Mentors

"" is the fifteenth episode of the first season of The Cool Kids and the show's fifteenth overall. It originally aired on March 8, 2019 on Fox.

Plot
Hank has become involved with Shady Meadows' high school mentorship program and has been paired up with an awkward student named Ernie.

Ernie wants to go to the upcoming prom, but Hank has talked him out of it because he thinks Ernie will get picked on at the dance. Margaret disagrees with this, reflecting on how wonderful her own prom experience was, and successfully talks Ernie back into going.

Unfortunately, Ernie arrives at the dance and is too scared to go inside, so he hides out in the bathroom.

Hank and Margaret go to get him, and thanks to an interaction with a slightly stuck-up student, Margaret finally sees what it's like to be a nerd.

Meanwhile, Sid's boyfriend John has invited him on a romantic trip to tour the wine country by bicycle. The only problem is that Sid never learned how to ride a bike, so Charlie sets out to teach him.
