Teacher's Pet is the ninth episode of Season 2 of Between the Lions, and episode 39 in total.

Notes and Trivia

 * The puppets of Cleo and Theo as cubs are, obviously, modified versions of Leona and Lionel, while Teacher Creaky is a slightly modified Cleo. The lion seen in the fly-swatting challenge is also a modified version of Cleo, as is the lion on the left (viewer right) side in the smell challenge.
 * An alternate Cleo puppet with bleary eyes was used for this episode.
 * The monkey that hosts the smelling challenge has a voice based off of the late talk-show host Regis Philbin. At one point, he says "You...are absolutely right!", a phrase that Philbin popularized as the host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
 * Music that resembles the song "Eye of the Tiger" plays during the fly-swatting challenge. To drive home the connection further, one of the flies (whose name is Rocky) has a voice modeled after Sylvester Stallone, who starred in Rocky III, the film that "Eye of the Tiger" was originally written for. The fly's trainer is based off of Burgess Meredith, who played Mickey in the first three Rocky films.
