Heading to Peavey’s drugstore, Gildy wants the best cigars available. Will there be any competition for the job with Humpstone? More than Gildy expected. It’s off to the factory to make as good of an impression as he can.

Now its up to Gildy to decide. A trip to the library to read up on hydraulics may help. A chance meeting with Eve Goodwin is the thing Gildy needs to get caught up with her. Her advice sways him to pick the right career direction, although his oblivious word choice may keep him on the outs with her.
