Go To

Steve is accused of blowing up the science lab and risks expulsion unless Laura can prove his innocence.

Episode Tropes:

  • Almighty Janitor: The school janitor is an actually pretty good singer and knows a bit about chemistry as Steve consulted him.
  • Aww Look They Really Do Love Each Other: Two of the best examples from the show:
    • Laura spares little hesitation to defend Steve with her only concern being how the other students will feel about her ruining the party planned for Steve's expulsion.
    • Carl, with no complaint, defends Steve insisting that Steve would've admitted to the explosion had he done it.
  • Mundane Utility: The reason the janitor didn't admit to using Steve's Bunsen burner to toast his grilled cheese sandwich is that he was scared if he admitted to it, he'd be wrongly blamed.
  • Pet the Dog: Despite not liking Steve, the janitor allows Steve to sing along with him in The Stinger.
  • Taking the Heat: Myra nobly tries to accept responsibility for the explosion despite not going to the same school as Steve, Steve graciously talks her out of it.
