Drew & Jerry is the thirteenth episode of the second season of Drake & Josh.

Synopsis

Josh makes friends with a boy called Drew who looks a lot like Drake. Then, feeling left out of proceedings, Drake befriends a boy called Jerry who looks and acts just like Josh.

Plot

In the opening comments, Drake and Josh talk about how they hang out with each other all the time, with Josh being so happy about it while Drake is annoyed and restless by it.

Megan is relaxing in Drake and Josh's room watching TV as Drake tells her to leave so that way he can relax on the couch. Drake gives her $40 as Megan would leave Drake and Josh's room. When Josh comes in the room, Drake tells him that he wants to spend time alone for the night.

Josh comes home and begins hanging out with Drew (a teenager who looks and acts like Drake). Josh introduces Drake to Drew while he and Drew reminisce of magic. Drew buys a new video game and gives Drake the last piece of his snack leaving Drake behind. Drake brings a trash dog to his and Josh's room and uses it to wake up and prank Josh. Drake reveals to Josh that he found a dog outside. Josh tells Drake that he's late because he was suppose to meet Drew for a virtual snowboarding game. When Josh leaves, Drake decided to spend time along with the trash dog, but the trash dog leaves and ignores Drake as he has extra trash. Megan is downstairs watching TV and Drake comes up to her what they have planned for the day. Drake decided to take her to The Premiere for a drink while Megan feels bored. Drake comes home for dinner and tells his parents that he invited new friend named Jerry, (a teenager who looks and acts like Josh). Megan uses a microphone to pick up Josh and Drew to go downstairs for dinner while she didn't care about Drake's concern. Everyone is having dinner and watching TV in the living room with Drew as Jerry arrives at Drake and Josh's house for dinner.

The boys are telling jokes while Jerry is having his conversation during dinner. When Josh goes to the kitchen to pick up the rolls from the oven, Megan tells him that Drake is trying to replace him with Jerry. As Josh gets ready to go to bed, he gets surprised by Jerry who is sleeping in his bed. Drake allows Jerry to sleep in Josh's bed as he has lumber problems. Megan goes down to the kitchen and Drake picks her up and kisses her, much to Megan's disgust. Josh meets up with Drake for breakfast and have a conversation about their plan. He and Drew leave as they get ready to go out.

Drake arrives at the Premiere and tells Josh that he and Jerry want deep-sea fishing. Josh then tells Drake that he and Drew saw a movie together. Drake shows Josh that he caught a big fish while he was deep-sea fishing with Jerry, much to Josh's shock. Drake and Josh get fed up with each other as Drew and Jerry would show off their talents. Jerry cuts a little girl's ponytail and puts it back on her magically. Drew plays his saxophone and Jerry shows his dance to it which draws the attention of a television producer. The television producer offers them parts in a show about two brothers (which ends up early which is similar to Drake and Josh). After that, Drake and Josh eventually reconcile and become brothers again. At home, Drake and Josh are relaxing in their room as they began watching the new show titled "Drew & Jerry".

During the end credits, Drew and Jerry end up having their own show together.

Trivia

• Jerry quotes Josh from season 1 twice in this episode.
  • Jerry says "I have lumbar problems." after Josh wonders why Jerry has to sleep in his bed. Josh said the exact same thing in Pilot.
  • Josh says, "Headaches! You give me Headaches!" to Drake in First Crush. Jerry says "Stomachaches! You give me stomachaches!" to Drew in the episode of Drew & Jerry that Drake and Josh watch.
• There are a couple of references to the episode Pool Shark:
  • Drake tells Josh that Jerry is the best pool player he has ever seen, with Josh replying that he himself also plays pool.
  • Drew and Jerry also quote lines from said episode in the show that they star in. In Pool Shark, Josh says, "I thought you meant you were sorry you gambled, and you weren't going to do it anymore." Drake then says "No, I meant I was sorry that I didn't tell you I was gambling, and I definitely want to do it some more." In this episode, Jerry says "But I thought you meant that you were sorry that you cheated on the test, and you weren't going to do it anymore.". Drew then says "No, I'm sorry I got caught and I'm definitely going to do it some more." in the episode that Drake and Josh watch at the end of the episode.
    • Additionally, the end credits scene also parodies the scene after Drake and Josh fight about playing pool again, with Jerry accidentally stumbling on the floor, prior to telling Drew, "I may have stumbled, but that does not lessen the significance of this departure!", which in turn quotes Josh's line, "I may have tripped, but that does not diminish the impact of this exit!" in Pool Shark.
  • Also, the opening scene is rather similar to the one of Pool Shark, with Drake complaining about spending time with Josh, who is loving it.
• The episode's title is an obvious pun on the show itself, but it’s also a pun on Tom and Jerry (violent cartoon which made its debut in the theaters in the '40s by Metro-Goldwyn Mayer).
• A show called Canadian Idol is mentioned, which was an actual reality competition.
• Drake and Josh break the fourth wall when they talk about the show Drew and Jerry are going to be on, Drake says, "what a dumb idea for a show" and Josh replies "yeah, who would watch it", referring to this same show.
• This episode is similar to the iCarly episode iLook Alike because of the main characters using lookalikes to take someone else's place.
• This episode appears as a flashback on Dr. Phyllis Show.
• The video game controller Drake is using in the opening is an Intec Pro Mini 2 Racing Wheel for Xbox.

Goofs

• When Drake takes Megan out, she calls him Drew by accident.
• Josh says to Jerry that he plays pool too, however in the episode Pool Shark, after finding Drake's gambling issues and hustling, he swore not to play again. It is possible that he probably took up pool again since he did teach Drake a lesson about hustling and Drake actually stayed true to never hustling anyone again.
• Drake asks for some Dr. Fizz but Walter said that Drew got the last of it. Shortly after, Josh walks into the kitchen and a 34 of a bottle of Dr. Fizz is on the kitchen counter.
• When Drake gets drinks for both him and Megan at The Premiere, he says he gets a root beer for Megan which she hates and a Dr. Fizz for himself, but if you look really closely, you can tell that the movie theater cups are empty and don't have anything in them.
• Jerry says that he plays a lot of pool at The Premiere and Josh tells him he plays that game too, but the pool table is not seen at The Premiere in this episode or in any other episodes. Though it's likely that the aforementioned pool table only shows up in the theater every now and then.
