We are introduced to a group of teachers and staff at an elementary school and learn what really happens when the students go home.

Miracle decides to celebrate spring by distributing flowers to the staff, but fails to realize that she is actually giving out hemlock, which ultimately puts Andrew in a coma.

Meanwhile, the school's fundraiser is put in danger due to Helen's grudge against Sue.
