Jack is the complete social opposite of big sister Lucy, having an artistic yet rebellious attitude to life and claiming that teenagers need to fight the system.

As a punishment, her parents decide to enroll her in bi-weekly art classes at local artist Susan Boone's studio.

Offended, Sam decides to skip the next class choosing to occupy her time at the nearby Capitol Cookies and Static (a record store).

While she is waiting for her housekeeper to pick up from art class, she notices a man she saw earlier at Static who was listening to Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl".

The man turns out to be an assassin and as he takes a gun to shoot the President who is exiting Capitol Cookies, Sam jumps on him and causes him to misfire.
