Playing the Field is the sixth episode of the third season of Drake & Josh. It aired on June 4, 2005.
Plot
Drake fears that he may soon break up with Tori (Torrey DeVitto), his most recent girlfriend. When he wants to win her love back again, Drake finds out Tori is already seeing other boys, so he goes on a date with another girl, Liza Tupper, to make Tori jealous. Josh also grows a mustache, but nobody approves of it. Megan makes jokes about it and Mindy gives Josh a razor to shave his mustache. Eventually, Mindy pays Megan $30 to shave off Josh's mustache while he sleeps. Megan is caught by Drake in the act, and is only able to shave off half of it. This leads Josh to fill in the other half with Magic Marker with the help of Mindy, making him look ridiculous.
