Donna fills in for Lisa at a convenience store. A young boy is caught stealing a teddy bear for his brother's birthday, but Donna covers for him. Donna and Joe get lost and run out of gas. Isaiah, the boy Donna helped, gets them out of a possibly dangerous confrontation by inviting them to his apartment to call a tow truck. Donna discovers that the eleven year old and his younger siblings are left alone while their mom is at work. She expresses concern, but their mother comes home and tells her to butt out. Donna finds places for the kids in a day care center that works with her sorority. Brandon alienates Nat and Susan as he gets carried away during the After Dark's charity casino night. Valerie infuriates Kelly and David by outbidding Kelly for a portrait sitting with Colin. She explains that the portrait is a Christmas gift for David. Steve's father gets him a job at a talent agency. After Steve's boss is fired, she asks him to use his connections with the agency president to arrange a reinstatement.

Music:
Devil With the Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly by Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels
Tears on My Pillow by Little Anthony and the Imperials (edit) Toward the end of the episode, Brandon comes into the Peach Pit to apologize for Nat regarding his behavior at Casino Night. The song in the background playing is Tears on my Pillow. If you listen, the scene runs longer than the song, apparently, because the producers have put it on a loop and the last verse repeats itself. (edit) Lar Park Lincoln and Brian Austin Green were both cast members of the long running CBS soap Knots Landing.
Lar Park Lincoln played Linda Fairgate (1987, 1989-1991) and Brian Austin Green played Brian Cunningham (1986-1989). Though they never had any scenes together. (edit)

Brandon keeps talking about how he got in trouble betting on football games. That's not true. His trouble came in basketball. Steve constantly pointed out that it was a sucker's bet, but Brandon took it anyway.
