Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Senor Chang is on the hunt for a cheater and threatens to fail the entire class if the culprit doesn’t come forward. When someone confesses, Jeff comes to their defense. Meanwhile, Annie recruits Pierce to write the new school song.

Our Take

A middling episode saved by its B-plot. The Spanish cheating mystery never builds much steam, and Chang works better in small doses than as the whole engine. Pierce and Annie’s school song stuff is where the real laughs live, especially once his ego takes over. Fine for a weeknight, but you won’t miss much if you skip it.
