But Drake spends $200, that they were given for food and emergencies only, on toys and other unnecessary items. Desperate for money, Drake gets the idea to turn their house into a bed and breakfast after he notices a couple who has no place to stay. Josh initially disagrees as he is furious at Drake for his greedy spending, but later agrees because they need money. Megan also agrees as long as she is treated like a guest. Things quickly get out of hand, however, when Drake invites a crowd of partying college students to stay, and when MTV starts broadcasting from their house. Audrey and Walter get suspicious when they see their house on TV, and start heading home. But with the help of Megan, Drake and Josh succeed in getting everyone out and cleaning up the house before Walter and Audrey come home. Audrey and Walter are then mistakenly arrested for hosting a televised party without a city-authorized permit. 2 22 "Peruvian Puff Pepper" Steve Hoefer Steve Holland April 9, 2005 301 Josh enters a salsa making contest and asks Drake to help him in order to win the prize, a plasma screen TV. Megan wants to help the boys win the TV, but they decline, wanting to keep the prize for themselves. Megan sabotages their salsa in retaliation, causing it to explode all over the kitchen, with the boys taking the blame. Drake and Josh, sick of getting blamed for all of Megan's pranks, try to dig up some proof of her deviousness, and discover a surveillance panel in her room, only for them to get in more trouble when the panel is hidden when they attempt to show their parents. Megan then enters the salsa contest on her own, and obtains a "Peruvian Puff Pepper," a rare pepper that could guarantee her victory, so the boys steal the pepper and use it in their salsa instead, infuriating Megan. Drake and Josh go on to win the contest, but they are disqualified when they reveal their secret, as Peruvian Puff Peppers are illegal in the United States, leaving Megan as the winner. Although she realizes that the boys think that she set them up, she convinces them she is not that smart to do that. At the end, Megan watches the boys repaint the kitchen after the earlier incident through her new TV. 3 23 "We're Married?" Steve Hoefer George Doty IV April 16, 2005 302 Josh's foreign pen pal, Yooka (Anastasia Baranova), comes to visit from her fictional country of Yudonia, and Drake takes a strong liking to her, spending more time with her than Josh can. Drake promises to back off, but he and Josh soon learn that Yooka is homesick, so they hold a Yudonian friendship ceremony, which turns out to be a marriage ceremony between Yooka and Drake. Drake tries to carry on with life as normal, but Yooka is serious about being married (revealing that they mistranslated her saying "sick of home"), and matters only get worse when Yooka's parents come to visit. So Drake and Josh come up with a plan to annul the marriage, serving her family goat (which is a sacred animal in Yudonia). But Drake quickly regrets it after he learns that Yooka's father is a billionaire. The plan works, with Yooka's father ending the marriage and their whole family returning to Yudonia, much to Drake's sadness. 4 24 "Mindy's Back" Adam Weissman Eric Friedman April 30, 2005 303 Mindy returns to school from a mental institution (following the events of her first appearance in "Honor Council"), and once again beats Josh in the science fair. With advice from Megan, Josh attempts to ignore her until Mindy picks him as a project partner. Josh is initially annoyed by this, but they eventually realize they have feelings for one another and begin to date. However, Josh is too worried to tell Drake about his newfound relationship, due to Drake and Mindy's hatred for one another. But because of this, Mindy breaks up with Josh. When Drake finally finds out, he is actually happy for Josh, and tries to get the two back together by taking Josh to Mindy's house during the night, where Josh and Mindy finally kiss through Mindy's bedroom window.

But after finding her apartment loaded with luxurious accessories such as a hot tub and a huge flat-screen TV due to Helen receiving royalties from a TV series she starred in as a child, Drake subsequently takes advantage of Helen's blindness and throws a party at her apartment, much to Josh's disapproval. However, Helen gets a call from her doctor to take the patches off her eyes and does so to find the party in progress. Helen then thinks the party is for her and allows it to continue.

Josh is concerned that the fight will ruin his chances of impressing Mindy's parents, so he makes Drake and Lucy wrestle upstairs in the bedroom, where Megan is waiting to watch the fight with a group of friends. However, during the dinner, Drake and Lucy later wrestle their way into the living room and Josh yells at Drake for ruining his plans. Mindy's parents understand how much Josh cares for their daughter and allow her and Josh to resume their relationship.

Drake and Josh are not allowed to go, because Audrey and Walter want them to stay home and watch over their great-grandfather, Papa Nichols, who is 81 years old and has had surgery that afternoon while Walter and Audrey are at the awards show. Drake calls Craig and Eric to come over and they come to watch him while he, Josh, and Megan go off to ride the Demonator. Papa Nichols wakes up disoriented, he thinks he is back in World War II and that Craig and Eric are considered to be Germans (claiming he has been captured by two German nerds), in which he proceeds to attack them and break Eric's cell phone when he thinks it's a weapon. While at Mystic Mountain, Drake, Josh, and Megan are bumped to the back of the line after Josh got back in the middle of the line upsetting the other people when he had to use the restroom. Later, Drake and Josh get bumped back again for messing with Milfred Mouse the mascot and Megan takes the opportunity to remain in line by pretending not to know them. After Megan rides the Demonator first, Drake and Josh finally get to ride the Demonator and get home just in the nick of time before Audrey and Walter come home to see how Drake and Josh did watching Papa Nichols, who wakes up and punches Walter, calling him a German. 16 36 "Alien Invasion" Will Bardelli Steve Holland March 18, 2006 316 Megan has just gotten a brand new telescope and is using Josh's laptop and Drake's leather jacket without their permission and gets them sent to their room after convincing Walter that both of them pushed her down, upsetting the boys. They hatch a plan to turn tables and prank Megan. First, they insert fake images of aliens onto the laptop screen. Megan falls for the prank and believes that aliens are invading. Drake and Josh then get Eric to adjust the electric switches in the kitchen to control the technology inside, then they frighten Megan and make her still believe aliens are real. Drake and Josh continue to try to prove to her that aliens are invading, and when Megan is left home alone one night, Drake and Josh dress as aliens and get their comeuppance on Megan. Just as Drake and Josh celebrate, a real alien shows up that turns out to be Megan's friend, and he scares Drake and Josh away, but not Megan when she realizes who he is. Leaving the boys to their own fear as payback, Megan and her alien friend then hang out together in the house as the parents come home, with the alien scaring Walter away when he discovers him. 17 37 "Dr. Phyllis Show" Steve Hoefer Anthony Del Broccolo & Eric Friedman April 8, 2006 317 Drake and Josh have been fighting a lot lately, including late at night. Megan is upset to be continually awoken by their fighting three nights in a row, so she gives them tickets to the Dr. Phyllis Show, hoping that Dr. Phyllis (Gabrielle Carteris) can end their bickering. On the show, Dr. Phyllis has the boys reminisce about fights they have had in the past. When Drake mentions that he once dated a girl named Liza Tupper, he calls her dumb and a bad kisser. Liza Tupper, however, happens to be Dr. Phyllis' daughter. The host gets mad at Drake and attacks him, then attacks Josh when he tries to stop her. Once back at the house, the boys are upset that Dr. Phyllis only made them think of the bad times they have had together, even though they have had good times as well. They reconcile, but soon end up in another argument. Megan is still upset when she hears them arguing again, so she sets off her smoke bomb to have peace and quiet.Absent: Nancy Sullivan as Audrey Parker-Nichols and Jonathan Goldstein as Walter Nichols (although in the flashbacks and clips)
