The Beginning (Episode 2.1)

The Beginning was the first episode of the second season of Todd Frost. It aired on May 1st, 2013.

Flashback
The episode begins with a flashback to three years before the events of season 1. In it we see a nerdier and more pathetic Todd studying alongside Brad. Brad, after much thought, turns and identifies Todd as a nerd before walking away. An affected Todd is then approached by a mysterious man who identifies Todd as Todd Frost. Forgetting his manners, Todd is dumbfounded.

Monster Fight
The now silent Monster continues dancing as the gang decides best how to defeat it. Todd finds the best option to be a direct one and, despite halfhearted dissent from Teacher, engages in a street fighter style punch-out with the Monster. After two punches and a knee to the chest, the Monster dies.

Despite the growing confusion over where the Monster came from, Todd expresses sentiments that it's all over and they should forget about the whole thing.

Montage
The third act of the episode plays out as a montage accompanied by a monologue from Todd, and "Yesterday" by the Beatles. In the monologue, Todd explains that despite the groups' attempts to forget about the brief yet completely impossible experience they had shared, they found that feelings of depression had begun to seep into their everyday lives. Among the vignettes are:

-Todd struggles to focus on homework and promptly gives up.

-Teacher struggles to deliver a lecture and breaks down into angry weeping.

-Todd loses interest in his video game and gains interest in how his joysticks function. Meanwhile, Sheila yells at Todd and promptly begins crying.

Establishments
-Todd used to be a nerd.

-Brad was always Brad.

-Someone is interested in Todd Frost.

-The Monster is now dead.

-Everyone is having trouble coping.

-With regards to whether or not it was the Curriculum at fault or Teacher himself, (referencing Episode 1.2 and the abhorrent instruction of Chemistry) we can pretty well assume that Teacher does not have a handle on himself and the blame lays squarely on his shoulders.
