Punky Brewster - S02E03 - Cheaters Never Win.

Punky gets a D in geography on her report card. A big geography test is coming up, and while studying with Allen, Cherie and Margaux, Punky just cannot seem to name the fifty American states nor their capitals. Allen says he’s going to take the easy way out, and cheat by writing the answers all over his body. When the time comes for the test, Punky is stumped. When she sees Allen using the answers that he wrote all over his body, she cheats as well by reading the answers off of him. Punky and Allen are the only kids in the class to receive perfect scores on the test. Mike thinks that his tests are not enough of a challenge for Punky and Allen, so he gives them extra work. Allen and Punky decide to work hard on this assignment, naming unique facets of every state, and their next test they earn As. When report card time comes, Punky is surprised her grade is a C. Mike says he wondered about Allen and Punky’s furtiveness during the first test, and realized they cheated. As punishment, he gave them Fs for the first test. However, the second test was an A fair and square, thus both tests averaged to a C. Mike also tells Punky it is up to Henry to determine her punishment, as he will be wondering why she got a low grade after so much studying. Henry is furious at Punky for cheating, but decides on a light punishment seeing how she learned that cheaters never prosper and all she learned from her extra work.
