Sexy-Ed is the eighth episode of Season Two of Clone High, and the twenty-first episode of the overall series.

Synopsis

While Clone High mourns a power couple breakup, Candide and Scudworth hatch a plan to reunite the pair with mandatory sex education, swarthy seamen, and some sensual sax solos.

Plot

Joan and JFK break up. A funeral is held for their relationship for the rest of the class to mourn. Meanwhile, the Shadowy Figures planned to make Joan and JFK a power couple for Operation Spread Eagle. However, they quickly find out that Joan and JFK broke up hours before. Principal Scudworth and Candide organize a Sexual Education class. They also place romantic candles all around. Their plan is to try and force them back together. However, it leads everyone else to get into romantic entanglements instead.

The sex ed teacher, Miss Grumbles, tells the class about STDs in an over-sexualized way. She even claims to have invented the missionary position. She also claims to have had a relationship with Abe's clone father. Later, she hits on Abe even though he is much younger than her. She puts on romantic music to try and woo him until she dies when Abe refused to do this with her.

Harriet and Confucius host a teen party to celebrate their relationship, which Candide disapproves of. They start to identify themselves as Harrucius. At the party, everybody ends up hooking up. All of the bedrooms in the house are “occupied”.

Frida becomes a complete nervous wreck in front of her crush Cleo. They end up getting together at Harriet and Confucius’ party. Sacagawea and George Washington Carver hook up too.

Historical References

• Abe Lincoln wears a stovepipe hat at the JoanFK Funeral, just like the Original Abraham Lincoln.
• When Joan goes to collect her stuff from JFK’s locker, a poster of Marilyn Monroe is seen to the right inside his locker. This is reference to the original JFK and Marilyn Monroe as JFK was rumored to have had an affair with her.
• Mrs. Grumbles tells Abe that blood wasn't the only thing Abraham Lincoln liked to spray around the cheap seats, making a disgusting reference to the Lincoln assassination.
• George Washington Carver hits on Sacagawea, telling her that although her clonemother was a guide, he's lost in her eyes.

Errors

• At the JoanFK Funeral, it says on a board that their relationship started in 2002. This is impossible, considering their relationship started in the Season 1 finale episode, "Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale", which took place in 2003, as evidenced in the episodes "Saved by the Knoll", where Joan had a photo of the events of "Film Fest: Tears of a Clone", (which took place before "Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale"), and it was dated January 25th, 2003.
  • Additionally, in "Let's Try This Again", Abe and JFK both stated that it was 2003 and the winter prom took place "last night", while they both believed only one day had passed since the events of "Changes: The Big Prom: The Sex Romp: The Season Finale".
• Joan pairs up with George Washington Carver in sex-ed class. However, in one of the shots, George Washington Carver is shown to be paired up with Sojourner Truth.
