We're Married? is the third episode of the third season of Drake & Josh.
Synopsis
Josh gets himself into a fix when he arranges what he thinks is a friendship ceremony to make his homesick e-pal feel better, but learns that he has actually performed a real marriage ceremony.
Plot
Josh's foreign e-pal, Yooka from Yudonia (Anastasia Baranova), visits his house.
However, throughout Yooka's visit to America, Drake is shown hanging out with Yooka all day long (although he was trying to show Yooka the American culture), With Josh annoyed by this, He tells Drake to leave Yooka alone, which Drake agrees.
However, Drake and Josh soon learn that she is homesick through translation (though she actually said 'sick of home', and Josh mistranslated it), and Josh gets a man to perform a "friendship ceremony" to make Yooka more at home. However, the "friendship ceremony" turns out to be a wedding ceremony, and Drake and Yooka are now married.
At first, Drake's excited about being married to Yooka, but soon gets tired of the married life, and plots with Josh to end his and Yooka's marriage. Yooka's parents come to San Diego to meet their new son-in-law, and Drake starts having second thoughts about ending the marriage when he learns that Yooka's parents are billionaires. Walter and Audrey are upset about Drake marrying Yooka but Walter suggests having Drake annul the marriage. Josh tried but he explains that he called the embassy on the phone whereas the marriage can't be annulled unless the husband and wife agree. As part of the plan to end Drake and Yooka's marriage, Josh serves up meatballs that he claims are made from goat meat, which makes Yooka and her parents mad, because Yooka has previously explained to the brothers that goats are considered sacred in Yudonia. Josh claims that it was Drake's idea, which ultimately results in Yooka's parents ending their daughter's "marriage" to Drake, much to his dismay and sadness, now that he realized that his plan to get rid of Yooka was a bad idea while Josh, Megan, Walter, and Audrey watched in disbelief.
In the epilogue, it turns out that Josh and Yooka are still friends/e-pals, and Josh has gotten another email from Yooka--in the email she sends to Josh, Yooka reveals that she has a new boyfriend now (named "Achboo"), to whom she is now engaged. Also in the email, Yooka explains that Achboo is a huge fan of American-baseball and her father had bought him the Boston Red Sox as a gift. After Drake hears this, he just sobs over losing Yooka.

Trivia
- The supposedly made-up word that Yooka's mother says ("Boosha!") caused a little controversy because it actually means "bullshit" in another language. The writers claimed they had no idea what the word meant because they just made it up.
- It's possible that Yudonia might be near Russia, because of the accents of Yooka and her parents sound Russian. Also actress Anastasia Baranova was born in Moscow, Russia.
- Irony: Neither of the things Drake mentions are "American". Sushi is from Japan and Mexican food is from Mexico. Although the dishes normally served in Mexican and sushi restaurants tend to be different from their actual counterparts in their countries of origin. So in a way, Drake would have been showing Yooka something "American" by taking her to a sushi or Mexican restaurant.
- This is the only episode where Walter appears in an opening segment with Drake & Josh.
- Audrey can be heard in the Dune Buggy opening segment in season 2.
- This is Crazy Steve's first, and only, season 3 appearance.
- Although Josh said that the meatballs were made from goat meat, it's entirely possible that he was lying--since Yooka had explained that goats are considered sacred in her home country, it's very likely that he just made it up to make Yooka and her family mad and end her and Drake's "marriage."
- The movie Ick Glockmah can also be seen in iCarly in the episode, iQ, when Carly was on a date with Kyle.
- The episode was included on TEENick Picks Vol. 1.
- The lyrics for the Yudonian folk song are "Efanshnai! Efanshnai! Diga dai Oundah Efanshnai!", which is a different version of the American Christmas carol, "Jingle Bells."
Goofs
- In the beginning of this episode, Drake is playing his guitar, and it sounds loud and distorted, but it is not even plugged in.
- Yooka and her parents wouldn't be legally permitted to end the marriage. Josh said the marriage can't be annulled unless the husband and wife both agree to do so. While Yooka agreed to end the marriage, Drake clearly did not after hearing how rich Yooka's parents are. Therefore, the marriage shouldn't have been annulled since Drake and Yooka still haven't clearly agreed to do so, even by the end of the episode.
- Legally, however, Drake and Yooka could not be officially married as they are minors in the state of California and did not receive permission from either set of parents and as witnesses to the marriage, making the marriage invalid anyway.
- When Josh sings the Yudonian folk song to Yooka, the camera is moved in a different position and doesn't match when he does it in the theme song because in the theme song, the camera is directly in front of him and facing him, although the dance moves are still the same.
- After the scene where a girl hits Drake in the face with her purse, the camera is showing outside Drake and Josh's house and it zooms directly to their front door but when the arrow transition opens to the next scene, it opens to their room.
- When Drake comes home after rehearsing with his band, it's the afternoon and he says "Man, what a night I'm so wrecked", but he says that in the daytime and it's not even nighttime yet.
