Mr. D Season 2 Episode 6, titled "The Other Woman," revolves around the central character of Mr. Gerry Duncan, a high school teacher who thinks he is the coolest and funniest teacher at Xavier Academy. In this episode, Gerry faces an unexpected hurdle when Lisa (Megan Park), his girlfriend, informs him that she cannot come to their date night because she has to attend a work conference on a weekend. Gerry is disappointed because he had been planning this date for a long time and had dreamt of spending quality time with Lisa.
Gerry, being Gerry, tries to move on quickly and seek companionship elsewhere. He convinces his colleague Lisa Mason (Kristin Booth) to come to the basketball game with him, assuring her that Lisa won't mind. Things, however, get complicated when Lisa discovers Gerry's true intentions and begins to feel uncomfortable sitting beside him at the game. As a result, Gerry feels even more disgruntled about the whole situation.
Meanwhile, the students at Xavier Academy prepare for a school play, which is being directed by Trudy (Lauren Hammersley).

This decision turns out to be a mistake as Gerry's lack of experience in theatre causes confusion and chaos.

The students at Xavier Academy enjoy Gerry's unconventional teaching style, but parents often complain about his unprofessionalism, which could put Gerry's job on the line.
