This episode finds Buchanan subjected to a flu epidemic with many students and teachers out sick. Because of that, a few of the academically enriched students are forced to have class with Kotter's Sweathogs. Of course, the two halves clash as the Sweathogs feel insecure and dumb around the smarter students who are able to answer all of Kotter's history questions correct.
It's a very fun episode with a lot of great interactions between the characters. Helanie Lembreck is a delight as Judy Borden and it's a shame her character wasn't given more of a role in the series. Ron Palillo is also a great talent as Horshack and its episodes like this where you can tell he really was feeling his character. Great episode, not a boatload of laughs but still very enjoyable.
