He suffers pangs of guilt and cannot bring himself to let her go.  He searches desperately for someone to fire, but everyone has suddenly developed impeccable work habits.  When Drew cannot make up his mind, Wick forces all of the employees except Drew to do push-ups.  They become testy and demand Drew's firing.  He sees his dismissal as opportunity for advancement, and encourages Kate to go after her dream job at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  Mimi prevents Drew from getting another job by telling lies whenever a potential employer calls the store.  He is afraid to propose to Kate because he doesn't think

Drew Pops Something on Kate

Drew is embarrassed after several people who knew him from the Future Leaders of America in high school come to school for Career Day and see him working in the cafeteria.  He wonders when his life got off-track.  He recalls being ignored by Kate and pantsed by jocks on his first day of high school.  Kate blames herself for his misfortune.  She reveals that during their sophomore year, she answered a question when she wasn't really listening and inadvertently advised Drew to get black glasses instead of contacts.  Drew was then seen as a nerd and received regular beatings.  Lewis argues that he is at fault because he introduced Drew to beer during their junior year.  Oswald confesses to spilling chocolate milk all over Drew's application to MIT, then replacing the essay with moronic babbling.  He didn't tell Drew, who sent in the application.

Be Drew to Your School

Cecil has left most of his fortune to Bill Gates, but offers smaller amounts to his friends and relatives, provided that they pass certain tests.  Steve gets $10,000, but Oswald and Lewis lose out on $5000 each when they are unable to remain silent for 24 hours (they last about five seconds).  Cecil had always worried that Drew would end up alone, so he will give him $10,000 if he marries within 72 hours.  Drew and Kate try to throw together a ceremony, but realize that it would be making a travesty out of the event.  They hire a drunken Santa Claus from the store to pose as a minister and pretend to marry them.  They ask Lewis and Oswald to keep quiet about the

She ends up squaring off with Kate in a high-stakes match-up.  Kate has a great hand, so she wagers her share of Buzz Beer against Mimi's $5000.  Unfortunately, she loses.  Mimi quickly manipulates Oswald and Lewis into naming her the new president of Buzz Beer.  Her ideas soon help the company increase its profits considerably.  Lewis discovers that the cashbox is $2000 short.  Everyone blames Drew--because he is out of work and struggling to pay his bills--but he insists that Mimi is setting him up.  Oswald suggests that they just let the culprit return the money secretly.  Drew's power and telephone are turned off.  He admits to Kate that he was borrowing from Buzz Beer in an attempt to pay off his debts.  He doesn't want to take money from her because he is used to being the one who helps everyone w
