 John-Boy gives Grandma a lift so she can visit Maggie, an elderly neighbor who is not feeling well. Maggie asks John-Boy to fix her car, which he does. She is planning a trip to visit the sea, and relive memories of her long-dead husband on their anniversary. In poor health, Maggie is determined, but may need John-Boy to drive her. This would mean he had to give up his date with Marcia for the school dance, since Maggie s anniversary is the same day, and she knows she probably won t live to see another one.
