[edit] Synopsis

Stan Marsh, Kyle and Cartman trick Tweek and Craig into believing that they have been challenged by each other to fight. Mr. Adler who is currently taking the boys for shop class can not get over the death of his beloved fiance.

[edit] Plot

The boys start their week in shop class with Mr. Adler. He asks the class who the biggest troublemakers are. Stan and Kyle believe Tweek is whereas Cartman believes Craig is. After a dispute they get the two to fight each other. Lying that the other has challenged them.

Kenny meanwhile, has attended home economics due to his fear of all the tools and dangers (most likely due to his common deaths).

After school, the boys find out Tweek and Craig have both gone home. They consult the two claiming that their opponent turned up and insulted them. The fight is rescheduled to the next day.

Mr. Adler meanwhile has been going through extreme emotional stress after the death of his fiancé. He begins to see flashbacks of her and her death, his only comfort lies in his nicotine gum.

After school, Tweek and Craig show up but are unsure how to fight. The fight is rescheduled yet again, while the boys train the two fighters.

Stan and Kyle train Tweek how to do boxing with the help of Jimbo and Ned. Tweek beats Ned after a few pointers.

Cartman teaches Craig how to sumo wrestle. Unfortunately Craig loses to Cartman after he shoves his ass into Craig.

Mr. Adler has finally run out of nicotine gum, and decides to kill himself by laying on the saw belt, but switched spots on the belt. Kenny briefly appears to explain he has been transferred from home economics after it is considered too feminine for him.

The fight finally begins and the two remain equal. They then crash into Adler's classroom and fling Kenny to his death in a pile of sharp rusty nails. Adler stops his suicide attempt and runs to Kenny. He looks at his face which forms into a vision of his fiancé who says he should remember the good times, not how he didn't say goodbye. He swiftly recovers from his sadness and sees his dead Uncle Corey and his dead grandma.

Tweek and Craig are in hospital and the boys go to see them. They convince them to fight again using the same method as before...
