A student's mother is suspected of attacking a cheerleader. Carmen contends with a "bad boy" student who turns out to be more than he appears. Marilyn advises Steven to give his teachers more praise. One of Danny's students is electrocuted and thinks he's Jesus.
Tropes present in the episode:
- Cooldown Hug: Scott gives one to the cheerleader's mother after she breaks down.
- "Eureka!" Moment: Scott has one when he finds a strand of hair he initially believes to be Becky's.
- Napoleon Delusion: Peter Feldman is electrocuted and recovers thinking he's Jesus.
- Poor Communication Kills: Steven orders Carmen to back off of Jake but doesn't explain what's really going on until the end. Because of this, Carmen keeps on assuming that Jake is simply a troublemaker who's a bad influence on her prize pupil Jenn.
