Key to My Ed

"Key to My Ed" is the 14th episode of Season 2 and the 40th episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy. In this episode the Eds find a key and try to find what the key unlocks.

Plot
Double D's latest experiment is creating a soda that never loses its fizz. Eddy is eager to get a taste, ignoring Edd's insists that it's still in the planning stage. This doesn't stop Ed from jumping in and drinking the experimental soda. The soda reacts by sending Ed out of the house, flying through the air over half of the cul-de-sac. After Edd and Eddy follow Ed until he lands in a yard, Edd finds a key. Edd is interested in returning the key to its rightful owner whereas Ed thinks it holds a more sinister secret and Eddy sees it as an opportunity to discover cash.

But the Eds can't find anything that the key will open. It doesn't fit in any door or box they can find and it won't open Jimmy's retainer. Eddy concludes that the real way to find out what the key opens is to exploit the person who has lost it. He sends everyone an anonymous "We have what you lost. If you want it back, be in the lane at 3 o'clock and bring a bag of jawbreakers" flavor letter. This brings surprising results as it seems every kid in the cul-de-sac thinks one of the others has stolen something of theirs and they're too busy trying to get it back to bother with the Eds and their key. Caught off guard, the Eds are left wide open to attack from the Kankers. They run to Ed's house, but the door is locked. Ed nonchalantly claims that he had a key, but it fell out of a hole in his pocket. Eddy realizes the key was Ed's own house key the whole time! Sadly, the Eds are not fast enough to enter the house, leaving them to be captured by the Kanker Sisters, and forced to endure a round of "footsies."

It's our responsibility to see that this key returns to its forsaken owner so life can-" [the key flings into the gap in Edd's teeth] "Mortified? Yes. But I won't let myself fall prey to such shallow emotion. Not now. [continues talking through shift in scenes] There's a fellow human crying for help, trying to mend the unraveled ball of yarn handed to them. Maybe that's the kind of world you wish to live in, Eddy, where the unyielding and the indifferent supersede the benevolent. I say-" Eddy: "SHUT UP, DOUBLE D! Ed, you understand anything Double D said?!" Ed: "Pass the mustard!" Edd: "There's no need for you to raise your voice, Eddy." Eddy: "You're right Double D, I'm sorry."
