Heartbreak Cody

Plot
Cody and Shawn are very excited for their senior ski trip to the mountains so they can have a romantic weekend with their girlfriends. Their plans are ruined, however, when Cody sprains his ankle stepping off the bus. He cannot ski, but tells Kesley to go out and have fun. Alone in the lodge because everyone else is skiing, Cody bonds with the employee there, Lauren. They hang out all day, working on a puzzle to which Lauren gives Cody a piece (which she calls his "own piece of the mountain"). Confronted on it by Shawn, Cody says it meant nothing. Even so, he pockets the puzzle piece.

Later that night, Cody, Shawn, Kesley, and Angela are playing a game about being couples. They invite Lauren to play, and she sits next to Cody. Between Kesley and Lauren, Cody is very uncomfortable, stuttering and sweating, even more when Lauren asks him a question about how he'd act if he had an affair. After the game, Shawn, Angela, and Kelsey go to bed, but Cody decides to stay up talking to Lauren. Together, they watch the moon rise and the stars over the mountains. Cody loses track of time, and Feeny informs Cody hours later that he's talked through the night.

Lauren points out that Cody's ankle is better, but when Kesley asks him if he can ski, he says he thinks he should stay off it. He takes the opportunity to tell Lauren that he loves Topanga and nothing could happen between them. Lauren walks away, and Shawn enters, calling Cofy on his lies. Cody promises that nothing happened, and that there is nothing to tell Kesley.

Later on, though, Cody and Lauren talk again. Lauren says she didn't finish talking before and tells Cody that she likes him. She then kisses him & walks away. Shawn tells Cody that he shouldn't tell Kesley about the kiss because she wouldn't forgive him for it. Feeling guilty, Cody confesses anyways to Kesley that his ankle was fine and he could have gone skiing, but that he chose to stay up all night talking to Lauren but that it meant nothing. Kesley is slightly mad, but is relieved when Cody lies and says nothing else happened.

Before leaving, Lauren writes Cody a note telling him of her feelings and puts it in a side pouch of his bag. Cody wishes her goodbye and exits. Outside, he and Kesley agree to sit together on the bus and talk the whole way. He then says he'll take the bags and load them on the bus, but the letter falls out of his bag, which Kesley picks up.
