Christie Stevens tells her stepson, Jay Romero, that responses to his college applications have arrived in the mail. He opens one, and finds that he has been accepted at a local college. Christie is emotional about Jay growing up, but happy that he'll be staying at home with her. Jay then opens the other letter, which is from a college in another country. It says that Jay has been accepted there as well. To Christie's horror, Jay decides that THIS is the college he wants to attend!
