 Greg and Marcia - in their mid- to late-teens and frustrated by sharing a room with younger siblings - each want to convert the attic into their own room. So, Greg asks Mike for permission, and Marcia does the same with Carol. Without consulting the other, each one says yes, causing a whole lot of confusion and anger between Greg and Marcia. Eventually, Marcia comes to her senses and - realizing she will get to live in the attic after Greg leaves for college - lets Greg have the room.
