With a bona-fide female on board, and Peter's video skills, Danny and Derek know their romantic instructional video's going to be hilarious. Derek's determined to ask her out, but when it turns out it's actually Danny she likes, a jealous Derek slips panties into his backpack while they are in a store.
When Danny and Rachel were walking out of the store, the manager of the store wanted Danny to open his backpack to see if he stole anything from the store.
