Complete story — includes the ending
It is near Halloween and Cory dresses up like a clown taking the phrase "Class Clown" too literally. Mr. Feeny returns graded book reports. Cory attempts to protest his grade comparing himself to Minkus; this causes Cory to get himself into detention. Shawn and Cory both are in detention and come across an I.Q. answer key. Cory cheats and memorizes the scores and gets a high grade on the test. Mr. Feeny gets suspicious because Cory scored even higher than Minkus (who always scores the highest). He sends home a note for Alan and Amy, but Shawn convinces Cory to keep up his act. His parents know the truth, but refuse to accuse Cory in hopes that he will admit the truth. Meanwhile, Eric bought Morgan a Halloween costume as a Zombie. Amy disagrees with the costume, Morgan, Alan, and Eric are enthusiastic about it. Cory tells Shawn that he is starting to become guilty for lying to his parents. At school, Mr. Feeny gives Cory a final chance to admit the truth before telling him he would be transferred to a school full of prodigies and no sports. Cory doesn't admit and Mr. Feeny tells him that he'll get what he deserves. After school, a woman from the gifted school gives Cory a test, and Shawn tells him to fail the test on purpose so he won't have to go to the school. Cory admits to his parents that he cheated on the I.Q. test. Alan and Amy ground Cory for two weeks but let him go trick-or-treating and advise him not to be something he is not. Cory gives up the title of class clown to Mr. Feeny, and realizes why he is harder on Cory than on students who score the same on tests. In the post-credits, Mr. Feeny went to the Matthews house to ask for some candy, and two boys who are trick-or-treating tell Mr. Feeny that he is the best teacher ever. Mr. Feeny is convinced that it is Cory but is mistaken. After he leaves, the two boys are revealed to be Cory and Shawn, and Cory says "And they think I'm not a genius!"
