While at school, Dave and his friends are informed by Ned that Nicole and Chris have broken up, and witnesses Eddie asking Nicole if she wants to get ice cream with him later, to which she agrees. After school, while playing video games at Eddie's house, Dave then asks Eddie how his girlfriend Alison would feel if she knew Eddie was going out for ice cream with a girl he used to have a crush on, only for Eddie to tell Dave that Alison doesn't know about that. Eddie and Dave then talk with the rest of their friends, and while Brian suggests that Eddie just tell Alison about his old crush, Eddie responds that since he didn't tell her about it to begin with, it would seem like he's hiding something if he divulges it now. The group then spend the day making sure the girls don't meet, although Dave points out that the girls' bathroom is the one place that is out of their reach. They then witness Alison and Nicole together, with Alison revealing to Eddie that she met Nicole in the girls' bathroom and that she understands why Eddie used to have a crush on her.

However, as Alison claims that they don't need to worry about old crushes, she reveals that she used to have a crush on Dave after witnessing him pet a squirrel. Jealous, Eddie witnesses Alison and Dave talking the next day as Dave is setting a squirrel trap and informs Alison that the squirrel that she thought Dave was petting had actually bit him, hence the trap, and adds that Dave probably should have created a "Dad trap" to ensnare his absent father, while also outing Dave's infatuation with Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin. Dave storms off, calling Eddie out for his cheap move and prompting Alison to berate his actions. After Eddie claims that Dave and Alison hanging out is a bad idea, Nicole then walks by and asks Eddie if they're still on for ice cream, causing Alison to point out the hypocrisy in Eddie's actions. Eddie then goes out for ice cream with Dave instead, apologizing for what he had done and claiming that he had done so because he was jealous and couldn't yet comprehend and accept the fact that Alison liked him.[1]

Dave speaking with Eddie

Dave is sitting at the lunch table with his friends when Eddie returns to sit with them after hanging out with his girlfriend, Tina Masterson. Walter mentions that Eddie's six months with Tina breaks his dating record by six months, and listens to Eddie as he talks about how he does not want his mother Jessica or Tina to meet. Shortly after, Dave once again sits with his friends for lunch when Eddie discusses how Jessica and Tina becoming friends is much more worse than them hating one another, with Dave referring to the situation as one of life's curveballs.[2]
