Boone is dumbstruck by what he finds at Gamaliel's house. He gets a letter from his mother with devastating news, and confides further in Nancy.
Nancy fills Boone in on the latest school gossip about a hated teacher, and Boone tells Nancy about the stash of shine (and immediately wonders if that was a huge mistake).
Gamaliel's daughter asks Boone to watch the house while the old man is in the hospital for some routine tests; Gamaliel cautions Boone about keeping their project secure.
Boone goes back to school (in a way), and ends up on a first-name basis with Mr. Everett.
