Leif Erikson (episode)

Leif Erikson is the twentieth episode of the third season of Moriah Blake and the seventieth episode overall.

Plot
In the Cold Open, Principal Johns addresses a meeting of the teachers and administration, giving them detailed plans for the changed he plans on making in the school. These changes are generally accepted by Mr. Bradford, but disliked by Mrs. English and Frau Junge, who uncharacteristically agree with each other.

Andrew and Patrick take Devin and Robin out sailing on the Leif Erikson. Devin tells Robin about what happened between him and Winter. Robin erroneously says that the hold of the Leif Erikson smells like vodka, in reference to the events of Boat Trip at Ashley's, when Parker gave Dave a small amount of whiskey.

Meanwhile, Ashley has secured herself a babysitting job with a young boy named Eddie. Eddie doesn't give her much trouble, so she takes this time to have a phone conversation with Scott. Scott tells her about Charlie's realization that Justin and Austin are basically the same person, which Ashley laughingly denies. Scott then suggests that Ashley tries to engage Eddie through means of the Marshmallow Experiment. She tries, but Eddie refuses to comply.

Principal Johns and Mr. Bradford continue their meeting. Johns discusses the problems he sees in the public school system, but is angrily refuted by Mrs. English, who insists that he simply does not understand why everything has to happen, due to his having been a student less than a decade earlier.

In the Tag, Ashley sits in the hospital waiting room. She is confronted by Eddie's parents, who accept her apology but blatantly hint that she will not be working for them in the future. After this, we see Patrick and Robin outside the Donovans' house. Robin reveals that she is a smoker, although it is hinted that she is really more of a poser.

Title
The title of Leif Erikson comes from the name of the Donovans' Pearson Ariel. The boat, in turn, was named after the real-life Leif Erikson, son of Erik the Red, and supposed discoverer of America.
