Complete listed story — includes the ending

1. The Bet

Drake is heavily addicted to junk food, while Josh is heavily addicted to video games. This lands the boys into serious trouble when they forget to bring Megan home on a rainy day, for which they are both grounded by Audrey. Drake and Josh then make a bet to see who can live without their addictions, with the loser having to dye their hair pink, even going so far as to sign a contract with Megan in order to make it official. After a few days, however, Drake develops a disfiguring facial rash from his sudden change in diet, which can only be cured by eating junk food. Meanwhile, Josh receives a brand new GameSphere as a gift from Grammy, which causes his own urges to run wild. Audrey and Walter then make their own bet over who will win, with the loser also having to dye their hair pink. Walter bets on Drake, and Audrey bets on Josh. Both Drake and Josh are ready to cave when Megan convinces both brothers to try and make the other crack first. Josh turns their bedroom into a candy palace, while Drake plays Josh's GameSphere in front of him. Both boys cave at the same exact moment, and they fight over who caved first. Megan then reveals that it does not matter who caved first due to a loophole in the bet’s contract, meaning that they both lose. Because of this, Audrey and Walter also lose their bet, forcing everyone (except for Megan) to dye their hair pink, much to her amusement. However, when everyone leaves the house the next morning, Drake stays behind for breakfast, where it's revealed that he is only wearing a pink wig.

Desperate to make things right before Drake can find out, Josh attempts to buy a new guitar and have it autographed by Devin Malone backstage at the concert. Drake catches Josh in the act and, instead of being angry, is moved that Josh would go to such great lengths for him. However, moments before the concert can begin, Josh accidentally slams the guitar case closed on Devin's hand, breaking it. As the concert is about to be canceled, Josh nominates Drake to perform instead of Devin, and the band's manager agrees.

The theater's manager, Helen ( Yvette Nicole Brown ), immediately begins heavily favoring Drake over Josh, giving Drake all the credit for Josh's hard work, despite Drake's constant laziness. Helen even promotes Drake to assistant manager, much to Josh's annoyance. Desperate for any kind of recognition, Josh seeks Helen's approval by creating a promotion designed to sell more popcorn.

After the game, Drake finally admits that Josh is cool.

After several people complain to him about Drake's gambling at their expense, Josh eventually finds out the truth. He furiously vows never to play pool again, especially after Drake reveals that he still intends to hustle more people should they play again. Meanwhile, Walter sends Drake and Josh out to find a new birthday present for Audrey after she buys the same bracelet he originally planned to give her. On the way, they come across a pool hall, and Josh reluctantly agrees to play pool and let Drake hustle their opponents, on the condition that this will be the last time they ever do so.
