"No substitute for Crazy!"

After Mr. Crocker injures himself, his class has a wonderful new substitute teacher named Mrs. Sunshine. She gives out golden stars for silly things, like using the restroom. Timmy wishes for her to be his pernement teacher. Then, Timmy finds out she is a professional fairy hunter named Ms. Doombringer. The golden stars were magic detectors. Fairy dust is found on the stars of Timmy and his friends (due to the fact that Timmy hangs out with them so much). Ms. Doombringer tries to find out who has the fairy. Timmy manages to escape the school through a secret exit in the Crocker Cave. Crocker (who is now the crossing guard) lets Timmy cross the street, but when Ms. Doombringer follows, he lets the cars go. Ms. Doombringer is hit by a bus. Crocker explains to Timmy that because Ms. Doombringer took his job, she was his enemy. He also explains that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Timmy still doesn't get it, so Crocker gives him an F and a golden star. Timmy just runs away.
