synopsis
Tough guy Frankie (Ethan Suplee) prevails upon Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) to help him win the heart of a girl named Gloria (Mathea Webb)...or else. Trouble is, Gloria is already the girlfriend of even tougher guy Harley--and he'll reduce Cory and Shawn to a heap of bloody rubble if he finds out what they're doing. Meanwhile, Cory's dad Alan (William Russ) gets in trouble for buying his wife Amy (Betsy Randle) a "utility" gift as an anniversary present. Yes, both of these storylines are linked together by episode's end--but you'll have to watch to find out how!
