Driver's Education

Zack is in a great mood because driver's ed starts today. And I'm in a great mood because Mr. Tuttle is the driver's ed instructor.

Zack gives Kelly a ring, which I guess signifies that you're going steady.

Tuttle asks some fairly easy questions, and this gives Slater a chance to become teacher's pet. Apparently his dad taught him how to drive on an army base. What a stud. And he's the only one who has enough money to buy a car. It might not look like much, but Slater has ambitions to fix it up and I guess drive everyone around whenever they want. Through a little tv magic, the car is washed and is looking beautiful. And guess what. Slater turns 16 next week! Zack's worried that Slater is going to steal Kelly away, and he hatches a brilliant plan to make Slater fail driver's ed.

He goes to Tuttle and fabricates a story about how Slater is telling everyone he should be teaching the class. Tuttle is obviously pissed off and sets up a ridiculously hard obstacle course for Slater. But Slater dominates the course and Tuttle falls back in love with him.

Hazy pink dream sequence! Slater and Kelly are on a date in his car at the drive in. Next to them, Zack and Screech are parked on Zack's bike. How is Zack supposed to impress Kelly without a car?

He might be down, but our protagonist is never out. He gives Slater $20 for a private driving lesson after school. Zack steals the drivers ed golf cart, and apparently he cut the brakes. Kelly shows up, and Slater offers to drive her to volleyball practice. They crash into the lockers and Kelly hits her head.

Belding is pissed off. He wants the people responsible to admit it by noon tomorrow, or else! Everyone wants Slater to confess, but Screech chokes under pressure and tells everyone Zack was responsible. The gang concocts a plan to get Zack to admit.

Kelly pretends to have amnesia. She can't remember Zack and thinks Slater is her boyfriend. Zack decides to admit to everything and swears to get Kelly the best doctor money can buy. Kelly smiles and says "thanks Zack." Morris catches onto the plan.

Belding gives everyone one last chance to admit to their crime. Zack doesn't confess, so Belding punishes the whole class. He cancels driver's ed for the entire year. I didn't know the principal has that kind of power. Kelly and Slater try to take the blame, but apparently Zack has a conscious and he confesses. Slater gets two weeks in detention for his part, and Zack flunks driver's ed. Harsh.

Good news for Zack, however. Even though he hatched an elaborate plan to get Slater kicked out of driver's ed, Kelly still loves him and wants her ring back. Awww!


QUOTES!
Mr. Tuttle: Zack, what is the correct driving position?
Zack: Well, for me it's one arm on the wheel, and one arm around Kelly.

Slater: This baby's gonna look great after I give it a little facelift.
Zack: Give me a break. The doctors who worked on Michael Jackson couldn't help this old piece.

Jessie: Slater, why don't you be a man and confess?
Slater: Jessie, why don't you be a woman and cook?
