Brooklyn-born Gabe Kotter returns to his old high school, but this time as a teacher. He's put in charge of a class full of unruly remedial students called the Sweathogs.

When Julie sets up a program of physical exams at Buchanan, they find Gabe to be their biggest obstacle.

Much to Julie's dismay, her sister visiting from Nebraska starts dating Epstein.

Barbarino is the only one without a date for the school dance.

The Sweathogs give a new student teacher the treatment.
