Complete story — includes the ending

Megan, Audrey, and Walter leave the house for the weekend. Drake and Josh's dreams of a parent-free weekend are then quickly dashed when Josh's grandmother ( Randee Heller ), whom he affectionately calls Grammy, comes to babysit. Josh is delighted to have Grammy around, however, Drake does not like her, with Grammy not being fond of Drake either. Drake then plans to attend a concert with his friends, but Grammy forbids him from going on the order of Walter and Audrey. Later, Drake finds out from his friends that the concert tickets are officially sold out, dashing their hopes of even attending the concert in the first place. However, Grammy makes a deal in which Drake can spend time with his friends if he beats her in a basketball game, so long as he does not attend the concert. Drake wins the game, but is forced to break his promise out of peer pressure when his friends suddenly manage to obtain tickets to the concert. Once there, Drake and his friends discover that their tickets have been photocopied and are therefore counterfeit, leading the kids to be detained at the venue until Grammy pays a $200 fine to release them. After an argument then ensues between them, Grammy reveals that she intentionally let Drake win their basketball game so that he could spend time with his friends. Drake does not believe her and challenges Grammy to another game, under the condition that if he wins, no one will tell Walter and Audrey about the concert incident. Grammy agrees on the condition that if Drake loses, he will personally tell his parents about the concert. Drake loses the game and prepares to tell his parents what happened. However, when Audrey and Walter come home, Grammy steps in and stops Drake from telling them. Grammy then explains that since Drake paid her back the $200 and was willing to tell his parents, that was a good enough punishment for her (Grammy instead tells Audrey and Walter that she beat Drake at basketball, leading to ridicule from Walter and Audrey towards him). Drake finally accepts Grammy as family, and they hug each other goodbye. Grammy then secretly sticks an envelope onto Drake's back, paying him back the $200 he gave her.
