Chapter Seventy
A student-slapping jeopardizes Marla's job; the undercover drug operative at Winslow unwittingly imperils the teen he's using in a sting; a comeuppance ruffles Hanson, reminding him of parental obligations. Jenn: Lyndsy Fonseca. Claire: Missy Yager. Jake: Milo Ventimiglia. Lettie: Khanya Mkhize.

]I kept wondering though...lemme get this straight: A ho smacks Marla. Marla smacks her back. Marla gets suspended. The ho doesn't.
Makes sense...
.Oh well. Whatever. Good to see Claire again. Let's hope we see some more of her too. Though, I didn't care too much for Danny's conversation with "God"...but I am glad to see that plotline wasn't casually thrown away after Jesus' beating [even if I don't care for it..].

I'm glad they brought Danny's hot wife back. I figured for how screwed up this show is they'd just forget about her.
Danny and Harvey are the only reason to watch this show, other then Jeri Ryan and Carmen.
Carmen still annoyes me.
The undercover cop thing is just stupid. How dumb do you have to be to leave your jacket, with drugs in the pocket, on a table during a party while you go snooping around. You knew as soon as they showed the pill bottle the chick was going to OD.

Chapter 70
Marla gets slapped after reading the riot act to a disrespectful student using her physical charms to attract attention, and then Marla slaps the student right back. Marla gets suspended and has to find out what she values more: her job and self esteem, or her students.
Jake's undercover stint goes bad after befriending a dealer's sister, gets invited to the dealer's party, and the sister does the stupid thing, taking pills found in Jake's coat (why is Jake walking around with drugs in his coat pocket, I know, street cred, blah blah). Jake's attempts at hitting on Carmen are being stonewalled by Carmen.
Danny's attitude towards things is rubbing off on his niece, and she's acting belligerent and bully-like in school. Finally Danny is convinced both the student who got zapped and thinks he's Jesus Christ, and by the wife (yay, she makes an appearance) that he needs to be a better, less bitter person for his niece's sake so she can hold on to the innocence of childhood and have better memories to draw from later.
Overall, a so-so episode.

Except for Danny's coversation with Jesus, the show isn't as over the top as it has been so far this season. I thought it was funny that as soon as Steven said that the school doesn't encourage or condone teachers having relationships with other teachers, in walks his girlfriend.
Why doesn't this school have any ugly students? I remember when I went to high school, you couldn't swing a dead cat without hitting some victim of puberty's cruelty. Not myself, of course. I was always a stud.
Honk!

Harper seemed to have forgotten his demonstration of human javelin in the first season when he slammed a student up against the wall.
This show has jumped the shark and been gutted revealing the interior of a 76 VW Bug. Someone put it out of its misery.
