Ed... Pass it On...

"Ed... Pass it On..." is the 20th episode of Season 3 and the 72nd episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode, Eddy starts a rumor that his brother is coming back to the Cul-de-Sac, but it's his "big brother" who's watching that gets the last laugh.

Plot
The Eds' latest venture is slightly over-ambitious in that they open up a restaurant (called Ponce Da La Ed) serving up such delights as 'Ed Turkey Ala King', 'Salad a la Double Dee' and 'Eddy Pizza'. They do attract quite a few customers with their gourmet food, but unfortunately Ed serves himself up as an Ed Turkey Ala King complete with pan juices and cutlets frills and even pouring stuffing on himself. This is enough to have everyone put down their napkins and walk out wholesale.

Eddy can't understand it, scams like this one always worked for his brother so why did it fail for him? Obviously it's a question of respect as when his big brother was around the awe and respect the others felt towards him rubbed off on little brother Eddy too, so suppose his brother were to be suddenly coming back! Eddy then suddenly gets an idea (with a mallet dubbed "IDEA" literally hitting him on the head) and decides to intimidate everybody and get some respect by claiming that his brother is coming home.

What starts as the harmless germ of an idea quickly blossoms into a full-blown rumor with Eddy enjoying the mixture of anticipation and palpitations the arrival of his almost legendary elder sibling invokes. Edd's not happy about it, it doesn't seem right but when even prickly Kevin is amenable, Nazz is all ears and Rolf is prepared to grovel for the sake of his chickens there's no way Eddy's going to stop the music now. The truth about his brother's coming home doesn't really seem to bother him… but perhaps it should. Soon he tries to make up more lies about his brother coming back to try to prevent the kids from trying to get revenge on him for lying about what he was doing. He then suddenly appears in Eddy's closet and Eddy pleads mercy. His brother orders him to get a sundae for him. Eddy protests on his brother being lactose intolerant, but the threatening from his brother's fist is enough to get all three Eds running out to make the sundae. His "brother" steps out of the closet only to reveal that it is Sarah and Jimmy in disguise. Sarah crashes into the door and is knocked off of the disguise. She gets angry at Jimmy for that, but he states it is the stilts causing it. Suddenly Ed arrives and seemingly catches them, but just simply asks what the ice cream flavor he wants. Sarah then clears her throat and states (in a deep voice) it is chocolate. Ed then runs off to tell the others. Sarah and Jimmy then laugh at this with the former claiming that brothers are such idiots as the episode irises in.
