What happens

A big, mean new student named Bart Slater takes over the schoolyard, bullying the younger children and even defying the teacher. Laura and Albert try to scare him off with a werewolf prank that backfires badly.

When tricks don't work, Laura comes up with a better idea: if all the children stand together, one bully doesn't stand a chance. A fun, kid-centered episode about courage in numbers.
