The Affair is an episode from the third season of the Nickelodeon television series Drake & Josh, which first aired on May 21, 2005. It is one of the few episodes which centers around one of Drake and Josh's parents. In this case, it's about their father, Walter Nichols.
[edit] Plot summary
Drake overhears Walter talking on the phone with a mysterious lady and thinks that his stepfather might be having an affair. He explains this to Josh, and soon they catch Walter in all sorts of unusual behavior, including coming home late at night and making close physical contact with another woman.
To "save their parent's relationship", Drake and Josh plan to remind Walter how great Audrey is, to no avail. Ultimately, they catch Walter and his supposed mistress in a restaurant and plan to sabotage the "date". Once they have their father out of the way (by throwing a meatball at him), they try to get rid of the woman, which proves to be more difficult, but after stuffing a plate of spaghetti in her face, she finally leaves. The brothers are triumphant.
Their smiles vanish when a furious Walter tells them who the woman really is: the head of one of the top news stations in the city. She was meeting Walter to discuss his transfer from his current, lesser-known station to her more popular one. What could have been their father's promotion and the start of a better life for them has just literally walked out the door, and Drake and Josh do not complain when they are told to pour food over themselves just as they did the woman.
[edit] Trivia
- Josh's e-mail password is merely "password.", but he decided to change it after Megan said out loud.
- Although Bruce Winchell is depicted as a better weatherman than Walter, he is never mentioned by The Producer of Good Morning Today. Although he could be one of the other men she told Drake & Josh she interviewed
- Josh's line (referring to Drake) "The attention span of a squirrel!" may be a reference to the Fairly OddParents episode "Apartnership" when Cosmo says, "I have the attention span of a small rodent!"
- First appearance of Fudgie
