[edit] Synopsis
Mr. Feeny has assigned a project in which students pair up and form a fictional business, and log its progress over the course of a week. Whoever can turn their $1,000 into the highest amount, wins the assignment. Minkus, sure that he and Topanga can beat Cory and Shawn, bets a real $10 on it.
Shawn decides to ask his Uncle Frank to let him bet on a horserace using the ten dollars, with Cory eager at the idea. Their horse Tuna Melt wins, turning their $10 into $99. Estatic, Cory decides that with a big risk comes a big reward, and bets the $99 on a horse called Neck Flap.
Although Cory soon becomes resigned at the very likely possibility they lost, Shawn soon reports that they won. Feeling good taking risks, he decides to leave Morgan home alone when he hears about a baseball star at the local pizza place. Morgan, loving the freedom of being unsupervised, carelessly knocks over a pedestal and breaks a window.
Cory arives home, happy that he and Shawn got their baseball cards signed, when he sees the broken window with Morgan's doll lying nearby. Unable to find her in the house, he comes to the conclusion she has been kidnapped. He goes to Mr. Feeny for help, and is informed Morgan is merely in the treehouse.
He enters the treehouse to find Morgan. He reasures her that she won't get in trouble, saying that it was his fault because he left her alone. He reads her to sleep, and later pays for the damages with his winnings. Cory and Shawn win Feeny's assignment, and Feeny notes that with big risk comes big reward. Cory, however, points out that you should never bet anything you can't afford to lose.
Meanwhile, Alan and Amy have been leaving each other romantic messages as Valentine's Day approaches. Amy finally tells Alan to meet her at the place he proposed, however, they go to two different resteraunts. Amy becomes angry at Alan for forgetting such an important thing, but realizes that the place she went to was where she was proposed to by a previous boyfriend.
