If we're gonna launch a successful campaign to get Marissa back into Harbor, we have to find someone who can organize the masses. Someone whom you'll follow, you know, into battle.
Meet General Townsend.

A good cause, poor odds, a chance to ruffle some Newpsie feathers? How could I say no.
[grins] Ohhh, the boys have poster boards and paint!
I love student activism.
You don't have to reinstate but you might want to.
Enlighten me, Mr. Cohen. Why would I want to do that?
Because sometimes a good kid goes though a rough time. And we might think that by closing a door to her, or to him, we're teaching a lesson. And when that child needs us the most, we're not there for them. There isn't a person in this room that thinks Marissa Cooper is a threat to anyone, or that she wasn't a model student nor that she wouldn't continue to be. So what are we doing here? Instead of proving a point, let's right a wrong. It's so rare in life that anyone gets a second chance.
