Episode 4 of "Boston public"
s01e04 Chapter Four

Rehearsals are in full swing for the annual charity show. Marilyn is dismayed to learn that the main skit the students have prepared is a spoof of the Winslow High faculty -- complete with a gun-toting Senate and Buttle stuck inside a donkey! Elsewhere on campus, Lauren enters a stairwell and catches two student body presidential candidates engaged in a sex act. Lauren confronts the students -- Peter and Susan -- who deny any wrongdoing. However, when Peter later drops out of the election, it becomes clear that Susan's sexual favor was a motivating factor. On top of all this, Lauren must also deal with John LeBlonde. John's an excellent student on the recently suspended soccer team and needs Harper's approval to apply for a prestigious academic award. Harper is refusing to sign, not because John cheated -- he didn't -- but because he failed to report his teammates. Lauren is caught in the middle and is even more uncomfortable when John confesses that he is in love with her. The night of the charity show, Buttle sits with his date, Louisa, and tries not to let the spoof get to him. Later, Lipshultz performs "If I Were a Rich Man" for the 20th year in a row and receives his 20th standing ovation. After the finale, Marla and Marilyn serenade a mortified Guber. The evening ends on a sad note, however, when Harper and Lauren learn that John LeBlonde has overdosed on pills.
