Saved by the Bell Season 1 Episode 8 The Todd Capsule

In Saved by the Bell season 1 episode 8, entitled "The Todd Capsule," the gang gets assigned to work on a science project together. The goal is to build a space capsule that could theoretically sustain life on a trip to another planet. However, problems arise when they realize that their assigned partner, the school jock, Todd, is not exactly the brightest bulb in the box.

While the rest of the gang is dedicated to creating a functional capsule, Todd seems more interested in flexing his muscles and flirting with the girls. He repeatedly messes up the project, from sealing the capsule shut before they were finished working on it to refusing to wear a protective suit in the presence of chemicals.

Meanwhile, Zack is also dealing with his own problems. He has his sights set on Kelly but is worried that she's just not that into him. He decides to try to make her jealous by flirting with another girl in their group, Leslie. However, this plan backfires when Leslie starts to develop feelings for Zack.

As the deadline for the project approaches, the group starts to feel the pressure. Worried that Todd's incompetence will ruin their grade, they decide to sneak into the science lab after hours to fix the capsule and make it more functional.

The group works tirelessly through the night, finally finishing the capsule just in time for their presentation to the class. However, their efforts are almost for naught when Todd accidentally spills coffee on the capsule, causing a short circuit.

In a fit of desperation, the gang decides to use themselves as a test subject. They climb into the capsule and hit the launch button, hoping that they can fix any issues and get out before they're stuck in there for good.

The rest of the episode follows the group as they try to make the capsule work and escape before it's too late. The antics and hijinks that ensue make for an entertaining and action-packed episode that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

In the end, the group manages to fix the capsule and successfully launch it without getting trapped inside. They receive an A on their project and everything works out in the end.

"The Todd Capsule" is a classic episode of Saved by the Bell that perfectly captures the show's blend of humor, drama, and high school hijinks.
