from wikipedia: (It's correct because I've seen the episode countless times)....
Along with Jimmy, Toby and Emma also made peace with Rick and accepted him as a friend. This crashed down on Rick, however, when he was humiliated on television, competing in the academic game show, Whack Your Brain. Jay, Alex, and Spinner set up a prank where yellow paint and chicken feathers were dumped all over him on national television. He was further hurt when Emma rebuffed his advances, mistaking her comfort for a romantic overture.
He left school after this, but returned later, armed with a gun and intending to take vengeance. Paige ran into him in the hallway and she might well have been his first victim, but Rick was surprised when Paige denounced the prank, saying it was "sickening" and "childish." Rick apologized for hurting Terri, and Paige accepted it. It was also revealed that Jimmy, Toby, and Emma had denounced the prank as well. Pulling himself together, Rick cleaned himself up in the bathroom. Jay and Spinner, realizing that Rick is in one of the stalls, pretended that Jimmy set up everything, adding that Jimmy joined the team to trick Rick into a false sense of security, and that Jimmy convinced Rick to play the sudden death round of the game show. Rick then leaves the bathroom and heads for Jimmy, pulling out a handgun. Jimmy tries to run but is shot in the back.
