Devin recounts a county that completely forgot about his department and the ethics violation rundown by a judge that was anything but planned. Meanwhile, Lauran shares her experience of a PD in Houston, emphasizing the importance of keeping things stress-free. Gabe talks about his visits to universities, enlightening future educators on what he wishes he knew before becoming a teacher.
