Plot Overview

Following a school camping trip with Coach McGuirk, Brendon ends up going out with school girl Loni. Loni doesn't get along with Jason or Melissa, is a horrible actress, and Brendon gets the idea that she's cheating on him with 4th grader Mitch.

On the same camping trip, Russian exchange student Eugene pees in Coach McGuirk's canteen as a prank. McGuirk ends up drinking it, and following some mocking from students and teachers, seeks revenge on Eugene.

Notes

Movie

  • Brendon makes a generic movie, when a detective (Brendon) seeks to save his girlfriend (Loni) from a cliche evil man (Jason). Melissa complains that Loni has stolen her usual part, and Jason doesn't care for her overacting.
  • Following his breakup with Loni, Brendon makes a "Casablanca" parody. Loni (played by Melissa) wants to stay with Brendon (Brendon), but Brendon rejects her and forces her to leave with Mitch (Jason). Her also offers her a drink, mixed up by Eugene.
