Note: This series is not meant to be identical to the original comedy, this is a bit more adult drama.
The Camera fades into the season finale episode where the 'Drake And Josh' logo is shown but is way more dark and spooky and instead glitches and says "Drake vs Josh".
Plot: With The Last Day Of School nearing, Drake tries to get his summer without Josh in order but due to Audrey's depression on her and Walter's failed wedding that was supposed to take place, Drake is forced to try to find Josh.
Drake is walking in the blazing hot San Diego streets with posters of Josh while Field Trip by Melanie Martinez plays in the background
Drake
Hey have you seen the boy?
Stranger
Sorry, no.
Drake keeps going
Drake
Hey have you seen this boy..?
Stranger 2
Sorry I haven't.
A montage of Drake asking strangers over and over if they've seen Josh plays and everyone says no causing Drake to kick dumpster
Drake
Fck!
Drake stares the busy packed city wondering if Josh is a lost cause

Drake returns home after spending hours looking for Josh, coming to the conclusion he's probably not in San Diego anymore
Drake is walking depressed in the empty quiet mansion before he slips on a piece of paper
Drake
Agh, what the fuck!
Drake picks up the piece of paper continues sitting on the floor of the mansion as he sees it has words on it
Drake (reading)
"Dear Drake"
Fate Don't Know You by Desi Valentine is playing in the background as Drake reads
"Baby I will forever and I mean forever love you. Ever since you were born all those years ago I've support you and love you. But life hasn't been easy for me son,. I've fallen victim to depression. You know I almost started getting addicted to painkillers before I met Walter and Josh?
"They saved my life"
Well…. Did.
Drake continues reading emotionally
Once Walter left I felt all that happiness I thought I was having this summer passing away. I had never cried so much in my life. This isn't even just about a man… it's just after what your real father did to you and me… The Abusive Druggy Mentally Insane Piece Of Shit! (David Parker).
It made me feel like I was the problem. Once you left a few minutes ago I felt like I was getting left by everyone.
Son I took more painkillers.
Drakes eyes start tearing up as he continues reading
I'm feeling heartburn and I think I'm about to have a heart attack… if so.
I wish I could've said this to my baby boys face but… Goodbye Drakey.
Drake begins crying out loud realizing his mother, Audrey Parker has overdosed and passed away.
Drake's falls on the floor on his back as he hyperventilates and cries… The End?

Drake (hugging his little sister)
It's gonna be okay……
Megan (sniffling but stoic)
I trust you….
As Megan leaves on to help Walter outside with the moving bus, Drake and Josh are standing alone and face to face
Drake (talking slow)
Look Man…, can we just… squash this shit?
Josh
I have been begging for us to do that since the beginning.
Drake
Well I'm ready now.
Josh looks at Drake emotionally
Drake
I need a family…. I have only 150grand to my name and I'm not even a legal adult yet.,.,
Josh sighs
Josh
Bro I want to do this Drake and Josh thing but….
Josh pausing sighing once again clearly stressed out
Josh
What is even the direction? Like me snd dad packed all are shit back to Asbury Park I'm not trying to come back here and do this hot potato. Plus summer is in four days and we have 0 direction with this random occurrence it feels like we're screwed!
Drake breathes heavily as Gotta Do Better by Ab Soul begins playing in background
Drake
Is that a yes…. Or a no.

Josh
No.
The music pressures up as Josh declines the offer leaving Drake standing looking lost and empty
Josh walks off outside leaving Drake standing in the big empty mansion alone, with no family.

Drake is standing over his room balcony, a lot of stories in the air looking depressed and menacing
Megan walks into the scene standing next to him in the evening night and sunset as the music continues playing but goes low so the dialogue is heard better
Megan (straight up)
Drake what the hell are you doing up here…
Drake
If Mom did it why can't I….
Megan sighs
Megan
Su*cide is not the answer big brother….
Drake (getting loud and aggressively)
Then why the fuck did mom do it!
Megan gets quiet not knowing how to respond to the emotional yell
Drake turns to see her sad face
Drake
I- I didn't mean to hurt you…
Megan
It's fine.
Drake smiles softly
Drake
You've always been so mischievous not showing signs of a vulnerable little girl… that's what I love about you.
Megan smiles as well as her and her brother have a face to face at the top of the balcony night
Megan
Don't do this…
Drake looks down seeing how high he is
Megan
Mom would want you to carry on her legacy.
Drake shakes his head taking that in as the music gets louder resuming
Drake slowly hugs Megan deciding to listen
"Gotta Do Better, I Gotta Do Better Today… Gotta do better before it's too late…"
