WELCOME BACK, KOTTER: WHODUNIT (TV)
Summary
One in this comedy series about high school teacher Gabe Kotter, who returns to his alma mater, James Buchanan High in Brooklyn, to teach a group of incorrigible students known as "Sweathogs." In this episode, Rosalie "Hotsie" Totzie tells Kotter she's pregnant and that one of the Sweathogs is the father. Kotter is determined to find out which one of them is responsible for Hotsie's dilemma. None of them admits to it, but Horshack feels it may be him considering he was the last person to go on a date with her. Feeling that he must take responsibility for his actions, he proposes to Hotsie. However, Kotter asks his wife, Julie, to talk with Hotsie to see if she'll reveal which boy is the father. Kotter is frustrated about not getting the truth from his students and demands Hotsie tell him. Just as she's about to confess, Hotsie says the whole thing was a joke in order to clear her reputation around school of being the "easy girl." Commercials deleted.
