## Stephen and Mrs. Gorf

"**Stephen and Mrs. Gorf**" is the twenty eighth episode of Season 1 of *Wayside School*.

## Synopsis

Stephen is the only person to dress up for Mrs. Jewls's Halloween party.

## Plot

The episode begin with Stephen walks to the thirtieth story, dressed as a goblin for Mrs. Jewls' Halloween party. But none of the other kids are wearing costumes because they think the party is another day. Stephen insists they're wrong. He explains that since Halloween is on a Sunday this year, they have to celebrate the Friday before. Mrs. Jewls hands out Halloween cookies to the class, but doesn't give one to Stephen because she's too busy laughing at his costume. After everyone finishes the cookies in less than thirty seconds, Mrs. Jewls starts a math lesson.

Stephen is embarrassed, as the party lasted less than a minute, and now he'll have to spend the rest of the day in his goblin suit. A couple other students laugh at him, before Mrs. Jewls proceeds to her math lesson. But for some reason, she can't get the right answer to 2 + 2 - no matter what she does, she can't seem to write 4 on the board. Mrs. Jewls is confused, noting that 2 + 2 always equalled four before. Suddenly, her chalk turns into a live worm, which frightens her. She drops it and and the lights go out, with the blackboard lighting up and flickering like a movie screen. A woman appears out of the board and steps out into the classroom. It's the ghost of Mrs. Gorf, and she's come back from the dead to get her revenge on the students in Mrs. Jewls's class.

Mrs. Jewls asks who Mrs. Gorf is, and the rest of the students explain that Mrs. Gorf was their old teacher who turned everyone into apples and then got eaten by Louis. Mrs. Jewls is not happy by Mrs. Gorf's presence, and orders her to leave the classroom. However, Mrs. Gorf explains that because it's Halloween and she's a ghost, she can go wherever she likes. Mrs. Jewls points out that it's not Halloween, but Mrs. Gorf agrees with Stephen, saying that since Halloween lands on a Sunday this year, they have to celebrate it the Friday before. Stephen is thrilled to be proven right, even from the ghost of Mrs. Gorf, so he leaps out of his seat and hugs Mrs. Gorf in gratitude. Mrs. Gorf disappears in shock and the lights go on again. Mrs. Jewls picks up her chalk and writes the correct answer to 2 + 2 on the blackboard, saying that when two plus two doesn't equal four, anything can happen.

The episode ends with the students that laughed at Stephen now hail him as a hero, but he changes out of his costume anyway..
