Plot[]
The video starts at Y U DUMB? Elementary School, where Junior says he hates having to come to school. Penelope gets Junior's attention as she says "Junior, do you know what this Saturday is?", which Junior answers with "The Weekend". Penelope says yes as she then says "But what's special about this Saturday Junior?", which Junior says they don't have school, which Joseph likes that as he says "Hell yeah dude" as Penelope then asks Junior if he knows why this Saturday the 29th is special. Junior thinks and asks Cody and Joseph to help him out, which Cody says Saturday is when he clips his his mom's toenails. This disgusts Joseph as he says "Ew!" as Cody then says he doesn't know why Penelope would be excited about that. Junior asks Cody why does he clip his mom's toenails, which Cody says it's part of his chores and if he doesn't do it, he's a "bad piggy" and he has to stay in the "bad piggy closet". Joseph says "The bad piggy closet?", which Cody says yeah, and he doesn't like being in there as Junior then tells Penelope he gives up and asks "What's this Saturday?". Penelope tells Junior it's their 20-Month anniversary, which Cody asks Junior how could he forget while Joseph says "Wow, what a bad boyfriend" as Penelope then says everyone knows if you make it to the 20-Month anniversary, they're basically married, and everyone wants to make it to the 20th, which Joseph says "Oh damn" while Junior says he did not know about the thing. Penelope then asks Junior what did he get her, which Junior says a high five, only for Penelope to call him the "worst boyfriend ever" as she then puts her head down. Junior asks if they can discuss after school, but Penelope says "Ugh!" as she then puts her head back down. Cody then tells Junior not to look at him and all he can say is he's glad he's "straight as a wet noodle" as Jackie Chu then tells the class that this week, they're going to be having a Substitute Teacher because he's going to get an eyelid life to finally see a thin as he then says their Substitute Teacher is going to be Brad. Brad walks in, saying hey to the class and introducing himself. Jackie Chu hears the silence in the class, which he asks where's the hospitality and tells the class to say Hi to Brad, which everyone does so as Penelope starts crushing over Brad. Jackie Chu then tells the class that Brad's going to be their Teacher for the week, and the next time they see him, he'll be able to see them as he then leaves. Brad then tells the class it'll be fun if they all went around the class, and everybody tells him their names as he looks at Penelope, saying "Let's start with you redhead chick". Penelope, still crushing over Brad, saying "Whatever you want it to be", but Junior says her name is Penelope. Brad says it's a pretty name as it's his mom's name as he then asks who wants to go next, but then says that's it for names as he claims it's going to take a long time and he doesn't have time for that, and if he wants to talk to them, he'll just point at them as he then says he's only going to be here for a week. Penelope gets excited as she says "Oh wow, a man that knows what he wants, a man that doesn't want his time wasted" as Cody then asks Brad what are they going to learn today. Brad says he's not good at the "teaching thing" as he says he thinks they should do a spelling test as he instructs the class to get out a piece of paper and try to spell all the words he says. The video then cuts to the class, getting out a piece of paper, which Penelope says "Anything for you Brad". Junior asks why's she's talking "like that", which Penelope tells Junior she's listening to the Teacher and she's following the rules as she tells Junior to shush, which Joseph makes a comment as Brad starts the spelling test, which he says the first word to spell is "Cool", which he says "I'll use it in a sentence" Brad is cool", which the class proceeds to write it down, except for Penelope, who writes down "Hot". Brad then says the next word, being "Bodacious", which he says it's like the babes he get at the beach. This disappoints Cody as he says "Aw man, he's into girls" as he and everyone else writes the word down, except for Penelope, who writes down "Handsome". Junior looks over Penelope's paper and tells Penelope that the word was "Bodacious", but Penelope tells Junior to shush as Brad then says the next work, being "Maldives", which he says it's where the best waves are. He then says "I'll use it in a sentence" Cats go Maldives". Cody says it's not even the correct use of the word while Junior says he thinks he spelt it correctly. Brad then says that's all the words he knows as he then instructs the class to hand in their papers, and he'll tell them how they did. Junior says he definitely thinks he spelled all the words right, which Cody says "Yeah me too" while Joseph says "One right" as Junior looks at Penelope's paper, which Junior tells Penelope she didn't even spell any of the words right, but Penelope says she thinks she spelled every single word right. Junior says "Those weren't even the words" as he and Penelope then leaves their desks to go turn their papers in.
At Brad's desk, Junior, Joseph, and Cody turn their papers in, which Cody says "Here you go Bradley, nice hair", which Brad thanks Cody as Penelope then turns her paper in, which Penelope says she wrote in sharpie because she's "that confident". Brad looks at Penelope's paper and says they are not the words he said at all. Penelope asks if she spelled them wrong, which Brady says no, she just wrote different words that perfectly describes him as Penelope asks if it wasn't the assignment, which Brad says it really wasn't, and he thinks she might need some tutoring. Penelope agrees, saying "Me too!", which Brad tells Penelope to come before school tomorrow, which Penelope says she'll get up at 4 AM, but Brad says school doesn't start that early and just be there by 7. Penelope excitedly says "Ok, it's a date" as she leaves while Brad says "No, it's really not, you're a child". The video then cuts to Penelope, telling Junior, Joseph, and Cody that Brad thinks she's super special and he wants to teach her one-on-one in the morning, which Joseph says "Sure he does" while Cody says it's not fair as he then says "Hey Brad, I'm stupid too, help me out". Penelope tells Cody to back of as she says "He's mine", but Junior asks if she has a crush on the Substitute Teacher, which Penelope denies it, saying it's totally weird and he's 25 unless he thinks he likes her, but then says that's weird because he could go to jail as she then says "He could go to jail for me", which Penelope asks if he would as she then says "He's such a bad boy". Brad then tosses the papers over himself as he says it looked like everybody did okay on their test as he then tells everyone to pull out their lunch and eat it as it's lunch time. Junior says he brought a Macaroni and Cheese cup as he says "Do you think the Teacher will let me use the microwave in the Teacher's Lounge?", which Penelope says he could have Brad touch it and that would heat it up. Junior asks Cody and Joseph if she's calling the Teacher "hot", which Cody says she is as Cody then says he brought an entire box of Captain Crunch, but no milk or bowl, meaning he's just going to have to eat it dry. Joseph see's Cody's Captain Crunch and says "Hey, let me get a little bit of that Captain Crunch", which Cody says "Ok" as Junior asks Penelope what she brought for lunch, which Penelope says she brought a Ham and Cheese sandwich, but wishes that it was a "Brad and Cheese" sandwich. Junior tells Cody and Joseph that's weird and she's saying weird things as the video shows Brad, eating a Protein Bar, which he says it tastes bad as he puts it down, saying he guess he's just going to go hungry. Junior says he doesn't have any water as he asks Penelope if he can have half of her sandwich, but Penelope says "Oh no! Brad! He's hungry" as he tells Brad he can have half of her sandwich as she brings it to Brad, but Brad says it's fine, he's trying to keep his six-pack, and he can't have any carbs, which Penelope says it's low-carb bread and gluten-free. Brad says he guess he can have some as he takes half of Penelope's sandwich and takes a bite, which Brad likes it as he says it's pretty good. Brad then says "You know, the best part is the meat between the bread, I mean the bread". This excites Penelope as she goes back to her desk, screaming in joy as Cody says "Okay, that sentence is pretty gay, right guys? He said meat between his brad like a wiener in his butt" as he then says he has a chance. Penelope then tells Junior, Cody, and Joseph that Brad liked her cooking, and she could cook for him every single night like a 1950s household. Joseph says "Didn't guys beat their wives back then? And like leave the house, they had too many children" while Junior tells Penelope she gave him her whole sandwich, which Penelope says she did because Brad was hungry, and he can't be hungry because he's their teacher, and if he's hungry, he can't teach them. Junior says he's hungry and she didn't give him any of her sandwich, which Penelope apologizes as Brad then finishes eating the sandwich, which he says "Hey, I'm full, do you want the rest of this", which Penelope says no, and he can keep it. Brad says "Oh ok, well I'm just going to throw it away then" as he throws the sandwich over himself. This makes Junior upset as he says he could of ate that as Penelope then says "He's so dreamy". Brad then tells the class that since lunch is over, he's kind of tired so he's going to take a nap, but while he does that, they are going to pull out a piece of paper and draw a picture of what they want to do on Spring Break since it's coming up, which he says the student with the best drawing gets a piece of chalk. This makes Penelope happy as she says she would cherish the piece of chalk forever, meanwhile, Junior tells Cody and Joseph that they have to draw something so good that they win because he doesn't want Penelope to get the piece of chalk. Joseph says "Oh, no problem dude, we got this", which Junior agrees as they then start drawing.
At Brad's desk, Penelope walks up, holding her drawing, which Penelope says "Oh my god, he's so cute when he sleeps" as she then wakes up Brad to tell him that she finished her drawing of what she wants to do over Spring Break as she shows Brad the drawing. Brad looks over and asks what is it, which Penelope explains that it's a drawing of them, holding hands, which she says she made sure to draw his six-pack as he mentioned he had a six-pack. Brad says "Mrs. Penelope Brad?", which Penelope says she didn't know his last name, so she improvised. Brad then asks why she's saying "I do" and what did she do, which Penelope says it was in case he happened to ask her to marry him. Brad says it's weird as Penelope leaves, telling Brad he can keep it, and she'll go sit down. Brad then tosses the drawing over himself as he tells the class to turn in their drawing. Penelope tells Junior, Joseph, and Cody that she doesn't mean to brag, but she's definitely winning the piece of chalk. Junioe asks what she drew, which Penelope saying "Nothing!" as Junior, Joseph, and Cody then leave their desks. Back at Brad's desk, Junior turns his drawing in to Brad, which Brad asks if it's him riding a T-Rex, which Junior says it is as Brad says "That's badass man". Junior thanks Brad as he leaves as Joseph then turns his drawing in, which Brad asks "What is this?". Joseph says the drawing is him, playing with LeBron James, which Brad says "I'm more of an MJ fan", which Joseph doesn't like that comment as he leaves as Cody then turns his drawing in, saying he thinks his speaks for itself and he said it's what he wanted to do on Spring Break and he then leaves, laughing. Brad looks over the drawings and says Junior wins the chalk as he then tosses the piece of chalk to Junior. Penelope begs Junior to give her the piece of chalk, saying she'll do anything, but Junior asks if he asked her for half her sandwich, and she gave it to Brad to throw it at a wall, which Penelope tells Junior she doesn't want to hear it because he owes her a 20-Month anniversary gift anyways as she then says "So just give me the chalk". Junior then tells Penelope how about she go ask Brad for his chalk, but take away the H, the L, replace the A with an O, and then add a C after the O, which Cody says "Ohhhh" as Brad says it's the end of the day, and their homework is to look at the stars as he then goes on an explanation that goes on for some time. After the explanation, Penelope says he just basically said he's going to talk to her through the stars. Cody says that's not what he got out of that as Penelope then says Brad is so poetic. Junior tells Penelope she's his girlfriend as Brad then leaves, saying "See you guys tomorrow, and I'll see you early Penelope". Penelope leaves, screaming in excitement and saying "Yes he will". The video then cuts to the Red Couch, where Junior asks Joseph and Cody if it's weird that Penelope has a crush on their Substitute Teacher, but Cody says he has a crush on their Substitute Teacher and it's not weird at all. Junior says Brad's an adult, they're children, but Cody says he's 17 and has done some stuff he probably shouldn't have as he says "I mean, I've been with your dad and Chef Pee Pee, although it wasn't really my body, I mean, you and Joseph gave me a blumpkin about a month ago, but you don't remember cuz of magic". This shocks Joseph and Junior as Penelope comes in, asking them if they know what's the weather like in August in The Maldives. Cody says he doesn't, which Penelope says that's where she wants to get married to Brad at, and she didn't know if it would rain at that time of the year, even thought it would be so "hot" for her to kiss Brad in the rain. Cody says "She is being weird, I'm on your side now" as Junior then says "Penelope, you're dating me okay, you can't date Brad, he's an adult, I'm your boyfriend", causing Penelope to sigh as she then leaves.
Back at Y U DUMB? Elementary School, Penelope says "Hey Brad" as she puts a vase of flowers on Brad's desk. Brad asks "What's all this?", which Penelope says she brought him some flowers, and she brought him an Apple because he's a Teacher as she then puts an Apple on Brad's desk. Penelope then says she made a trophy for him that says "World's Best Substitute Teacher", and a card as she then placed then down on Brad's desk. Brad opens up Penelope's card and starts reading it out loud. After Brad finishes reading the card, Penelope says "It's true", but Brad says it's weird, which confuses Penelope as she says "Huh?", which Brad explains that he's 25, he's married, and she's a kid as he says he could go to jail, nor would he even really want to do any of "this stuff". Penelope asks what about the stars he told her to look at as she says he looked up at the North Star all night long and was talking to him through it. Brad says he was looking at the moon, disappointing Penelope as Brad then leaves, saying he's going to call her dad and tell him she's being weird, which upsets Penelope as she says "What, no no no no, not my dad". Brad then comes back in, with Brooklyn T. Guy, which Brooklyn Guy says "Penelope! What's this I hear about you being in love with your adult Teacher", which Penelope says "Uhhhhh" as Brooklyn Guy asks what's up with the gifts as he then points at the Apple, asking if it's a Cosmic Crisp as he then goes on an explanation about the Cosmic Crisp. After the explanation, Brookyln Guy says when she asked him for $50 today, his thought was "Wow, that must be a really nice field trip they're going on" as he then says he didn't know she was going to spend it all on the gifts. Penelope says she loves him as Brooklyn Guy asks what's with the card, which he reads it as he then calls Penelope some names, which causes Penelope to cry and run off, saying "I'm telling mom!". Brooklyn Guy then tells Brad he knows he might not agree with his parenting, but they don't call him "Pumpkin Guy" because he's nice, they call him that for reasons that he doesn't really understand as the video cuts to Junior, asking Joseph and Cody if they're ready to go to school and watch Penelope "goo goo gaga" over Brad as Penelope then comes in, crying. Junior asks Penelope if she's supposed to be at school early with Brad, which Penelope says Brad told her he didn't want her. Cody says "That's good", which Junior agrees, saying "Yeah, he's an adult, you're a kid" as Penelope then says she's sorry to Junior. Junior angerly asks if she's now sorry now that Brad doesn't want her, which Penelope says yeah and asks if he's still going to get her a 20-Month anniversary gift. Joseph laughs as Penelope tells Junior it doesn't have to be the piece of chalk as she doesn't want it anymore, which Junior tells Penelope that he thinks she should get him something for what he did as Cody then says all he's hearing is he just has to tell Brad he's 18, which Penelope tells Cody that Brad's married, but Cody says he doesn't care as he then leaves, saying "Man butt".

Errors[]
- Penelope is insistent on her and Junior celebrating their 20-month anniversary at the beginning and end of the episode.
