De Supervivencia Escolar De Ned 1x8 — Manual
Ned, Moze, and Cookie realize that the two most terrifying wildcards in the Polly-Principal ecosystem—a chaotic Substitute Teacher and the black hole of personal property known as the Lost-and-Found—have joined forces. Cramming two tips into one episode means double the chaos, double the survival tactics, and one very confused hall monitor.
