Room 222 in so many of its episodes had a light hearted approach but this episode was its darkest. Even though it was made over fifty years ago it deals with an issue that is as relevant as today's headlines-violence in schools. Henry is a graduate of reform school whose naive probation officer is convinced it would behoove him to be a regular student at Walt Whitman high with sweet wonderful Alice Johnson as his teacher. What could possibly go wrong here? Everything! There is eerie music played every time we see this kid and we can see the evil in his eyes. In the end he threatens Alice with a gun and its up to Pete to play Superman and save the day.

Alice Is Threatened
Jimmy_the_Gent420 March 2021
A new student Henry Drucker is a transfer from a reform school who causes trouble at Whitman High.
One of Season 4's best and one the most serious episodes. Henry thinks he can talk his way out of any trouble, just like he did in reform school. He is surly and defiant in class and starts a fight with Jason. Alice sees him with a gun and reports him to Mr Kaufman. When Kaufman can't find the gun, Henry goes after Alice for revenge.
