Ep 4. Exam Week

In the fourth episode of Mr. D's first season titled "Exam Week," the students and teachers at Xavier Academy are all preparing for exam week, which means stress levels are high. Gerry Duncan (played by Gerry Dee), the school's hapless and often clueless history teacher, is trying to keep his students motivated despite their lack of interest in his subject matter. Meanwhile, Gerry's colleague and crush Lisa Mason (played by Lauren Hammersley) is dealing with the aftermath of a bad breakup and trying to avoid her ex, the school's guidance counselor.

As exam week approaches, Gerry starts to feel the pressure when he realizes that he hasn't been adequately preparing his students for the upcoming tests. Determined to turn things around, he decides to implement some unconventional teaching methods, including rapping about history and bribing his students with prizes. While his antics help to initially motivate his students, things quickly spiral out of control when he promises to take his entire class to a Raptors game if they all pass their exam.

Meanwhile, Lisa is struggling to keep her personal life separate from her work life. When her ex shows up at school just as she is starting a new relationship with another teacher, tensions run high. Despite her attempts to avoid him, Lisa's ex continues to pop up throughout the episode, adding to her stress levels.

As exam week draws to a close, Gerry's students are feeling confident about their chances, thanks in large part to his unusual approach to teaching. However, when he discovers that one of his students cheated on the exam, he is faced with a difficult decision. Should he report the cheating and risk ruining the student's future, or should he let it slide and risk compromising the integrity of the exam?

Overall, "Exam Week" is a hilarious and relatable episode of Mr. D that highlights the pressures and stresses that come with exam season. Through Gerry's antics and Lisa's personal struggles, viewers are reminded of the importance of maintaining a balance between work and personal life, and the importance of integrity in all aspects of life.
