Scott goes on the warpath after Meredith's hook is stolen. Danny's well-intentioned advice lands Brooke in trouble with her parents. Ronnie helps a student charged with statutory rape.
Tropes present in the episode:
- Adults Are Useless: Lampshaded by Harry, who remarks to Ronnie that sometimes parents can be the enemy even they're not always.
- Hypocrite: Louanna's earlier complaint with her ex-husband being absent at home loses a lot of credibility when it comes out she was out of town on business.
- Threaten All to Find One: After Scott finds Meredith's hook, he storms into Meredith's class and orders all of the students there to stand up. He then singles out a handful of likely suspects and vows to find the culprit.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Steven chastises Danny for recommending drug testing kits to his students, specifically Brooke.
