Complete story — includes the ending

Drake and Josh are tasked with assisting Helen after eye surgery leaves her temporarily blind. After driving her home, Drake and Josh find that Helen's apartment is filled with luxurious accessories, such as a hot tub and a huge flat-screen TV, due to Helen receiving royalties from a sitcom entitled "Happy Times", that she starred in as a child. When Helen then accidentally takes too much of her pain medication, she becomes severely drowsy and incoherent. To make matters worse, Josh then accidentally loses Helen's eye drops down her sink, forcing him to go to the pharmacy to replace them. When Drake then leaves a loopy Helen alone at her apartment, Josh runs into Drake at their home, chastising Drake for abandoning Helen in her vulnerable state. When the boys return to Helen's apartment, they find that Helen is gone, prompting a frantic search. Eventually, Josh receives a call from Megan, wherein Megan explains that she found Helen at the park and brought her to their home, after which Josh goes to retrieve her. Once Josh and Helen arrive back at Helen's apartment, however, Josh finds that Drake has taken advantage of Helen's blindness and has thrown a huge party at her apartment, much to Josh's disapproval. Helen is then called by her eye doctor informing her to take the patches off her eyes. When she does so, she finds Drake's party currently in progress. However, when Josh goes to throw Drake under the bus and tell Helen everything that happened, Helen instead believes that Drake threw the party specifically for her out of kindness, and she allows it to continue. Meanwhile, Megan pitches an idea to Helen for a bucket-shaped container that conveniently stores most movie theater snacks called "Cup-O-Stuff", whch Josh ridcules her for, believing it is impractical. Once the idea is a success, however, Megan earns $700 to Josh's dismay.
