- MacGyver is mentoring a troubled high school student who drops out of school to work at a construction site with his dad. While there, the kid discovers that the site may be unsafe when he witnesses a safety inspector being bribed.
- Students are dropping out of high school. The Phoenix Foundation has chosen a school with a high drop-out rate to test their pilot program for lowering the number of dropouts there. MacGyver gives a physics demonstration using Deron, a young Afro-American football player in high school. He's only interested in sports, but MacGyver tries to make him believe that by concentrating in studying, he could go way further than to Superbowl. Tony is another kid who doesn't bother to take part in science projects - he finds it much more stimulating to sabotage them. MacGyver sees hope for Tony and chooses him as a test subject in the program, but George Fraley, the toughest critic against soft methods on problem youth, thinks Tony is a lost cause. The program requires two positive role models for the subject: one teacher and one outside volunteer. MacGyver nominates himself and Fraley. Tony's dad is a workman at a construction site where the project is two weeks behind schedule. The project manager gives the foreman the order to "be creative". Could the plots for Tony's school and his father's construction site possibly converge?—Toni Tapola, Finland
- MacGyver is trying out a new program the Foundation is implementing to help lower the dropout rate in inner city schools. MacGyver visits one and when he sees Tony Milani, a brilliant student with a serious attitude problem, he thinks he would a perfect candidate for the program. Tony's father who is fed up with his misbehavior, tells him to either shape up or get a job. When things don't work out with Tony, he goes to work at the construction company where his father works. While there, Tony notices some stuff going on that's criminal and finds a memo that tells of what is happening. Tony gives it to his father who in turn gives it to his boss, making Tony think his father is implicit. But Mac sets him straight, that his father has been keeping a different secret from him.—rcs0411@yahoo.com
- Peter presents and Mac volunteered to execute a Phoenix program to prevent troublesome kids joining the too numerous high-school dropouts from an underfunded public school. Only Mac sees the potential in smart Tony Milani, who seems to sabotage classes but wrestles with an non-supportive construction laborer father feeling he should join the firm. While Mac, who chose most cynical teacher George Fraley as co-mentor, gets Tony's suspension suspended, the knave stumbles upon his father Nick's boss and foreman bribing an inspector to allow crazy safety risks, leading to a crash that nearly crushes Nick. Tony, who fears his dad is an accomplice, and Mac, who guesses Nick suffers from dyslexia, save even burnt evidence to corner the crooks and rescue Tony's academic future.—KGF Vissers
