Chronology: TV Series

Mr. Collins was first introduced in the epispode "A Service to the Community." The guardians think he is the beast from Meridian, and attack him. It turns out that he isn't  the beast. Will says," I can't belive we zapped our history teacher!" They try to drag him home in a wheelbarrow, but decide to transform and fly when a police car almost finds them. They drop him into Martin's swimming pool to which Caleb smugly comments "Great. Now his glued on face will fall of faster." They return him home and cover him in crickets and his lizard so he will think that it ate his shirt while he was dreaming.

Trivia

• Mr Collins' name is actually a pun. A "Dean" is a person with authority in a specific academic field, or an area of concern, or both. So, Professor Collins would be the Dean of History.
• In the Ludmoore Saga, it is shown that he likes poetry, as he helped Will figure out that the riddle was an excerpt from a poem "The Enchantres" by a Heatherfield poet named Lowitt.
• In the planned season 3, Dean and Susan were planned to be engaged. Susan along with the other guardian's parents were also planned to eventually find out that the Girls were Guardians.
