                                                      Vampire Slayer]

It's Bayside's annual "Prank War" and the boys and the girls are at each other fast and furious, but when Belding tries to suspend the pranks for a visit by the School Superintendent (Raye Birk), things go terribly wrong when the boys, and then the girls, ignore him, leading to disaster for Mr. Belding

2.6: "Tommy the Tenor"

Bobby enthusaitically drums up new members for the Glee Club, but doesn't have much success until the girls see the hunky new music teacher (Joel Gretsch); meanwhile Mr. Belding tries to prevent budget cuts from ending the Glee Club's run [Screech was absent from this episode: it is said that he is in Las Vegas (implied: for Zack & Kelly's wedding).]

2.7: "Bayside Story"

  (2.7)  Rock             -Rosey Grier Jr.
  (2.7)  Brick            -Steve Monroe

It is the annual football game with Valley, and tensions are unusually high, which creates major problems for Megan when she finds out her new boyfriend (Bumper Robinson) is the captain of the Valley football team [Screech was absent from this episode: it is said that he is in Las Vegas to be the best man at Zack and Kelly's wedding (i.e. the TV movie). Continuity error: Mr. Belding was also at that wedding, so he shouldn't be at Bayside either! Also the impression from the movie was that the wedding happened during the summer previous to this season (and no mention is made of Screech working at Bayside in the movie). Oops!]

2.8: "A Perfect Lindsay"

  (2.8)  D.J. Katrina     -Juliette Jeffers
  (2.8)  Kent             -Adam Bonifant

The gang gets all excited when the TV "Club Jam" is going to hold a dance contest a Bayside: Brian asks Rachel to be his partner, Bobby and Brian trick Megan's partner so Bobby can go with Megan, but Bobby doesn't know how to dance!, and Lindsay goes way overboard on dieting, to the point where the gang thinks she has a problem

  (2.9)  Clarence         -Joseph Foss
  (2.9)  Rod              -Don Handfield
  (2.9)  Grease           -Ali Dodd

Lindsay can't afford to get Tommy D. a birthday gift, so Brian and Bobby help her out by highjacking the school video project so Lindsay can do a video about Tommy D. for his birthday. But their plans hit a snag when Brian's sister Katie (Kim Baronof) and Tommy D. fall for each other. [Another massive continuity error happens in this ep.: at the end, Tommy D. and Lindsay seem to break up. Yet they are together in the summer series, which seems to happen chronologically after this episode (though the summer run was first aired on NBC before this ep). In any case, a major screw-up.]

2.10: "The Class of 20/20"

The gang reminisces about their times at Bayside (and at the Palisade Hills Country Club) as Mr. Belding and Screech film a video for a time capsule to be opened "in 15 years" in the year 2020 [This ep. seems complete the continuity errors of this season of tNC: it shows both the Bayside run and the PHCC run as both having happened *before* this video is filmed, which is impossible, unless this episode actually takes place in the gang's Grade *12* year (which would be the '95-'96 season of the show). Also, Weasel is shown in the Lindsay-Tommy D segment, yet no mention is made of him or what happened to him in the episode, and he isn't credited.]

  (2.11) Chris            -Alex Deboe

  (2.11) ski patrolman    -Colin Gray

During a break in the school year, Mr. Belding takes Screech, the gang and some other students from Bayside on a school-sponsored ski trip, but problems ensue when Brian's lack of attention to Rachel, and Lindsay's attraction to a college-aged boy (Alex Deboe), prompt the girls to go to a frat party where Lindsay, and later Tommy D, have too much to drink

2.12: "Feuding Friends"

  (2.12) Ramon-Rasmon     -Loren Freeman             [Seen in previous

2.13: "To Cheat or Not to Cheat"

  (2.13) Mrs. Bluntley    -Mary Jo Catlett
  (2.13) waiter           -Alexis Cremieox

Rachel won't be able to go to a dance unless she gets at least a C in a history mid-term (and she won't), which leaves Brian with a dilemma when he sees a copy of the mid-term; Screech enlists the help of Bobby, Tommy and Lindsay to help him impress Mr. Belding who must write an evaluation of Screech's work/study performance for C.U.

2.14: "The D Stands for Droupout"

  (2.14) Mr. De Luca      -Nick Angotti              [This is not the 
                                                      actor that played

                                                      Culpepper in 
                                                      SbtB, tOS.]

Tommy D takes a job as a machanic, a job he loves and is good at, but when his job begins to interfere with school, he decides that the answer is to drop out of school, disappointing his father (Nick Angotti; this is not the same actor that played the role in season #1, so the New Class has made an error similar to the one SbtB, tOS made with Zack Morris' father), Mr. Belding and the gang
