Ep 8. Just Desserts

Just Desserts is the eighth episode of the first season of Cory In The House. The show revolves around the life of Cory Baxter, who moves to Washington, D.C. with his father after his father gets a job as the White House chef. Cory becomes friends with the President's daughter, Sophie, and they get into various adventures together.

In this episode, Cory is ecstatic because he has been invited to participate in a dessert competition. He hopes to win the competition and have his dessert served at the President's dinner party. Cory has been working on his dessert for weeks and he finally nails the recipe. However, when he gets to the competition, he realizes that everyone else has brought extravagant and over-the-top desserts. Cory starts to feel insecure about his simple dessert and becomes convinced that he doesn't stand a chance of winning.

As a result, Cory decides to sabotage his own dessert. He convinces himself that his dessert doesn't deserve to win and he starts to add random ingredients to it to make it taste terrible. The result is a disgusting, inedible mess. When the judges taste his dessert, they are appalled and Cory is eliminated from the competition.

Sophie, who has been watching the competition, is disappointed in Cory's behavior and tells him as much. She explains to him that his dessert was amazing and that he had a real chance of winning. She tells him that sabotaging his own dessert was stupid and that he should believe in himself more.

Cory realizes the error of his ways and decides to make things right. He returns to the kitchen and makes a new, improved version of his dessert. This time, he doesn't doubt himself and he puts all his effort into the dessert. It's a hit with the judges and Cory ends up winning the competition.

In the end, the President invites Cory and his family to the dinner party and Cory's dessert is served to the guests. Cory is thrilled and realizes that he wouldn't have been able to achieve this without Sophie's support.

Overall, Just Desserts is a heartwarming episode that teaches kids about the importance of believing in oneself and not giving up. It's a great lesson for kids who often give up on things just because they feel insecure or unsure of themselves. The episode also highlights the importance of friendship and how friends can help each other in times of need.
