Original Air Date: 12/17/00
Reese finally figured out a way to beat the snot out of people without getting in trouble. He joined the wrestling team and he was actually good at it. We were just getting used to the whole "being proud of Reese" thing, when it completely fell apart. In the middle of this big match, Reese had to wrestle a girl, which normally wouldn't be a big deal, except that he lost. And he didn't just lose, but he got totally humiliated in front of the entire school. I felt bad, but at the same time, it gave me material for years to come.
Everyone at school thought Reese would overcompensate by being extra mean, but the opposite happened. Reese had this spiritual awakening or something, and became really nice. He said that without the glory of wrestling, he needed a new way to make people proud of him. I couldn't believe Reese was going soft -- and neither could everyone at school. For a little while, it was amazing. No lunches were stolen. No Krelboynes were terrorized. School was actually fun. I should've known it was too good to last.
Without Reese around, new bullies stepped in to fill the void. And for some reason, I was their prime target. I guess they had mistaken my humor for insults over the years. I thought I was being funny. Lloyd said I was more, like, caustic, arrogant, bitter and sarcastic. Who, me? Being held upside down with my head in the trash really helped me realize that I was getting laughs at other people's expense.
After Dad gave me some lame pep talk about making amends, I tried apologizing to all the kids I'd made jokes about. That completely backfired; plus, the playground was in total anarchy anyway. Everyone was a bully and it was open season on Krelboynes. Meanwhile, Reese was selling his material possessions and planning to join a cult. Luckily, the Krelboynes convinced him that the only way to restore the school's power structure was if Reese reinstated his reign of terror. When he saw Stevie getting harassed, something in Reese just snapped. Three punches, two stomps and one knockout later, he had single-handedly restored order -- and realized his true calling as the school's alpha bully.
