A beautiful new substitute teacher, Claire Martin, comes to teach at Bayside, and Screech totally falls for her. He shows her around the school, and asks her out on a date. To everyone's amazement, she says yes. The couple is getting along great, but the entire gang (except for Liz) feels that Claire may have an ulterior motive of using Screech to get a permanent job at Bayside, since he's close to Mr. Belding. They tell Screech their suspicion, and he believes it. He tells Claire off and breaks up with her, despite her pleading that she wouldn't use him like that. Once Claire gets a job at Willowbrook Academy, but is still unhappy, the gang realizes Liz was right and they made a huge mistake. They come up with a plan to get Screech and Claire back together.
