The concepts dealt with in PLCL are great because they are realistic. This episode focuses on the wonderful world of High School gossip and how it can distort reality. The resident 'hot teacher' takes an interest in Parker and the rumors and ideas of what's really going on take a life of their own. Are the things that Parker think are developing between him and the teacher something more, or is his imagination getting the better of him. One thing for sure is Parker gets a lesson in humanity as he finds that teachers are people and have ideas and feelings. The episode is a little slow going and (thanks to afternoon television) kind of polished to not cause conflict with sensors and viewers. Aside from that the episode is a believable one and therefore true to Parker Lewis world.
