Sean chats about his top themes of the first two seasons, we recap our favorite characters and moments, and we take a very poorly worded quiz to test our knowledge.

Jerry gets mugged (kinda) and the gang feels bad for making fun of him. We talk about times when we've been bullies ourselves: Sean terrorized a row of children during a basketball game, Joey pushed a classmate into puddles, and Haleigh mean-mugged her now best friend for nearly an entire year. Sean also has a dance battle, and people are getting upset about scuff marks on a volleyball court. If that ain't a jam-packed episode, we need to revisit what the word "jam-packed" means.
