When Mr. Kowchevski threatens to force Daniel to repeat Math class for another year if he doesn't pass an upcoming test, Lindsay offers to help him study for it. Instead, Lindsay finds herself helping Daniel to cheat. Sam begins finding himself confronted with matters of sex, which he does not understand how to confidently handle. Trying to help him, Daniel gives Sam a pornographic film. After viewing it, however, he only feels more uncomfortable.

The following scenes were edited out from the final cut of the episode, but can still be found on the series DVD.

  • A cut of Sam, Neal and Bill watching the porno. Martin Starr tries to make John Francis Daley laugh during the scene.
  • A female teacher approaching Bill the day after he views the pornography. Bill anxiously runs away from her.

[edit] Trivia

  • During the scene where the geeks are watching the porno, the actors were in actuality simply reacting to flashing lights. However, during the scene where Neal is observing the film in the school behind the stairwell, the film he is looking at is an actual pornographic film.
