumpy in the outer office and sees a fish picture, he becomes unsteady.
Later at the Cleaver house Eddie tells Wally he doesn't want to go, feels trapped because he made a big play with his dad to do it, and is going to a movie to think it over. Wally goes to talk the whole thing over with Mr. Haskell, and Haskell agrees to get Eddie out of the trip by forbidding him to go.
Production No. 16185 - "Don Juan Beaver"
Beaver has been invited to a graduation dance by Peggy MacIntosh (played by Veronica Cartwright, who had played Violet Rutherford in earlier seasons). Later, new girl Melinda Neilson also asks Beaver, who's so taken with her, he doesn't tell her he has another date.
At dinner, Beaver tells the family about his dilemma--and his parents tell him he should advise Melinda he already has a date. As Beaver mopes in his room, Eddie stops by and gives him advice on the problem--play Eddie's game called "ditcin' the dodo"--be as obnoxious as possible to get rid of the unwanted date.
Beaver puts Eddie's game into practice with Peggy, but after a few rude acts, she's hip to it, has heard he wants take Melinda to the dance, and tells him she's OK with that. Beaver tells her he'll call her later.
Then Beaver tells Melinda he can't take her and she reads him the riot act; he also tells her he'll call her later.
When he makes the calls, both girls have made other dates.
Production No. 16186 - "Beaver's Graduation"
Beaver and Gilbert decide to ditch English class, and Beaver is kind of slacking off, coasting to graduation.
Mrs. Rayburn sends Gilbert to her office with a note, and he and Beaver look for their diplomas in a stack of them in the vacant office--Beaver discovers his isn't there and assumes he's not graduating.
Ward advises Beaver to talk to Mrs.Rayburn, and finds out his diploma was set aside since he'll be part of the stage activities.
