It’s Food Drive Month at Xavier Academy, and Gerry is determined to make sure he wins the prize for being the teacher with the class that contributes the most food. Robert and Bobbi are put at odds when the field hockey team and debate team are both counting on their star, Sheila, to attend practice at the same time.
When Gerry is asked to temporarily fill in for an absent phys-ed teacher, he aggressively pursues what he sees as an "audition" to make a permanent move into the gymnasium. Meanwhile, Robert wants to make sure everything is in order at Xavier when a journalist comes to write a story about the school.
After Gerry has a positive interview for a position with Xavier’s main rival school, he attempts to use it as leverage with Principal Callaghan for the phys-ed position he’s been dreaming of. When Callaghan encourages Robert to take a bigger leadership role, Robert decides an elaborate musical number will show everybody that he has what it takes.
Gerry hatches a new "get rich quick" scheme selling counterfeit One Direction merchandise when he finds out the band is in town. But making countless beaded bracelets at home is tedious work, and Gerry soon realizes he has a whole classroom full of potential unpaid labourers just waiting to be exploited.
Gerry and Simon are both assigned student teachers. Gerry is thrilled to have a minion picking up the slack, while Simon is anxious about the added responsibility. Gerry soon learns that his hands-off approach will not work, as his student teacher, Gloria, is terrified of the students and requires Gerry's presence at all times.
Gerry's been given another coaching assignment, but this time he's helping Ricki prepare for a fencing tournament, and he couldn't be less interested. In an effort to capitalize on Dwyer's recent divorce, Bobbi invites him over for dinner and attempts to seduce him the only way she knows how. Poorly.
When he attempts to reign in a bratty student, Gerry is faced with the wrath of his notoriously overprotective and obnoxious mother. Upon realizing that she has fallen into the role of staff "punching bag," Bobbi attempts to transfer the title onto another staff member. Meanwhile, Ricki sells pencils to Robert and drives a hard bargain.
Gerry is turning forty, and after finding a letter he wrote to himself ten years earlier, he becomes acutely aware of everything he has failed to accomplish. Meanwhile, Simon's ferret goes missing and Lisa wants to impress the chairman of the board of trustees by putting on an elaborate fun fair in his honour, which quickly devolves into a complete disaster.
Gerry takes on the senior girls' volleyball team. But when he realizes their semifinals will be interfering with his all-important social schedule, he sets out to sabotage them at the quarterfinals.
