[edit] Plot
Drew sneaks into Mimi's carpool, and when she finds out she tries to evict him from the car. When she starts to speed, the police chase her, and she attempts to outrun them. Drew is late for lunch with Oswald, Kate, and Lewis since he and Mimi get arrested. Oswald tells Drew and the rest of the gang that their high school band teacher, Ms. Blankenship, has died. Drew seems to take the news especially hard compared to the rest of the group. Drew organizes the band to put together one last performance for her at her funeral, and almost gets in a fight when someone insults Ms. Blankenship. Lewis, Oswald, and Kate ask why Drew is so protective of Ms. Blankenship, and he reveals that he lost his virginity to her. When the group goes to the funeral at the school, Drew sees Ms. Blankenship's son which looks just like him. However, he soon learns that the teacher regularly seduced her male pupils so it is not his son. Afterwards, the group discusses their sex history, and Drew receives another shock when Kate and Oswald confess that they were each other's first in high school. Drew feels left out since he was unaware of these secrets. Kate tries to cheer him up by proposing that they should get married if they are both still single by a certain age (which Drew keeps trying to lower). At the end of the episode, Ms. Blankenship's son gives Drew a baton that shows how Ms. Blankenship thought that Drew was special. Just as he leaves, his backpack spills open and twenty other batons fall out.

[edit] Quotes
Drew: Ms. Blankenship died? Oh my God. What are we gonna do?
Lewis: Well, since we haven't perfected reanimation, I say we just let her be dead.
Principal Zand: She was, no doubt, in her classroom, toiling away, helping a student master his instrument. (Lewis, Kate and Oswald all laugh out loud and try to cover it up as crying.)
Kate: That's the most beautiful story of statutory rape I've ever heard.
