19. Brotherly Shove

Complete story — includes the ending

While on vacation, Amy and Alan order Cory and Eric to clean out the garage. However, Cory decides to clean out the garage with Shawn and Topanga instead. However, Eric arrives and is heartbroken because Alan had asked them to clean out the garage together, and feels that Shawn and Topanga are more important to Cory than he is. Cory attempts to apologize to Eric but, unfortunately, he rebuffs Cory's attempts to make amends. Eric makes a suggestion to have a garage sale and split the money. The next day, Cory and Eric prepare for the Matthews' garage sale. Cory attempts to remember the happy memories with Eric, but Eric decides to sell all of their items at extremely low prices. Meanwhile, because of their bonding time together, Cory and Eric inspire Shawn and Jack to spend more time together and be more "brotherly." However, Shawn and Jack find out that they have nothing in common, and are extremely bored with each other's company. While at the sale, Cory begs Eric to talk to him, while a woman annoys and pesters Cory about a price. Eric continues to ignore Cory's attempts, and his frustration leads him to snap and insult the female customer. Her husband doesn't appreciate this and punches Cory in the face. Eric retaliates and defends his brother by punching the man all over his body and face. This leads to a huge fist fight at the garage sale. Later, while waiting in the hospital, Cory has a heart-to-heart talk with Eric and thanks him for defending him. Eric is still infuriated and says that they're brother, and not friends. While Cory is packing in the Matthews' garage, Topanga tells him of how Cory used to love spending time with Eric. Cory finally understands; Topanga tells him that he has time to make more memories living out his life before leaving. Eric, who arrives in the garage, helps Cory pack up the stuff. Meanwhile, Rachel forces Angela to do spring cleaning. Absent: William Daniels as George Feeny, Betsy Randle as Amy Matthews, Lindsay Ridgeway as Morgan Matthews, William Russ as Alan Matthews
