The gang enters the police/fire cadet training academy, where Maria hopes she can spend time with her dad who is the Captain there. She throws a party in her room just to get his attention. Rather than giving an acceptance speech for a coveted award, Maria's dad takes her outside and they reconcile; Nicky, Tony, and Eric end up stuck in kitchen duty; Mr. Belding and Screech become handcuffed together as part of a magic act.
