Plot
T.J. and the gang scheme to have recess come early. They succeed, but then they are greeted by a soldier who drops off his son, Gustav "Gus" Griswald, a new student. T.J. and the others show him around, but then King Bob shows up and finds out he's the new kid, as per the code of the playground the last kid to transfer in becomes 'The New Kid', and shall forever be known only as the new kid and nothing else. The Last New Kid was Morris P. Hingle.
Gus is then ostracised in his status, even by teachers and his family. T.J. and the gang then take pity on him, and help him get his name back, until King Bob shows up again. Gus has had enough, stands up to King Bob and demands his name back, to which Bob does so, indifferently. Gus, now a part of the Recess Gang, celebrates, while Morris, the former new kid, complains that he had to go though the new kid status for 3 years before Gus transferred in. To which King Bob responds, "Hey, you should've said something."
