Ed throws the plate away when he realizes the torture it poses, and the plate slams into Kevin's head.
Thinking quickly, Eddy goes over and gives Ed a nice big plate of mashed potatoes–with no gravy. Eddy grins, and then spots Ed sucking on the table, because it tastes a wee bit like gravy. Edd reprimands his friend the best he can in single-syllable words, but is distracted when Jonny dumps a huge pile of washed socks onto the table, having apparently been given the task by Eddy. Eddy gets his opponent to turn around and yell at him, but Kevin is quickly able to stop himself from saying the fateful word. His first target is Kevin, whom he smacks with spitballs. Things get even worse at lunch, as when Eddy sees that nobody has cracked, he realizes he needs to kick it up a notch. As usual, Eddy revels in his friends' troubles, as it means he's much closer to winning the bet. Edd is annoyed by Eddy's glee, and this annoyance turns to worry when Ed shows up with all the symptoms of withdrawal. Eddy sees this and is about to call for his friends, but remembering the bet, he simply goes off and gets Edd to show him the spectacle. Things get wackier when Jonny pounces on Jimmy and demands to be told what to do when Jimmy gingerly suggests that Jonny do math homework for him, Jonny gets up, grabs some books, and heads into the library to start work.
Eddy is at first about to yell back, but he swallows his words and calmly walks off, much to the confusion of Sarah and Jimmy. However, the first test comes when Sarah bumps into Eddy and yells at him. When the next day comes, everyone is confident in their abilities, including Rolf, who is emptying his locker of all meat.
Nervous, Jonny agrees to give up Plank, and soon a deal is struck: all will wager a quarter, and the winner will take home the stack. Across the aisle from them, Kevin mocks them and calls them dorks, causing Rolf to wager a quarter and his love of mammal flesh (meat) that Kevin can't give up saying "dork." Seeing that a bet is in motion, Eddy moves over to Jonny and suggests that he can't give up listening to his 2x4. When Edd asks Ed if he even thinks about what his obsession with gravy is doing to him, Eddy complains that Ed couldn't give up gravy if he tried, Edd is quick to point out that Eddy can't stop yelling, and Eddy retorts that Edd always uses gigantic words, gaining support from Plank who believes that Edd would lose sanity if he is unable to use words with more than a single syllable. Ed doesn't mind as he's still eating enormous quantities of gravy that he has stored on his person. Ed is the last one off of the board, and when he jumps off, his package of instant gravy mix plops into the water and opens shortly thereafter, turning the pool into a gigantic vat of gravy, much to Ed's delight and everyone else's ire.īy the end of the lesson, the still irritated kids are fully ready to get on the bus and go to school, especially Kevin, who still has gravy in his ears, and Eddy, who’s mad that he somehow got detention for something that was Ed's fault and not his. Edd is worried by this, but has no time to lecture, as they all have to leap off the diving board. Ed has something entirely different in mind, though, as his early morning routine consists of eating as much gravy as possible. Today, the kids are splashing around in the Peach Creek Community Pool, although while Edd is invigorated by the morning exercise, Eddy would rather just sleep. As we all know, the Eds have moved on to middle school, and with this move has come a new morning routine of having exercise first thing in the day.
