Synopsis

Tyler approaches his English teacher and asks for a date. She declines, saying your education comes first. But this does not stop Tyler buying her a box of make up, which leads to his parents thinking he likes to dress up as a woman. In the end, Tyler makes it clear that it was a present for his teacher, which then heats things up as Marlene wants to give the English teacher what for. Boycie goes to see her instead, and she makes it clear that she is not interested in Tyler, as she only likes older men. She is about to seduce Boycie (thus revealing a weakness in Boycie that was not shown in Only Fools and Horses), when her father Llewellyn stumbles in on the two of them.

Meanwhile, Elgin, Bryan, Jed and Mrs Cakeworthy concoct a potion for Rocky the bull, to make him more attracted to the female sex. Marlene then assumes it would make Boycie more sexually driven if he was to take a sip, so without him knowing she slips some in his coffee – but, what she does not know is that she gave him a different potion, and that Boycie has been drinking the same potion that the cows use to increase the size of their udders.
