Reba is mad when Van and Cheyenne blow off a carrer fair for a concert. She tells the kids they have to find a carrer. Cheyenne goes to Brock and she decides that she wants to be a dentist. Reba doesn't think that she will be able to stick to it, so she has them see a carrer counseler. When the counseler tells Cheyenne that she can do it, Reba gets mad at the counceler and yells that Cheyenne can't be a dentist. Cheyenne hears her, and get mad. Later, when Reba sees how dedicated Cheyenne is to Elizabeth, she realizes she can do anything she sets her mind to, and supports her.moreless

- (about Cheyenne wanting to pursue a career in Dentistry)
  Brock: So what? You're saying that I'm a bad parent for encouraging our child's dreams. Is that it?
  Reba: Yeah. You're a bad parent. A good parent matches the dream to the child. So they won't get hurt or disappointed. Not every child can be an astronaut. (looks at Barbra Jean) Or jam seven plums into their mouth!
  Barbra Jean: Eggs! And it would've been eight, but I sneezed!

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Barbra Jean says that they could become the 4 out of 5 dentists that always recommend stuff. This is a nod to the commercials for the gum Trident. Many commercials over the years have used the slogan 'Recommended by 4 out of 5 dentists'.
  EDIT SHARE
- The title of this episode is an allusion to the 1972 novel, The Best and the Brightest. The Best and the Brightest is an account by journalist David Halberstam of the origins of the Vietnam War. The title may have come from a line by Percy Bysshe Shelley in his work To Jane: The Invitation, which was published in 1822.
