grows to believe that Chase’s efforts are genuine. Eventually, even the Weber parents welcome Chase into their home as Chase and Shoshanna share a deepening friendship.

Bear and Aaron are annoyed that Chase can’t remember their previous friendship, and they don’t like the new version of their old friend. Determined to jog Chase’s memory, the two concoct a plan to remind Chase of his old life. While Brendan films with the video club in the music room at school, Bear and Aaron burst in, spraying everything down with fire extinguishers and knocking instruments all over the room. Kimberly, a recent addition to the club who fawns over Chase, runs to retrieve Chase, who is taking a test in another room. When Chase enters, Aaron loudly tells the room that this scene was Chase’s plan. Chase appears stunned by what he sees and then scuffles with his former friends over the fire extinguisher. In the scuffle, the fire extinguisher slams into Joel’s face as teachers rush in to break up the scene.

Chase, Bear, and Aaron sit outside the principal’s office as Bear and Aaron begin laughing at what they’ve done to “the poor Geek Squad.” Chase is horrified as he realizes that his old friends have framed him to take the blame. When questioned, Bear and Aaron concoct a story that they had rushed into the room with fire extinguishers because they smelled smoke. The principal turns to Chase to verify this story, and Chase finds that it’s easier to simply go along with what his former friends have said. Seemingly relieved, the principal lets the three boys go with only a lecture about proper fire safety protocols.

Chase’s friends in video club realize he has lied, and Mrs. DeLeo, who is the sponsor of the club, informs Chase that he can no longer be part of the group. She mentions that the Weber family is “pretty rattled” over the incident, particularly because Joel had received yet another injury because of Chase’s direct actions. Meanwhile, Chase’s father, a former football star himself, finds a doctor who agrees to clear Chase’s return to football following his head trauma. Chase isn’t thrilled and worries that returning to football will somehow make him regress to the way he was before the accident. He doesn’t want to be that boy anymore.

Brendan finds the video footage of the fire extinguisher incident and realizes that Chase had hit Joel on accident during the struggle. He organizes a meeting for the group so that he can share this information with them. At home, Chase suddenly recalls a horrific memory and realizes that he was the one who stole Mr. Solway’s Medal of Honor; he was hiding the medal under some shingles on the roof of his mother’s house when he slipped and fell, triggering his amnesia. Chase rushes to the assisted living residence, determined to return the medal to Mr. Solway as quickly as possible.

At the assisted living residence, Chase runs into Aaron and Bear. When they learn that he has the medal, they remind him that two-thirds of it belongs to them; the boys hope to sell the medal for a substantial amount of money. Chase refuses to relinquish the medal, even vacuuming it up so that they can’t grab it. In the ensuing physical altercation, Mr. Solway slams his walker into Aaron just before Aaron hits Chase in the head with the vacuum. Chase confesses to Mr. Solway that he stole the Medal of Honor before the accident, and the nurse on duty calls the police.

Chase is forced to appear in court for his crime. Surprisingly, a great number of character witnesses appear on his behalf. Just before Chase is sentenced to a juvenile detention center, Mr. Solway appears and insists that there was no crime; instead, he claims that he had simply allowed Chase to borrow his medal for a while.

Chase returns to football and to video club, and he begins recalling bits of his life before the accident. He continues to be a kind person despite returning to football and recalling the person he was before the accident.
