Complete story — includes the ending

While working out, Josh drops a barbell on his left foot and seriously injures it after Drake accidentally shoots him with a potato using a launching gun. Despite this, Josh tries to conceal the injury from Walter and Audrey, as he is scared of going to the hospital. When Walter and Audrey find out, however, Josh is forced to go to the hospital, where he is told that his injury will require surgery. At the hospital, Drake attempts to get close to the female nurses by illegally impersonating a doctor, which leads to everyone mistaking Drake for an actual young doctor named Dr. Nussbaum, who is due to arrive to the hospital that day. Drake now has to avoid being caught by Josh's doctor ( John O'Hurley ) and ends up having to perform a foot surgery, prompting Josh to intervene and bail him out. Eventually, Drake is caught when the real Dr. Nussbaum arrives. In a last act of desperation, Drake jumps out the window, breaking his arm in the process. Meanwhile, Megan plots revenge on her brothers for not letting her turn up the heat, since the house's thermostat is located in the boys' bedroom. As retaliation, Megan then rewires the thermostat, causing the temperature to become so low inside Drake and Josh's room that it begins to actually snow indoors.
