Complete story — includes the ending

Cory and Minkus get into a conversation where Cory thinks Mr. Feeny gets overpaid, while Minkus thinks he gets underpaid. Meanwhile, after so many cracks, Mr. Feeny calls Cory after class and decides to make a bet with him. The challenge is Cory will teach the class, and if more kids pass than usual, he wins the bet and gets 1/5 of Mr. Feeny's paycheck; but if fewer kids pass, Mr. Feeny gets Cory's brand new bike. Eric brings home his new girlfriend named Linda, and Morgan gets a liking to her especially when she gave her a gift of a Japanese lantern. Later, Cory informs his parents about the bet but they are not so enthusiastic. During his first day, Cory names himself as the teacher and is called "Hey, Dude." He becomes too nice and the class gets out of control. Cory decides to give up. At home, Cory realizes that racial prejudice still exists after Linda gets called a racial slur at their local mall. Cory gives a speech to the class, and gets their attention once he calls Shawn a racial slur. Mr. Feeny tells Cory that the same number of people passed except Shawn - he got a B (he always gets a C). In the post-credits, Linda is showing off her cheerleader moves to Eric and Amy. Guest stars: Danielle Fishel as Topanga, Lindsay Price as Linda
