Zack Morris is up to his usual scheming tactics as he decides to hatch a plan to get out of an upcoming history test. His latest scheme involves convincing Ms. Simpson, the substitute teacher for the class, that she's related to a famous historical figure and getting her sidetracked with family history during class time.
Meanwhile, Jesse Spano's passion for news reporting leads her to start a student-run news show, with the help of her friends Lisa Turtle and Kelly Kapowski. The trio work tirelessly to put together an impressive first broadcast, featuring stories on school events and sports.
As the day of the history test arrives, Zack puts his plan into action, but things quickly spiral out of control as Ms. Simpson begins to realize that she's been duped. Zack finds himself in hot water as Ms. Simpson catches him red-handed and threatens to tell the principal.
In the midst of the chaos, Jesse receives some news that threatens to derail her news show dreams, but with the support of her friends, she perseveres and delivers a memorable first broadcast that impresses the school community.
Ultimately, Zack learns a valuable lesson about the consequences of his actions, and Ms. Simpson proves to be a capable and dedicated teacher who inspires her students to do their best, even in the face of adversity. As the episode comes to a close, the group looks forward to what the future holds for their school experiences and the new opportunities that have opened up as a result of their latest adventures in high school.
