He replies that it will take at least 6 months. He is seen teaching his class about Rube Goldberg Machines. After school Wesley takes his car to drop Hannah Belmont home.

In Drop It Like It's Hot (2), he tells Wesley that he can't give him driving practice in the afternoon. Later when he figures out his nephew stole his car he confronts Wesley and asks him why he did it. Wesley said it was to impress Hannah. He tells Wesley that he won't be able to get his license for at least three years. He deems the Rube Goldberg created by Wesley, Hannah and Liam Berish to be the best in the class, and it can be presumed that they progressed onto the city-wide competition.
