A Case of Ed



"A Case of Ed" is a season 4 episode of Ed, Edd n Eddy, in which Edd is led to believe he has a terrible disease and has a few hours to live.

Plot
Eddy feels very lucky in this episode because Kevin has been grounded. Since Kevin is stuck indoors he can only glare and threaten from his window at home as Eddy and Ed torment him right outside his window. Ed and Eddy toilet-papered every flat surface available.

In the midst of this dubious fun Edd returns from the library where they were having a sale on a lot of very strange books. Ed is interested by some of the titles, but Eddy's more interested in messing with Kevin, until Edd reads out a couple of symptoms refering to some strange disease from one of his books and Ed remarks that they sound a familiar. Edd admits that the symptoms do sound a lot like him but he is sure they're just coincidental. But Eddy knows just how gullible Double D can be and can't resist messing with him about it. One symptom soon leads to another. All of a sudden, his knees start to shake, and he tells Eddy that he thinks he has the dreaded Lackadaisycathro Disease. He gets an ice pack, turns white, takes a thermometer, and adorns a medical robe all because of the symptons.

As Edd wanders about weeping and writing his will, he gives away all his worldly possessions. Eddy & Ed, laughing until they are about to burst, are suddenly afraid that Kevin might be getting lonely and go back to tormenting him. It's been a good day for those two but retribution is on its way, because down in the alley Nazz is explaining to Double D that he's been had. As Edd realizes he isn't sick he gets really angry. And when Kevin's let out of his curfew early for good behavior he decides he can get his revenge by letting Kevin give Ed and Eddy their "treatment".
