Ep 7. Personal Everest

In A.P. Bio season 2 episode 7 titled "Personal Everest," Jack Griffin, a former Harvard philosophy scholar, continues to teach high school biology in Toledo, Ohio. Jack is not interested in teaching biology and instead uses his genius to help his talented students with their personal problems.

In this episode, Jack is challenged to climb a mountain by his rival, his ex-girlfriend, and the principal of the school, without using his cell phone or GPS because he always relies on technology to fix things. However, Jack accepts the challenge, not wanting to appear weak in front of his students.

Meanwhile, Jack's students start to feel strange around him. They are used to being able to open up to Jack about their problems, but lately, Jack has been a bit stand-offish. They try to get Jack to open up to them about what's going on but he refuses to tell them, instead, focusing on his climbing challenge.

As Jack prepares for his climb, he reaches out to his former mentor at Harvard, who taught him how to climb. His mentor has been teaching Jack about the importance of setting goals and achieving them, and Jack realizes that he needs to enjoy the journey and not just the destination. With this new realization, he becomes more focused on the climb itself and less so on the end result.

After the climb, Jack returns to Toledo and has a heart-to-heart talk with his students, explaining the importance of facing personal challenges and making personal goals. With this new outlook, he reconnects with his students and helps them work through their own personal struggles.

Overall, "Personal Everest" is a heartwarming episode that highlights the importance of personal growth and overcoming challenges. The subplot with Jack's students adds depth to the story and makes for a satisfying conclusion. Fans of A.P. Bio will enjoy this episode, as it continues to showcase Jack's unique teaching style and his growing bond with his students.
