Complete story — includes the ending

Drake discovers that Josh is insanely talented at pool, due to Josh using his knowledge of geometry and physics in order to play the game. Drake then decides to take advantage of this, using Josh to hustle several people behind his back, after being inspired by Megan, who herself hustled Drake while playing darts. After several people complain to him about Drake's gambling at their expense, Josh eventually finds out the truth. He furiously vows never to play pool again, especially after Drake reveals that he still intends to hustle more people should they play again. Meanwhile, Walter sends Drake and Josh out to find a new birthday present for Audrey after she buys the same bracelet he originally planned to give her. On the way, they come across a pool hall, and Josh reluctantly agrees to play pool and let Drake hustle their opponents, on the condition that this will be the last time they ever do so. The brothers then have a match with two thugs, betting $200 (the exact money Walter gave the boys for Audrey's present). When Josh wins, the thugs accuse the boys of hustling and threaten them. A frightened Drake then apologizes and vows to never hustle anyone again. Josh then reveals that this was all a setup by him and his former camp counselors (disguised as thugs) in order to teach Drake a lesson about hustling.
