Samantha's Tutor Trouble
Meanwhile, Samantha needs a tutor. Math is not her strong suit, to put it mildly. So, Angela hires a very attractive young man to help her out.

Why This Episode Rocks
This episode hits all the right notes. It has the perfect blend of humor and heartwarming moments. That's the Who's the Boss? charm.
First off, the Tony-in-school storyline is gold. He's completely out of his element. Watching him navigate teenage drama and tough subjects is hilarious.
His competitive spirit shines. He can't stand being shown up by the younger students. It brings out his goofy side in the best way.
Then there's the Samantha subplot. Tony's overprotective dad instincts kick into overdrive. His reactions to the tutor are priceless.
It's a classic case of a dad not wanting his daughter to grow up. Something we can all relate to, on some level. Angela, of course, provides the voice of reason (sort of).
The Angela Factor
Speaking of Angela, she plays a crucial role. She's the grounded one, trying to keep everyone in check. But she also enjoys watching the chaos unfold.
Her witty remarks and exasperated sighs add another layer of humor. She's the perfect foil to Tony's impulsive nature. Together, they're sitcom magic.
Relatable Themes
Underneath the laughs, "Teacher's Pet" explores relatable themes. Going back to school as an adult is daunting. But it's also admirable.
It shows that it's never too late to pursue your dreams. Plus, the episode touches on the complexities of father-daughter relationships. It’s about letting go (a little) and trusting your children.
