Plot summary
Malcolm and Reese end up in the same class since Reese failed the previous year. Mr. Herkabe, who may lose his award for the school's highest GPA to Malcolm, gleefully humiliates Reese every day until Malcolm agrees to start failing his classes. However, Malcolm tells the school's principal, Mr. Hodges ( Steve Vinovich ) that Herkabe skipped Gym in the last semester his senior year (creating his own A.P. class in its place) and lied about taking the course for years upon Herkabe casually mentioning it to him. Hodges then publicly strips Herkabe of the GPA award, much to his humiliation, and returns it to original recipient Edna Thornby, who took and managed to pass Gym despite being blind and clubfooted.
Herkabe decides to retake Gym afterwards to reclaim it and Reese embarrasses him as revenge for the torments he suffered. Elsewhere, Jamie's new babysitter, Claire ( Kathryn Joosten ) drives Lois crazy with her nonstop talking, and Hal tries to help Dewey talk to Gina ( Vanessa Marano ), a girl he likes, with the attempts ending in disaster.
