Is There an Ed in the House?

' "Is There an Ed in the House?" is the 3rd episode of 'Season 4 and the 80th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy''. In this episode, sickly Sarah finds Ed & Jimmy's competitive caring just too much to handle.

Plot
Eddy's latest idea is a portrait studio and the fact that his camera is just an old cereal box and the photos are actually hand-drawn by Ed isn't going to stop him from trying to bring in the bread. Unfortunately though, Ed can't stick around to doodle. He's got wind of the fact that his sister is sick and he's absolutely desperate to play nursemaid with Jimmy.

Ed however, soon finds that he has competition for Sarah's attention in the shape of Jimmy who certainly doesn't want Ed muscling in on his territory. This begins a bedroom power struggle as the two rivals vie to make Sarah the tastiest lunch, the fluffiest pillows and to read her the most captivating story.

Even Edd drops by to diagnose and its all very well, comfirming a mild cold. Eddy is quick to remind him they ain't getting rich in the meantime. So germ-spreading Sarah is rigged up with an 'Ed Alert' system (a bell) and Eddy drags his pals back to work at their newest venture, 'Eds Driving School'. Midway through, Edd becomes a sweating nervous wreck. Ed finally stands up to Sarah kicking Jimmy out of the house and demanding she rests. Sarah then fake cries to lower Ed's guard, and then proceeded to beat him up. It is then revealed Edd caught Sarah's Cold, and Jimmy leads him away to take care of him much to his protest. With no one to help Eddy with his scam and Ed getting tortured, he gives up and wonders what's on TV.
