Plot summary
Parker opines how school is the "survival of the coolest". Examples: His sister telling how she pranked Parker with the hand in warm water trick, or another student explaining how he discovered cold fusion in a Jello mold, or the jock (Marc Riffon) bragging about his conquest of Parker's English teacher, Mrs. Mason (1982 Playboy Playmate of the Year Shannon Tweed ). Parker too becomes infatuated with Ms. Mason and goes as far as giving her an unwelcome kiss while discussing an upcoming debate (topic: talk about yourself, a la Beverly Hills, 90210 ).
The buds waited by their phones to hear all about it – Mikey watched MTV all night, saying, "If I ever see another Wilson Phillips video, I'm going to lose my love thing for ( VJ ) Daisy Fuentes." A first: he gets good advice from his sister who is worried about where it will lead. Ms. Mason and Parker resolve the tension by making it clear: Teachers "have no business" being intimate with students. The episode title refers to the film, The Graduate, which similarly has a character falling for an older woman.
The episode even includes a comparable shot of the iconic camera angle between the legs. A subplot involves Musso finding someone to fill the lead role of The Music Man which, in the end, that someone is Jerry. Guest starring Aaron Lustig,
