Complete story — includes the ending

One day at school, Eric accidentally punches Drake in the eye while demonstrating a kung-fu move to Craig. Although he brushes it off as an unfortunate accident, Drake suddenly becomes enraged when he finds out that Eric has started spreading a rumor around school that he hit Drake on purpose for making fun of his sister, causing Eric to become instantly popular and ruining Drake's reputation by reducing him to a laughingstock. Fed up by Eric’s popularity at his expense, Drake, with the help of Craig (who has been ditched by Eric), attempts to reveal the truth about Eric's accidental punch. Their plan is successful, and Eric tries to show off the actual punch but accidentally hits a girl instead, causing him to be further embarrassed and resulting in Drake taking the girl out. In the end, Drake, Craig and Eric sing behind a dumpster, thus reconciling their friendship. Meanwhile, Josh is overcome with jealousy when he believes Mindy has a new boyfriend named Chad, who is actually revealed to be her cousin.
