The next morning, Matthew comes to the breakfast table where he finds Sweep studying for the first time! Sweep says he's a genius, but Matthew doesn't believe him. So to prove it, Matthew sets up his own version of 'Mastermind' with Sweep and Little Cousin Scampi going head to head although Matthew fixes the game so Scampi will win.
