Double Date
Summary: After Brutus walks through Mr. Evictus' fresh pavement, he threatens to evict the family. Precocia laments that she won't be able to wear her mini-toga to the prom, which reminds Evictus that his daughter Snobbia doesn't have a date for the prom yet. He makes a deal that if Gus can find her a date, he won't evict them. Happius and Groovia canvas the town, but none of their friends can stand Snobbia. Gus calls his nephew Clodius, whom he hasn't seen in years. When the hayseed boy comes to the city from his farm, they fear Snobbia won't like him, so Hap and Groovia get Gus some mod clothes and a wig and dress him as a teenager. At the dance, the ruse is revealed, but Snobbia meets Clodius and really digs him, so the day is saved.
