    Santo Domingo isn't big enough for two Parker Lewis sized egos...

    Parker doesn't seem to have any real competition throughout his High School career. Then a transfer student, Matt Stiles, threatens to steal Parker's glory. A classic one-oneupmanship follows as Parker loses his grip on the control over Santo Domingo. It's a trip as with every turn you can't imagine Parker's world falling apart any more and yet it does. The more he tries to outdo Matt he has to rethink his strategy before he completely fades from the spotlight at Santo Domingo. A clever plot overall as the ending is hard to predict. Even Musso is under Matt Stiles spell along with everyone at Santo Domingo. I'd recommend this episode as it begs the question, Can Parker Lewis actually lose?
