16. Danger Boy

Complete story — includes the ending

Eric's girlfriend, Kim, mentions that her younger cousin, Laura, is visiting from out of town and asks if he knows anyone who can accompany them on a double date. Eric initially attempts to advocate for Cory, but Cory completely ruins his own chances by acting immaturely and spitting water like a fountain. When Shawn appears moments later exhibiting a much more suave and mature demeanor, Kim insists that Shawn go instead. Succumbing to Kim's persuasion, Eric agrees to the arrangement, deeply angering Cory. Feeling betrayed and excluded by his own brother, Cory confronts Eric and Shawn directly in front of their dates at Chubbie's, heavily criticizing their lack of loyalty. Meanwhile, Acting Principal Mr. Feeny experiences deep professional insult when the high school staff automatically assumes he wants to head the chess club, which is widely considered the most boring extracurricular activity on campus. Following an honest conversation between Cory and Feeny regarding how offended they are by their reputations as "safe" and predictable, the duo decides to radically alter their public personas. To cultivate a reckless and dangerous image, Cory and Feeny travel to a local amusement park with the explicit goal of riding "The Eraser," an incredibly intimidating and dangerous roller coaster.
