Synopsis
After beating up a seven-year-old, Alex can't get over his guilt. To overcome it, he joins the Chairty Race, which Mrs. Troiani hosts.

Story
While playing catch with Danny, he throws the ball to hard that Alex could not catch it. James mocks Alex when he says "Lose your ball-y baby?". He keeps mocking him until Alex says "De gustibus non est disputandum", which James calls Alex stinky. At the Martinez house, Christian is dragged inside after falling off the big tree. Vince, outraged about it, cuts it down.

At lunch on "Pizza Day", James cuts in front of Alex and takes the last two pieces of Pizza. Meghann Odum, the lunch lady, serves Goulash since they're all out of Pizza. James still teases Alex when he eats near Alex when he has pizza, and Alex does not. This prompts Alex to get physical on James. After the fight, Mrs. Kathy Esposito, the school nurse, tells Alex that James is only seven years old. Alex protests, saying that he's bigger than Alex. She adds that James is in Second Grade. Mrs. Troiani, Alex's Krelboyne teacher, comes in and is shocked to see that Alex is inside the Nurse's office. She supports Alex saying that it's not his fault. Alex tries to apologize, but Esposito says that Alex has done enough, and closes the curtains on him.

After school, Alex, Elisa, and Christian see dad cutting down the tree. At dinner, Alex's theory is not believed by his family since they were laughing about it. The neighbors, even Mr. Fucci, are alienated since they can see the house.

At the offices of Espinoza, Sheehey, Mr. Flentye, and Mrs. Troiani, Alex talks to them about getting rid of his guilt. In class the next day, Alex decides to join the charity race to end Childhood Leukemia. While planting the new tree, Randy Harris, James' father, comes and pokes Vince for the sake of it. At the charity race, Vince is heard regretting about beating Randy up, and that he didn't know about Randy's real age. Mrs. Troiani collects the pledges. Shocked about Alex's pledges, she tells Vince and Lorna that if Alex runs the distance, then $8,000 will be raised. During the race, Alex trips and falls.

In the bathroom, Alex's conscience has the best of him. Mom was cleaning up Alex's wounds from earlier today.
