He accepts, but a less-than-positive reaction from his parents prompts them to sneak off to elope, while Eric and Jack get a new roommate named Rachel, who they immediately start competing for.
On the first day of college, an ambitious Cory fills his schedule with tough courses, but quickly cracks under the pressure – and flees to Mr. Feeny's side in Wyoming for help.
After a director has Shawn and Topanga kiss while making a film, Cory, certain the duo has been secretly harboring romantic feelings for one another, directs them to go on a date, and explore their true emotions.
Meanwhile, Rachel, currently working on a term paper dealing with how women influence male bonding, observes Eric and Jack's off-the-wall behavior, with cool amusement.
Topanga wants to let well enough alone, but Cory misses no opportunity to bring his friends together, but the consequences are not exactly what he wants: after they finally kiss, Angela expresses her love for Shawn, but he protests that he is "not ready" to make the same commitment, and she storms off for good.
Meanwhile, Eric takes his store Santa Claus job a little too seriously when he convinces Rachel and Jack to help him "steal" his family's gifts, in order to make under-privileged children happy.
Guest stars: Dorien Wilson as Manager, Patrick Cranshaw as Custodian, JB Gaynor as Tommy, Jake Sakson as Edgar, Penny Bae Bridges as Lucy Shawn and Angela draw up a restraining order that forbids Cory and Topanga from any further interference in their romantic lives, but Shawn still has a difficult time seeing Angela date someone else – especially when they all wind up at the same restaurant together.
Shawn reveals that his anger at his father is partly fear that his own apparent inability to connect emotionally is inherited, and it appears a reconciliation might take place – then Chet has a second heart attack, and dies.
Then, Jack, who has been struggling to contain his own grief in deference to Shawn's feelings, falls apart, and cries helplessly in Rachel's arms – and Eric walks in to find them kissing passionately.
Meanwhile, Shawn is still "on the road to nowhere"; Morgan is less than happy about the arrival of a new sibling; and Jack and Rachel worry about the effects of revealing their new relationship to Eric – who announces that he already knows, and is moving out.
While everyone anxiously awaits news about newly-born Joshua Gabriel, Cory's continued self-absorption alienates Topanga, who now considers herself to be a full-fledged member of the Matthews family.

Stevens as Eddie, Nia Vardalos as Mrs. Gallagher, Marci Brickhouse as Jessie, Charles Stevenson, Jr. as Minister The series returns to form as Cory and Shawn unite for the last time as a "bad boy" team to help Mr. Feeny, whose hesitation in declaring his feelings for Dean Bolander looks like a fatal mistake when her ex-husband, Curtis Kinkade, returns from an expedition bent on winning her back.
Shawn and Cory trash the interloper's lab, and blame it on a jealous rage by Feeny – who then saves Dean Bolander's life for real (and wins her heart) by swatting the rare bee brought back by Curtis, just before it stings her.

McCarthy as Curtis Kinkade, Sandra Gould as Little Old Lady, Lillian Adams as Mrs. Furlong, Mildred Dumas as Mrs. Bertelson When Cory and Topanga make an agreement to tell the truth about everything and everyone, their "total-honesty" pact creates tension at Rachel and Jack's first dinner party.
