[edit] Plot summary
Drake and Josh's teacher, Mrs. Hayfer, has to leave for the weekend and her housekeeper cancels at the last minute. Josh volunteers to take care of her house while she's away and she agrees, as Josh is one of her favorite students. Later, when Josh goes to her house, Drake rides with him because he wants to drive by their school and watch the cheerleaders. They eventually arrive at her house, and Drake snoops around while Josh finds a list of things he needs to do. Before they can do anything, they find Mrs. Hayfer's dog, Tiberius, who she forgot to tell them about. He appears to be very violent and starts to chase them, so they hide in the bathroom. They try to call home with Josh's cell phone, but accidentally drop it in the toilet after fighting over the correct number. Drake tries to run out and get his phone, which he put down before when they arrived, but he drops it when running back to the bathroom and Tiberius chews it up.
Soon, Megan shows up at Mrs. Hayfer's house because Drake and Josh were supposed to pick her up after checking on the house. Tiberius becomes calm when Megan arrives, so they leave the bathroom. They tell her how violent the dog was before she arrived, so she leaves them there alone with Tiberius. An animal control officer shows up later because the neighbors had heard "girls" screaming, but hides in the bathroom with them when he sees the dog. Drake and Josh eventually work up the courage to run out of the bathroom and manage to trick Tiberius so they can escape.
When they get home, they realize their dad, Walter, isn't there. He shows up at Mrs. Hayfer's house looking for them. He finds the animal control officer still in the bathroom, and then Tiberius comes and chases him out of the house.
