Summary Edit

Ms. Finster injures her leg and can't keep up with the kids during recess.

The episode starts with Ms. Finster confiscating Mikey's chocolate bar, telling him that candy at recess is "strictly verboten". Despite further hesitation from TJ and the others, she continues to take candy from students, including the Diggers and Skeens. TJ spots this, and has a brilliant idea. He tells his friends that the target is to take all the candy Finster has confiscated. Just then, Finster grabs the blueprints and walks away when her sack of candy bursts and she falls over, hurting her leg.

Finster is taken away in an ambulance and the other students cheer. The next day, everyone goes outside for recess, happy because Finster is absent. Just then, Finster arrives on crutches, surprising the gang. However, going around the playground with a broken leg proves to be difficult for her.
