Shawn defends Cory.

8.9

By Canogaparkcindy, Aug 12, 2008

The lesson learned here is that you don't have to be blood to be family. Which touched my heart when Shawn said that, in the beginning this episode didn't interest me that much, Cory had to do a new report about Shawn's family but then it completely went to the next level, Shawn's half brother comes to town & it causes chaos. When Cory catches him on film stealing computers, but when Shawn doesn't let him, there becomes a wedge between Cory & Shawn which even results them in to fist fighting, but at the and Shawn defends him & lets him keep the tape, after their half brother destroys his camera. The subplot was just okay, no development, Eric selling junk & gets money but he has to give it to Feeny. An amazing life learning episode.moreless

Cory and Shawn make a video about the Hunters so they can send it to Chet. Shawn misses Chet. Cory meets Eddie, Shawn's half-brother. Cory catches Eddie stealing and gets it on tape. Shawn destroys the tape. Shawn learns that family doesn't have to be blood. Mr. Feeny tells Eric about the appraisal. Eric cleans out the garage and attic and gets $4000 for a mask. Mr. Feeny comes by and asks for his old mask back, so Eric gives him the money.

This was a great episode! I loved Eric! He was so funny! This episode gets a 9.5 out of 10!moreless

cory and shawn fight

10

By CancerTheCrab, Jul 31, 2006

i really liked this episode. i found it extremly funny yet it had a seriuos edge to it also. the fight they had was extremly rediculous, i totally felt for shawn and thought that cory should have gotten over it and relized that shawn whould have his reasons, which he did. i was happy that shawn relized that some times friends are more important than family, and i was glad that he saved corys butt. i liked eric in this one how his parents got him to clean and that he calls himself kyle is just too halarius.moreless
