After one of his practical jokes misfires--literally!--at Alan's store, a desperate Shawn (Rider Strong) hides out in Cory's room. Before long, everyone catches on that Cory (Ben Savage) has a secret, but they say nothing until they're able to gently persuade our hero to fess up. In a pivotal moment, Cory must demonstrate that he doesn't have to lie on Shawn's behalf to prove his friendship--and to prove to Shawn that the world will not end if he admits his wrongdoing.
