Mister Dragen was never one of my favorite characters on Room 222. He was a dour old wet blanket stick in the mud, the kind of teacher every student prayed that he would not get. In this episode, he is particularly unpleasant as Pam one of Pete's prize students, and a wonderful artist, is chosen for a scholarship to a prestigious arts school. However, Dragen claims that he cannot remember signing her application thus putting her future in jeopardy. Pam is angry and bitter and Dragen acts like a petulant child even turning in his resignation. The two reconcile at the end but it is never resolved whether he signed the application or not. That was the problem I have with this episode.
