-NARRATOR: Previously,
on a very special Clone High.
The school was overrun
by wild animals,
and I'm not just talking
about the students.
Toussaint and his falcon
swooped in on Harriet.
Confucius couldn't bear it,
so he brought in his bear
and bared his bare chest.
Turns out,
the guy's got some pythons!
Meanwhile,
the Bleacher Creatures
had some actual snakes.
It's a circus, y'all!
Am I the ringleader?
I don't know.
But I am wearing
a top hat and tails.
