When two students in Declan's anthropology class exhibit uncanny similarities, Declan becomes curious when both adopted young men turn out to share the same birth date, the same mannerisms, tastes, and test answers, but a blood test determines that they aren't related.

When one of them becomes ill, the mystery of what brought them together intensifies. Meanwhile, Declan and Peggy discover they share a common bond as well.

    Declan: I can't believe it. You know, I really wanted to get to know you.
    Peggy: Really?
    Declan: Yeah, in fact I was even planning on asking you out.
    Peggy: Oh, really?
    Declan: You know it took me two weeks to finally get up the nerve to sit next to you in class?
    Peggy: You were the guy who wore those big thick glasses!
    Declan: Yeah, that was me. I even changed my socks for you.
    Peggy: Ah, nice.
    Declan: And then you split, you disappeared.
    Peggy: Yeah I dropped out, my brother got ill so I enrolled in the University of Pennsylvania. Changed majors.

    Both: (Simultaneously) Wow.
    Declan: Don't tell me, separated at birth, you and me. []
  • Peggy: Declan, did you go to Grand Oaks Community College?
    Declan: You bet. Two proud years as a fighting ferret.
    Peggy: Dr. Hess, (in a deeper voice) Dr. Hess.
    Declan: Dr. Hess.
    Peggy: He taught there didn't he?
    Declan: Yeah, why?
    Peggy: The other day when you mentioned him, it triggered a memory; the name, the accent. I went to Grand Oaks Community College.
    Declan: Oh yeah?
    Peggy: And I took a class with Dr. Hess, but I was there only a few weeks. I'd completely forgotten.
    Declan: Fall of '84?
    Peggy: Yep.
    Declan: Your hair was shorter. You sat in the front row and you always argued with me! You were a real pain in the ass! []
