- "Josh is Done".
- Drake's breakdown when his life falls apart without Josh leading to an embarrassing incident in the science room.
Drake: I need you more than you need me! I need you WAY more than you need me! I'm sorry I made you late for your exam! I'm sorry I ran over your bike! I'm sorry I'm probably the worst brother in the world, and you're way better off without me! I just need you to understand...(stammers) Sorry, Josh. I'm sorry. (leaves)- The episode as a whole is all this, considering how drastically different it is from most episodes and arguably all Dan Schneider content: Drake screws up Josh's attempt to pass an exam that causes him to drop a grade point, prompting Josh, who's finally reached his limit, to declare that he is done with Drake and will see him more as a "roommate" than a brother. Drake initially brushes it off, thinking Josh will eventually get over it. Except Josh sticks to his guns and his life gets better while Drake's begin to fall apart, which eventually leads to Drake having a very shitty day in science class (ironically the same class that Josh failed in thanks to Drake messing it up for him) and finally admit fault to Josh over what he did and tearfully breakdown that he needs Josh far more than Josh needs him.
- It goes more deeper when you watch moments of how cold Josh gets after declaring he's "done" with Drake: From refusing to interact casually with Drake to even telling security guards (who he called since Drake tried to get into a theater without a ticket out of frustration) that he didn't know who Drake was when Drake attempted to get him as an alibi.
- What makes the episode so effective is its mastery of the "Show, Don't Tell" rule. It's not what the characters say but what they don't say and how they look and act that conveys how dark and painful the situation is. Take the scene (at least 6 days into the break up) when Drake's trying to play his guitar but can't focus. Josh comes in and starts happily telling Megan all about how great his day has been. Josh acts like Drake isn't even in the room, and Drake, unlike his "everything's fine with us" attitude before, doesn't make any attempt to talk to Josh — he's learned his lesson.
- Similarly, the final scene opens on Drake, following his meltdown in Chemistry, curled up in the fetal position on the ping pong table, the epitome of a broken man. He doesn't acknowledge Megan when she comes in the room, he doesn't care she has his guitar nor that she killed a spider with it, and when she complains about him ruining her favorite past time (torturing her brothers) by not reacting, he weakly but sincerely tells her, "I'm sorry," like the only part that bothers him is that he let another sibling down. He's the very picture of a man who's given up on life and believes he deserves everything that's happened to him. It's amazing how much pain Drake Bell can convey by barely talking or moving.
- Josh's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Drake in "Dune Buggy" about how Josh Can't Get Away with Nuthin' while Drake gets him into trouble for everything. Like the above scene, it's one of the few moments in the show that's played completely serious.
- After Josh yells at Drake for getting him in trouble for wrecking the TV and lying about it and ruining the Dune Buggy, he adds "AND YOU'RE HURT!!" Even though Josh goaded Walter into tackling Drake after learning he crashed the Dune Buggy, his tone indicates he could very well be angry at Drake for getting hurt and was scared that Drake could've been more seriously injured or even killed from the crash. He's not just angry that Drake keeps getting him into trouble, he's scared and angry that Drake's attempts to get away with everything are now putting his life in danger and Josh is desperately trying to get Drake to accept responsibility for his actions before he seriously hurts himself.
- Josh's reaction when he thinks his father is cheating, which of course gets Mood Whiplashed by a kinda funny moment.
- Drake's and Josh's letter from the Christmas Special.
- Wendy's broken heart after Drake yells at her in "#1 Fan."
- Megan's broken heart when her boyfriend breaks up with her before her brothers reveal he was cheating on her. It's one of the few times we see a sad side to Megan, who after dumping her cheating boyfriend, approaches her brothers and quietly asks them to take her home.
- Depending on how sympathetic you are to her at this point, Megan being ostracized by her classmates (even being uninvited to a birthday party) because of Josh being her class's student teacher.
- The house that the show took place in was recently demolished.
- The ending of "Mindy Loves Josh", Mindy breaks up with Josh, simply because Josh couldn't say the same back and thanks to Drake terrifying him over the idea of a former school rival saying "I love you".
- While it's debatably played for laughs, it's pretty hard not to feel bad for Josh in "Two Idiots and a Baby" where he goes absolutely nuts looking for Max when he mysteriously goes missing.
