Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Jack puts his students on a new Miles revenge mission. At the same time, Helen, Principal Durbin’s upbeat secretary, relentlessly tries to get Jack to make something for the annual bake sale.

Our Take

The Miles storyline gets recycled again with only minor variations, and the jokes about Jack’s laziness are starting to feel like the show running out the clock. Helen’s bake sale pestering has a few good moments though, mostly thanks to the delivery. A middling episode that coasts on the cast’s charm more than the writing.
