It's a Wonderful Night - S1-E18
Other mistake: When Eric is ordered to go to his room he mentions that Feeny used to be his 6th grade teacher. However, later in the series it is emphasized several times that Mr. Feeny was Cory's teacher every grade he was ever in. With Cory only being 3 years younger than Eric, it would not be possible for Feeny to have been Eric's 6th grade teacher as Cory would have been in 3rd grade and had Feeny as a teacher per what is stressed on multiple occasions later in the series.
Answer: I learned the answer to this one today. It is "Tree of Life" by Garé Barks.
