Later, Andrew is working at Hall’s Market with Heidi watching. Mr. Hall comes in and Andrew and Heidi tell Mr. Hall about their English teacher getting arrested.

The next day in English class, a substitute teacher named Ms. Allison Martin walks in. She writes her name on the board and introduces herself. The kids say she looks like Elizabeth Gillies and Ms. Martin says she gets that a lot. Ms. Martin uses the seating chart to tell which kids are who.

Ms. Martin admires the work Andrew does and says he is a really good student. Heidi suspects that Andrew and Ms. Martin are attracted to each other. After class ends, Ms. Martin asks Andrew to stay.

Andrew then walks out and Heidi tells Andrew that Ms. Martin is in love with him. Andrew denies it and says that he’s doing after school errands after school. After school, Andrew walks in the classroom and sees Heidi looking in the door window and covers it. Ms. Martin says they have to clean the closet. She then grabs a garbage bag to throw stuff out and then she accidentally slips on a piece of paper and Andrew catches her from falling and Heidi sees it from the outside window. Andrew notices Ms. Martin has a engagement ring and she says she has been engaged for two months and is getting married in ten months. Andrew and Ms. Martin then talk about where they grew up. Heidi confronts Andrew and thinks Andrew gave Ms. Martin the engagement ring. Andrew says no. She also mentions that he was holding Ms. Martin. He says he caught Ms. Martin from falling. Heidi still believes he likes Ms. Martin and Andrew excuses himself.

At Andrew’s house, Andrew keeps telling Heidi he isn’t in love with Ms. Martin. Heidi still thinks he gave her an engagement ring. Andrew accuses her of being jealous and Heidi denies it. Andrew still says that he loves her. Heidi still think he’s lying. At dinner with the Daltons and Heidi, Heidi mentions that she thinks Andrew has a crush on their English teacher. Andrew denies it.

They go into the hallway and Heidi asks what Ms. Martin whispered to him. He says she wants him to stay after again for more errands. Heidi thinks Andrew is lying and Andrew tells her again that he is not in love with Ms. Martin. After school, Ms. Martin has a ladder to re-tape some posters. Andrew helps with the ladder. He tells her about Heidi thinking they are in love with each other. Ms. Martin says he has one confused girlfriend. Ms. Martin starts to walk down the ladder and starts to fall and Andrew catches her. Heidi sees this and accuses Andrew of lying. Andrew explains that she almost fell and he caught her. Heidi asks Andrew why he would do this. Andrew and Ms. Martin say that there is nothing going on between them. Heidi still believes they are in love. A guy named Simon Jettison comes in and Ms. Martin greets him and tells Andrew and Heidi this is her fiancé. Heidi then believes that she and Andrew aren’t in love and then Heidi faints.
