[edit] Synopsis

At a work study program, Cory and Shawn work together in the mailroom under Phil, who has been working there for many years. However, when Shawn picks up a phone and charms an angry client, he is promoted by Mr. Morris, the CEO of the company. Cory complains that Shawn is in over his head, but is jealous nonetheless. He imitates Shawn, picking up a ringing phone that isn't for him, but only angers the client and is fired. Shawn manages to get a job back for Cory, but it is only as a janitor. During a dinner that Cory and Topanga had planned with Shawn and Angela, the truth of Cory's job comes out. Shawn explains that it feels good doing something well for once, and Cory feels bad for feeling jealous and apologizes.

Meanwhile, Eric urges Amy to go out and find something to do because all she does is sit around the house. He is displeased, though, when she shows up in his Creative Writing course with Jack and shares sensual stories about her and Alan. Eric urges her to find something else to do, and even though she is bothered by it, decides to drop the class. When Eric has a change of heart, he urges Amy to stay because she is a talented writer and deserves it.
