    In this opener for season 3, Cory wants to ask Topanga to be his girlfriend. But he keeps chickening out. He is going to ask her to a date for a movie. But she reveals she has a date: Shawn. So Cory asks out Trini, Topanga's best friend. In the end it is revealed Shawn set the whole thing up: he planned on asking out Topanga and Cory asking out Trini because Cory would realize he likes Topanga. So they start dating.

    A really funny episode with a good plot. This is one of their funniest seasons. A perfect scoremoreless

    This was a very unexpected episode, I mean out of all the guys, Topanga picks Cory's best friend, the most cringe-worthy part is when Shawn tells Cory that he has a date with Topanga, I like how Cory took Trini, and then she was bugging him the whole way through, like when Shawn & Topanga kiss, Cory tries to kiss Trini & the bubble gum explodes in his face, the end seemed to be all a set up which is a good thing, cause if it wasn't, Shawn would be the worst friend ever! The B plot was okay, Eric trying to change the movie for the school presentation to get big bucks, I like when his about to reveal everyone's worst nightmare & it was Feeny! A great season opener.moreless

    Cory really wants to ask Topanga to be his girlfriend, but gets nervous around her. Shawn asks her out instead, even though he knows that Cory is in love with her. Cory is angry so he goes to Trini, Topanga's best friend. He asks her out and they go to the film festival. Eric is in charge of it, but things get out of hand when they show a horror movie instead of the designated film. Shawn and Trini had tricked Cory so he would get the courage to ask Topanga. She says yes!

    This was a great episode! I thought that Shawn was a total jerk when he said that he asked Topanga out. I'm glad it was just a plan to get Cory to ask her. This was a great episode and a good season opener! I give it a 10!moreless

    when shawn asks topanga out before cory mustered the courage, cory gets very mad and ends up going out with trini the same night. trini, by the way, is totally hilarious!! brittany murphy is SO funny in this episode. and trini is just a strange and funny character, but its so hard to believe that she is best friends with topanga, who is SOOO different. anyway, of course, cory and topanga become boyfriend/girlfriend officially in this episode, and they realize it was a setup by shawnmoreless

    Eric tries to get a horror movie to play at the school film festival, and Shawn asks Topanga to go to the movie with him. Jealous, Cory invites Topanga's best friend, Trini (Brittany Murphy), whom he hates, to the same movie. The result is a bizarre double date where Shawn kisses Topanga, and in the end, it turns out it was all a plot to get Cory and Topanga together.

    ADD TRIVIA

    • One of the rules in the cafeteria at John Adams High is "No Reading."

    • Trini is shown in this episode as Topanga's best friend; but the only other time she is seen, or even mentioned, is in The Last Temptation of Cory.

    • When Eric is hanging up posters, a sign reading "Sex Ed" can be seen behind him. As the camera angles change, so does the sign; switching back and forth between "Sex Ed" and a graffiti-altered "Sex, Ed?".

    ADD QUOTES

    • Cory: What just happened over there, Shawn? I mean, I'm talking with you fine, but over there with Topanga I became a...sea monkey. Shawn: That's a bad animal, man.

    • Mr. Feeny (to Mr. Turner): The Hunter boy giving you a rough time? I suggest you send a note home to yourself.

    • Mr. Turner: Guys, guys, guys, guys. You didn't hear, did you? Shawn: What, what? Mr. Turner: This year, when the bell rings...it means get to class!

    • Mr. Turner: That's right pal. Your butt's in homeroom before that first bell rings or TV no way, snacks no way, dates no way. OK? Shawn: Snacks? Mr. Turner: I'm new at this. Now get outta here.

    • Cory: Topanga, if I had to dream up the perfect woman, she wouldn't even come close to you. Would you be my girlfriend?

    • Cory: Why did I even ask a woman? They only bring you heartbreak. Amy: Well, this one brings dinner every night, a roof over your head; and there was that little giving birth thing. Cory: Mom, that's getting real old.

    • Cory: That's not the Topanga I've known. I mean, it's like she goes away for a summer and comes back a woman. Shawn: Yeah, so did Coach Franklin.

    • Eric: My grades aren't good enough to get me into college? Mr. Feeny: Your grades, my friend, are not good enough to get you a slurpie.

    • Eric: Mr. Blue, let 'em in. Frankie: Joey's Mr. Blue; I'm Brown. How don't you see that? This is a reference to characters in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino film, Reservoir Dogs.
