Oh, excuse me. I'm
looking for Annie Henry.

Do you know where she is?

Oh, if my calculations
are correct,

she'll be out of the staff
meeting in a few minutes.

You look familiar.

You're on TV, right?

Mike Henry.
Stay informed.

I love that.

I've always wanted
a catchphrase.

I'd even settle for a nickname.

Well, I could
call you "champ."

Amazing!

You're a machine, Mike.

What are you doing here, honey?
You forgot your phone.

I would've called to tell you,
but you forgot your phone.

Good one, champ.
No, you're champ.

Well, I can see you've met Terry
McTavish, our new principal.

Yes, it's all my pleasure.

But I should go now.

It's my principle never
to overstay my welcome.

Could that be my catchphrase?

No.

It's probably
already been taken.

That's a fun guy.

Yeah, that's the problem, Mike,

fun doesn't necessarily
make a good principal.

He's like a crazed Willy Wonka.

What is wrong with Willy Wonka?

'Cause he let those kids die.

No, they disappeared.

Yeah, right into the chocolate river.
You don't survive that.

Dad, what are you doing here?

It's bad enough that
mom's here every day.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Do we embarrass you?

Constantly. Well, then
you'll love this.

Ugh.

Eve Henry's parents, everybody.

Whoo! Hi, guys.
How you doing?

Eve's mom. You guys know
that I'm a teacher here.

I'm Eve's mom.

Ripped By mstoll

Thanks for installing
this antivirus software,

even if the "virus" turned
out to be I dropped it.

It's good to have
the software anyway.

I used to get tons of viruses
from visiting websites that...

Were totally normal.

Oh, hey, Harris.

Hey, just bringing by some stuff

you left in my apartment when you
were, uh...

Cat-sitting for me.

Guys, you don't need
to tiptoe around me.

I'm a grown man.

I know you guys were doing it.

Sex.

Thanks.

Uh, where are my luna bars?

Uh, what, those
delicious energy bars

that are unfairly marketed
towards women?

I haven't seen 'em.

Ugh.

It's my book agent calling,
calling to talk about my book.

I'd love to go one day without
hearing about my book.

Me too.

Mane Attraction is an
erotic young adult novel

about Kristen
and her lover Jessup,

a boy who turns
into a horse at night,

currently being
shopped to publishers

both foreign and super foreign.

Go for Leigh. Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, is this about my book?

Because I am not happy.

Her horse book
sounds so ridiculous.

Oh, come on.
You don't know that.

Yeah, I do.
I'm reading it right now.

The bad guy owns a glue factory

and has poisoned
the city's hay supply.

That's it.
I'm printing one up.

Hey, you just can't
read that without asking.

That's an invasion of privacy.

Even the foreword is hilarious.

She says the details were,

"Ripped from her personal
sexual headlines."

Personal sexual headlines?

Print me one too. Oh, what
happened to "invasion of privacy"?

I gotta fact-check, man.

I've been misrepresented
in erotic fiction before.

Hmm.

Good news, Annie!

We've got big changes coming.

You're not gonna need

this very well-bound
garbage anymore.

Burn it later.

This is what we're teaching now.

The novelization of E. T.?

Mmm-hmm.
Mmm.

Well, Fahrenheit 451
is a classic.

It's totally unrelatable.

And E.T. is relatable?

They'll relate to
having seen the movie.

No, that's it.

You are doing
a disservice to the kids,

and I'm not gonna let you
continue to dumb things down.

You're right, Annie.

Why should I tell you
how to teach,

when I could tell you
what to teach?

You're demoting me
to health class?

Oh, it's not a demotion.

It's just a reduction
in status and title.

That's the definition
of a demotion.

Sounds like someone still thinks
she's an English teacher.

Robin?

You are teaching
senior English from now on.

English?
Mmm-hmm.

But I have my masters
in organic chemistry.

But you can leave the basement.

You forgot your purse.
Keep it. Whoo-hoo!

Okay, sport, remember,
if we break something

and your mom asks who did it...

It was Ian.

Your boyfriend demoted me.

Harris? I keep telling you,
he's a boy who's a friend.

No, McTavish.

He stuck me in health class.

Now, instead of
teaching literature,

I get to teach this.

Whoa.
Is that a sea monster?

I think somebody better
find another room.

Is that a sea monster?
Ugh.

I heard what happened, and
this is just an outrage, mom.

You should not stand for this.

Thanks, honey.

You know what you should do?

You should walk out of the doors

and never show your face
at my school again.

I mean... I mean, for
your own sense of pride.

Mmm-hmm.

I think somebody should find
their brother in the other room.

This sucks, Mike.

You know what they say,
"Those who can't do, teach.

"Those who can't teach,
teach gym.

"Those who can't teach gym
and not get all handsy,

"they teach health."

Look, I know you see
this as a setback right now,

but I see it as an opportunity.

I am great in these situations.

I mean, I don't wanna say
I invented optimism,

but let's just say
optimism was called,

"Sure, feel better, I guess,"
until I came around.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Mike sucks in these situations.

He doesn't understand that sometimes,
you just need to be upset.

You don't want your frown
turned upside down.

Let's get this guy
turned around.

Stop touching my...
Stop touching my...

Stop touching my face, please.

Okay, then at least let me
take this half empty glass

and replace it
with a half full one.

Because I am your...
Waiter at the pity party?

You've done
this bit before, Mike.

You were in labor. I didn't
think you'd remember.

Sometimes things
are just terrible.

For once, please,
just let me wallow.

Fine, wallow.
Wallow away.

I'll wallow with you.

Remember, just when things get
bad, that's when they get good.

Oh, my God.

This is an age
of acne, the cracked voice.

You guys, come on, eyes forward.

This is probably gonna be on a
test, at some point, I guess.

The only silver lining about
being stuck in this class

was being able to tell
Mike that he was wrong

about there being
a silver lining.

I started to feel
weird in my body.

Well, you should feel weird,
Dan, because you're, like, 35,

and you're playing a 14-year-old.

The adolescent boy
has other problems too,

which can be as disturbing
to him as his sex pressures.

Did they just do
a "boing" sound effect?

Is that what
it feels like, Eric?

Is that sound that happens
in your pants?

No? All right, we're gonna shut it off.
I'm done with this.

Okay, um, is it safe to assume

that you have learned nothing
of practical value in here?

Yes.
Okay, great.

You know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna
break some things down.

So the "mysterious urges"
that they're talking about?

That's called being horny.

Anybody got any
questions about that?

You have to tell your
boyfriend he's wrong.

You can definitely
get pregnant in a car.

But it's a Camry.
Especially then.

Camry's Japanese
for "baby."

Okay, anywhere from here

to here.

Whoo! Yes!

A new record
for pelvic assembly.

Yay!

Although, guys,
out in the field,

you're gonna wanna use
a more gentle touch.

Okay?

The optimistic jackass
was right, damn it.

God, I hate my
supportive husband.

Teaching English was great.

But with health class, I feel like
I'm making a real difference.

I mean, misusing a semi-colon
doesn't give you genital warts.

But misuse of a colon can.

Hey, somebody's happy.

Was I right about
things looking up?

Oh, no, Mike.
I was just smiling

because I was thinking about
my life before health class.

It was a wistful smile. Annie, you can
keep looking in that rearview mirror,

but you'll miss some
beautiful sights up ahead.

Yeah, or a stalled
gasoline truck.

Right here.

And I'm makin' s'mores.

Over a highly toxic gas fire.

You're gonna end up
in the hospital.

Where I'll meet
a really cute doctor.

Oh, okay. So you're
single in this scenario?

Well, you died.
You hit the gas truck.

Gotta quit looking
in the past, Annie.

Look to the future.

Your role-play
is getting super dark.

Oh, no. He's on another one
of his optimism kicks,

where he's so sure that everything's
gonna work out for the best.

If I let him know
that he's right,

I will never hear the end of it.

He's the king of smug.
Ugh.

When I moved to New York, he
said I couldn't afford it.

So for the last four years,
he's been paying for my rent

every single month, just
to rub it in my face.

Oh, hey, if you wanna start

paying your rent,
we're totally cool...

No, no, no. Let the
baby have his bottle.

Oh.

And we'll need to get
more cameras at that rally.

Make sure everybody
has a travel buddy.

Harris, we need to talk.

No, we need to learn
how to knock.

All right, stay focused, man.

Have you read
the horse book yet?

Horse book?
Horse book?

Don't waste my time
with that ridiculous...

Do you love it as much as I do?

Times a thousand.
But here's my question...

His arms become the back legs?

Yes, because the back legs

need the gripping
capabilities of arms.

Damn, man, her internal
logic is airtight.

I was reading it to see
if she wrote about me,

but then I realized
she's writing about humanity.

Horse-manity.

Ahh.

But I'm here because mine's
missing the final chapter.

Maybe you got it by accident.

Let me see.
Come on, come on.

I don't have it either.

I'll be back later.
Just do the news.

Move, man!

Count of three...

First thing that comes to
your head is our band's name.

One, two, three.

Tater tots.

I hate it.
Just the worst.

How about the Vas Deferens?

Yeah.
That's gross.

It's not gross,
it's the human body.

The only thing that's
gross is ignorance.

That's what your mom says.

Uh, wait, what?

Her health class is awesome.

Today she let us put different
synonyms for "sex" on the board,

like and
And.

She said your dad calls it
"storming the Kremlin."

She brought my dad into it?

Yeah, it's great to have such a
fulfilling, intimate relationship.

She told us that cuddling can be
just as erotic as sex sometimes.

Ooh, "Erotic Cuddling."

Could that be our band name?
Yes!

Let's go with that right now.
We found it.

We gotta write that down.
It's over.

Annie, you okay in there?

It had been a few days, but Annie
wasn't turning the corner on this.

If anything,
she was getting worse.

You've been in the bathtub for three hours.
That can't be healthy.

It's okay, Mike.

I'm a health teacher.

Well, look at you, knowing
all about health and stuff.

That's kind of like
a silver lining, isn't it?

Uh, I... I don't know.
Things are pretty bleak.

Oh, hey, could you pass the
scissors under the door?

Honey, I don't know if that's a good idea.
Just do it.

Hey, guys.

Enough of the small talk, Leigh.

Cut to the chase.
We read the book.

Are you serious?

That's a huge violation
of my privacy...

And we loved it.

Is what somebody with too
many boundaries would say.

Tell me more about this
"you loving it" part.

Not enough time.
We need that ending.

Well, I haven't exactly
finished it yet.

But I do know that
Jessup's gonna die.

No, you can't kill Jessup.

He has to end up with Kristen.

Jessup? Please.

I'm team Rowan.
Rowan?

He doesn't turn into anything.

Oh, so turning into
things is a requirement

for a great love interest now?

Are we just gonna pretend
that Mr. Darcy never existed?

All right, look, we can compromise.
We just need to think.

Okay.

We?

I know this whole thing is
gonna make your mom stronger,

it's just taking
forever for her to get there.

Don't you always say it's
darkest before the dawn?

Graham sucks
in these situations.

Yeah, it's just that I wish
dawn would happen faster.

Don't you always say
these things take time?

How can you remember
everything I say

and forget to wear
your underwear to school?

The thing is, it's one thing for me
to say things are gonna get better.

I have to actually
make them better.

I'm gonna go down there, and I'm
gonna get mom her old job back.

But when mom wanted her old job
back, you said she was wrong.

Graham, buddy, take the day off.

Hey, champ.
How's it going?

Mike, what a treat!

I'm just working on
tomorrow's announcements.

Here's what I have so far,

"Happy Thursday, students."

Tomorrow...
Tomorrow's Wednesday.

Well, that was
a waste of two hours.

Listen, what I wanted
to talk to you about was...

Well, let's do it on the move.

I'm gonna sit in on a class.

This is a class?

It fulfills a science and gym
requirement all at once.

Well, I gotta tell ya, Mr.
McTavish, this, uh, a genius idea.

Oh, yeah.

It was a terrible idea. But if I
was gonna get Annie's job back,

I had to humor this guy.

Let's move!

Well, as educational
as all this is,

I'm really here
to talk about Annie.

She belongs in English class.

I'm sorry.
Annie's staying put,

because she refuses
to get with the program.

Ah, behind you, 6:00.

Well, I'm worried your program
is bad for students. 8:00.

Do you know how hard it is
to keep a job as principal?

In this day in age, you have to

give the people what they want.

Well, I disagree...
Oh, 3:30.

Mike, the kids don't complain
because they're having fun.

The parents don't complain because their
children are getting good grades.

Everybody's happy,
except the blue squad.

Come with me.
I'm not gonna go...

Aah!

Don't judge me.

I've been a journalist
long enough to know

that war makes
monsters of us all.

But clearly, reason wasn't
gonna work with this nutbag.

I was gonna
have to do something big.

Why are you teaching
my friends about foreplay?

Because of you, my band is
now named "Erectile Tissue."

Oh, I'm sorry, honey. That was
just the unit that we were on.

But we're switching
to childbirth tomorrow.

Oh, well, that's better.

Hey, do you know where dad
keeps the video of your birth?

Hey, I hope that's
not my Emmy reel.

Nope.
Listen.

We gotta get mom
her old job back.

Now McTavish...
I'm in.

You don't know
what I was gonna say.

I'll do anything to get
mom out of health class.

That's sweet, honey.

Yeah, well, she is the woman
who gave birth to me,

and has proof.

McTavish thinks as long
as his students are happy,

he'll keep his job,
so we gotta prove to him

that the students are unhappy.

Oh, got it.
Twitter bomb him.

No, something real. Back in
the day, they'd do a walkout.

Dad, I appreciate
that you got women

the right to vote or whatever,

but that's not really
how things work now.

I found Ian's
birthing tape!

You can only see my face
for a few seconds at the end!

Your way's great.
Let's do your way.

Oh, she can't just go to
the prom with Jessup.

It's too obvious.

Okay, how about this?

She steps out the limo, grabs
her clutch, and sees...

Wait for it... Lionel.

Ooh.

Who the hell is Lionel?

Her new love interest.

Right when you least expect
it, he swoops in, literally.

He's a bird.

You just melted my brain.

Get it down.
Mmm-hmm.

A bird?
There can't be any birds.

It's already about a boy
who turns into a horse.

Fair point, but hear me out.

What if he's not a horse?
Pow.

I don't like it.
I love it.

What are you talking about?

That is the whole premise.

Aw, Leigh.
No!

This is why I haven't
finished the book.

What if I screw up the ending?

It's all people will remember.

Has Lost taught us nothing?

Well, I'm just glad that
John Locke came out on top.

He died.
What?

That was not clear.

You know what?
Just... Just...

Just finish it yourselves.

Wow. I didn't know
he died either.

So how do we do
this whole walkout thing?

Seriously? The instructions
are right there in the title.

You just stand on the table
and you rally your troops.

Um, I'm doing this so that I
won't be embarrassed anymore.

Fine, I'll do it.
Wait, that's worse.

Listen up, meerkats.
It's time to stand up

to principal McTavish
once and for all.

He demoted one of
your best teachers.

Are you gonna take that sitting
down, or you gonna join me?

Does that mean we have to
stand on the tables, too?

That doesn't look safe, dude.
No, it's a proverbial stand.

What does "proverbial" mean?

You seriously can't get
that with context clues?

Well, if you're with me, I'm
leading a walkout right now.

So who's with me?

You get to leave class
for the day.

Eh, I'll take it.

We need to get these guys going.
Let's start a chant.

I don't know if that'll work.

Any group, no matter how
apathetic they are,

will join in a chant.

Save Mrs. Henry!

Save Mrs. Henry!
Save Mrs. Henry!

So they'll say anything?

Broccoli grandma motorcycle!

Broccoli grandma motorcycle!

Broccoli grandma
motorcycle!

Broccoli grandma motorcycle!

What?
I... I'm drunk with power.

Mike, you're behind this, hmm?

So we're brothers on the
battlefield, but nowhere else, huh?

I'm just here to
take my daughter to lunch,

but clearly these people are
upset that Annie's been demoted.

This may even be a news story,

and you are familiar
with my catchphrase.

"Stay informed."
My God!

Just get them back inside.

If their parents
hear about this, I'm out.

So Annie gets her old job back?

Fine.

But I'm not caving
in to these outrageous

"broccoli grandma
motorcycle" demands!

Broccoli
grandma motorcycle!

And that is why male nipples
are not just aesthetic.

Now if...

Hey, what are you doing here?

Champ got your job back.

For the last time, you're champ.

You what?
Yeah, I lead a walkout.

The whole school was out
there, except this class.

What's going on?
We just wanted to stay.

You know what?
I think I do, too.

Are you serious? You know,
I climbed on a table.

Wait.

If you're teaching
sea monsters in here,

then what are they teaching
in sea monster class?

Peace offering?

Thanks.

Actually, the luna
bars are for m...

Okay, you can keep 'em.

Hey, I'm sorry we tried
to take over, Leigh.

It's only because we
love your story so much.

Honestly, I had never
been so passionate

about a book since
the novelization of E.T.

Well, I guess
I should thank you.

I realized that
nothing I came up with

could possibly be any worse
than your ideas.

And that inspired me to finish.

Ooh, cool, cool.

Uh, we'll read it later,
whenever we get a chance.

Oh, my God.
Rowan lost the amulet.

What?
Okay, give me that.

Sorry. No. Hey! Let me see that!

I'm sorry I faked being unhappy.
Are you mad?

Hey, you're happy, I'm happy.

I just wish
you would've told me sooner

so I wouldn't go
through all the effort.

Oh, yeah, 'cause I
should've assumed

that you would organize a
school-wide walkout on my behalf.

It was crazy.

You know what's crazier?

I abandoned my whole philosophy.

I was telling you not to worry

about what you couldn't control,

and I was trying
to control everything.

You know what, Mike?

You might see this as a setback,
but you know what I see?

Opportunity. Is that
what I sound like?

Gross.

Opportunity?

What, I should
"storm the Kremlin?"

Mmm.
Ahh.

We'll work our way
up to Red square.

Honey, I know it
makes you uncomfortable,

but I think I'm gonna stick
with health class, kiddo.

It's fine.
I'm over it.

I'm gonna go play
with Erectile Tissue.

Don't worry, it's just
the name of her band.

Still not okay with it.

For everything
that's taken away,

something
of greater value is given.

I don't understand.
There's no ending.

It's like a total cliffhanger.

Because it's gonna be a trilogy.

Oh, man.

I don't have time
for the three books.

I got a station to run.

You suffer the blow,
but you capitalize

on the opportunity in its wake.

That's pretty good.

Maybe I should write
a book on optimism.

You've always gotta
steal my thunder!
