The Disney Channel, in its infinite stupidity, has seen it fit to never re-air this episode in syndication due to its "inappropiate" scenes (i.e. apparently it wasn't abnoxious or childish enough to be shown on their annoyingly parentally acceptable station). No offense or anything.
Lucky for us, a nice person named Kenny at the Boy Meets Web message board was kind enough to explain the plot of this episode (thanks!):

shouldn't be banned
"Cory and Topanga agreed to be honest with each other about everything. Then Rachel had a dinner party at the apartment where they played an honesty game. That's when Cory said that he was upset that Topanga tried to be perfect all the time and that started an arguement between them. Meanwhile, Shawn was asked if there was anyone he could have sex with, no strings attached and he said it would be Angela. So Angela agreed to do it with him, but they didn't because Shawn said he loved her. The rest is kind of hard to explain."

View the script. (Many thanks to Christina for transcribing this episode for us!)

My review: So let me get this straight. Disney banned this episode because the characters decided not to have sex? So, if they had done it, then would they have shown it? I'm sorry, but this whole censoring thing really upsets me. Anyway, this sounds like it must have been pretty good. The Cory and Topanga arguement sounds a lot like the one they had in "The Provider". Maybe, by the next season, the writers knew that we'd never get to see this episode ever again, so they decided to pay us back by doing a similar plot in another one.

Back to Season 6

Originally aired: ABC, Friday, April 30, 1999
Directed by: Jeff McCracken
Guest Star: Chad Morgan
Interesting Facts/Inside Jokes: At the end of this episode, Eric tells the girl to whom he's been lying that he is "Batman." This must have been referring to the fact that Will did the voice of Batman on Batman Beyond at the time. Thank you to Christina for making me aware of this line!aah...
