Fisher is enraged by Grant’s unorthodox teaching methods. A couple of crooks take Adam for a ride.
Extended Summary
Adam asks Martin to get hold of Lance’ s car to show to the interested buyer. Martin agrees to lend Lance’s car to help Adam. Martin is in on the idea as Adam offered him 100 bucks for it.
Martin talks Lance into lending him his car.
Grant continues to teach his class in his own special way of teaching. Fisher talks to Grant about it again.
Lance sees the ad of his car in the newspaper. He notices the price is $1,500 higher than he was to sell it for. He also sees that it isn’t his phone number at bottom of the ad. Lance is annoyed.
Betty rents the documentary video from at the shop to support the Africa Awareness Week. She doesn’t know it actually is an X-rated porn video since it is still kept a secret by those who know what kind of video it is.
After she has rented the video, Matt tells Alf about the mistake of the wrong video in the wrong cover. Alf laughs and think it is funny.
Lance phones the newspaper about the mistakes in his ad. Lance says he won’t pay for it since it is wrong number and higher price than he originally put in the ad.
Lance does a check and phones the number written in his ad to explain about the mistake. Adam notices it is Lance who is calling. Adam pretends to be Japanese and fakes his voice so Lance won’t recognise him.
Grant teaches in a more normal way now and the students are very bored during a history class. Grant decides that they should act as actors sort of to play out the history event in the text as instead of just reading about it. His idea is to get the students more interested in it than just reading about it.
They do acting of the history events and pretend to be fighting with mops and other accessories!
Fisher walks in as the whole class is split in two, pretending to be in a battlefield as in some historical event. Fisher gets very, very angry!
Fisher yells at Grant in his office. Grant again tries to make Fisher see that his methods do really work and that the students learn a lot more by having some fun too.
Fisher won’t tolerate it and gives Grant a serious warning to start behaving properly as a teacher.
The interested buyers of Lance’s car, a man and a woman, take the car out for a test drive with Adam after a long wait as it took Martin some time to get the car there.
Grant talks to Bobby about his problems as a teacher because of Fisher. Bobby tries to convince Grant that Fisher isn’t really that bad. Bobby wants Grant to meet Fisher outside school and see how he is as a person and not just a headmaster. Bobby invites Grant over to dinner at Fisher’s house. He isn’t so keen on the idea.
During the test drive in Lance’s car, the couple act as if they hear some noise from the car. They stop the car and Adam goes outside to check on it. The couple drives off and steal the car! Adam is very angry.
