"Life on the Inside" is the second segment of the seventeenth episode of thefirst season ofKiff. It is the thirty-fourth segment overall.

Synopsis[]

Kiff andBarry get detention and meet a ragtag team of students who help them plot an escape.

Plot[]

For biology class,Miss Deer Teacher has brought a replica of the digestive system into which she will insert hot dogs and soda to demonstrate the effects of their mixture. She then realizes that the hot dogs are still in her truck. Irritated by her rowdy class, she threatens to give detention to any student who is not seated when she gets back from the parking lot. When she leaves, the students get out of their seats anyway, except forKiff andBarry. Kiff manages to reseat her classmates, but before she can return to her own seat, Miss Deer Teacher returns. Kiff is given detention, and when Barry protests the injustice of Kiff's punishment, he is given detention as well.

Kiff and Barry report to their detention room, which is being overseen bySweepy Steve. Kiff tries to explain their situation to Sweepy Steve, but he forces them to stay in detention. Determined to get back to class, Kiff tells the other students in detention –L.E.,Mav,Gareth,Amira, andRosso – that they should all break out, but Mav says that their previous attempts at escaping the room have all been foiled. Nonetheless, Kiff convinces them to follow along with her plan.

Applying her astronomy lessons, Kiff infers the exact time when a sunbeam will strike Sweepy Steve, causing him to fall asleep until the beam recedes. While he is asleep, the students create papier-mâché decoys of themselves. After waking up, he moves his chair in front of the door to block anyone from leaving, moving him out of range of the next sunbeam. Kiff improvises a trigonometry-inspired solution and moves a trash can to reflect the beam onto Sweepy Steve. Inspired by gym class, she has the students stack on top of each other so that Amira can reach and open a vent in the wall, which they exit through. Sweepy Steve awakes and is fooled by the decoys left behind by the students. Finally, Kiff uses her physics knowledge and has Rosso let out a burp powerful enough to propel them all out of the vent and into the AV room on the other side. L.E., Mav, Gareth, Amira, and Rosso return to their respective classes with a new appreciation for learning, inspired by Kiff.

Kiff and Barry observe Miss Deer Teacher's class from inside a vent above the classroom, but just as the hot dog–soda mixture is about to create a cool explosion, the vent gives way. Kiff and Barry fall on top of the explosion, sending its contents splattering onto the rest of the class. Hearing the explosion,Principal Secretary enters the classroom, where he sees Kiff and Barry and commends them for reforming their peers in detention. Back in the detention room, Sweepy Steve remains oblivious to the students' escape.
