Laura Stevens (Sally Hightower in her last appearance in the role) faints so Mr. Kotter tries to revive her with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.  Mr. Woodman walks in and of course jumps to the wrong conclusion.  I might've gone with a B-, but it's a borderline tasteless episode, as with Julie jokingly calling Gabe a "molester" and Judy Borden (Lembeck's last appearance in the role) expecting Mr. Kotter to treat her like a "sex object."  Peter Meyerson wrote this one with Max Goldenson, who didn't really write anything else.

Ernest Harada makes his last appearance, too, as "Mr. Jan from the School Board" (as he's almost invariably referred to).
