Jenna has given Mark a simple task: pass a note to John Stenson. It should have been easy. But when Mark confuses John with Shawn, another student confuses Shawn spelled with a "W" and Shaun with a "U", and so on and so on...it sets off a chain of miscommunications that could lead to World War III.
