Summary[]

The Mayor takes control of the school and converts it to a religious one.

Plot[]

Rennovation

The Mayor's reign begins.

UCI students and staff destroy China in their celebration of a math contest victory, and the next day, the Mayor visits the campus, enraged at the mischief. After an argument with the Dean revolving around Christian beliefs, the two agree to an arm wrestle match; the winner gains the loser's territory. As the crowd cheers, the Dean initially is ready to arm wrestle, but he falls down before the match begins, meaning the Mayor is now in charge of the school. In his first week as leader of the school, he re-purposes the school to make it religious.

The Dean's new job elsewhere on campus proves to be short-lived, hinting that his dominance is no longer. Later, commotion ensues on campus caused by Pony and Steve's attempt to overthrow the Mayor, but their rebellion is stopped. Baby Cakes shows them that the Dean is deserted near a forest. Taking a closer look, the three see that the Dean is losing his sanity. Upon taking him to the campus doctor, it is noticed that the Dean has insecurity issues in his brain. To remedy this, they take the Dean to a hospital to begin the surgery. As the surgery is completed, it's announced that the Dean's brain is repaired, and the Dean is now his true, masculine self.

The staff attempt to reenter the campus but are denied entry. In a failed attempt to refute this, the Dean relapses, suggesting that the procedure proved futile. That night, the Dean sees what he believes to be God revealing his desire for the Dean to lead the school again. After the Dean hesitates, God assures him of his true intention, and the Dean runs through a wall and back to campus, ready to re-assume his position.

The Dean is ready to take control of the school once again.

The following day, the Mayor's meeting with the staff is interrupted by the Dean, who challenges the former to another arm wrestling challenge. Without any true arm-wrestling occuring, the Mayor cowers down and admits defeat, netting the Dean his title again as he learns "God" is really Baby Cakes in disguise.
