In Boy Meets World season 3 episode 4, titled "He Said, She Said," the gang finds themselves embroiled in a classic high school rumor mill. When Topanga makes a remark about Cory during class, word quickly spreads that the two are romantically involved. Despite their insistence that they're just friends, the rumor spreads like wildfire throughout the school.

Cory and Shawn are shocked when they hear the rumor and set out to clear things up. However, they soon realize that no one is interested in hearing the truth.
