Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jack is enraged to find that the A.P. Bio students have stolen his beloved Harvard pen after he asked them not to touch it; Principal Durbin and Helen repeatedly fail the superintendent’s inspections.
Our Take
A thin episode that leans too hard on one joke, and the Harvard pen bit runs out of gas well before the half-hour is up. The Durbin and Helen inspection subplot has a few decent moments but can’t carry the slack. Fine if you’re already watching the season, but skippable otherwise.
