Speaker 1: So the last two weeks, thanks to Deadpool versus Wolverine
Speaker 1: and Sync has entered the rotation of indie's music.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it is just every every day, but
Speaker 2: it's sent me down this path of like, you know,
Speaker 2: there's this this cool tradition that I really do love
Speaker 2: of movies going back and pulling like a song, like
Speaker 2: a pop song from a from another era, like from
Speaker 2: a decade or two decades or even.
Speaker 3: More, and repurposing it for a movie. You know, and
Speaker 3: Guardians the Galaxy is famous exactly Guardians of the Galaxies.
Speaker 1: But my favorite ones are the ones that take a
Speaker 1: song that might have been like okay, like or it
Speaker 1: was just it was like background noise or just a
Speaker 1: pop song, and then it becomes like suddenly like really
Speaker 1: emotional in the new context, Like.
Speaker 3: Did you guys see Eighth Grade?
Speaker 1: Oh okay, it's a great bow Burnham movie. And there's this
Speaker 1: they used like sail Away by Christophers Across. Yeah yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, no, oh no, you're thinking of sticks come sail away.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's the it's no what's or like,
Speaker 3: I mean, okay.
Speaker 1: The even better one is like did you ever see Monster?
Speaker 1: Where they used Don't Stop Believing during the roller skating rink. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So I've always had and like I have like a
Speaker 1: series of songs that are like that for me, and
Speaker 1: like the one that I someday, I don't think it's
Speaker 1: been done yet, like it hasn't been like repurposed for
Speaker 1: a movie, but it's like, for whatever reason, it's so well.
Speaker 1: I actually think I have a very specific case, but
Speaker 1: it's so emotional for me, and it's like kind of
Speaker 1: a forgotten but we all know it. And I someday
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to make a movie and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna have a very like emotional scene where I use
Speaker 1: this pop song. I have a like deep and abiding
Speaker 1: and unironic love for the sign by ace of Bass.
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I love that, but like what is the
Speaker 4: song about?
Speaker 1: Like the litt mean nothing to me, but anytime it
Speaker 1: comes on my heart, just like I'm like right back
Speaker 1: in the nineteen nineties and I get this like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's just like this rush of like nostalgia. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously it's all nostalgia, but yeah, oh the other one
Speaker 1: was crash into me the way that Lady Bird used
Speaker 1: crashing for me, right like when you when a song
Speaker 1: that was like just kind of part of the background
Speaker 1: of an era becomes like suddenly the centerpiece of the movie. So,
Speaker 1: but my bodes used to make such fun of me
Speaker 1: for Ace of Bass to sign You're much fun of
Speaker 1: me because you liked it. I liked it, and I
Speaker 1: had the single and it was like, you bought the
Speaker 1: Ace of Base album.
Speaker 3: I was like, it's the single, like we have. We
Speaker 3: would literally fight.
Speaker 5: About it and that's the end of the Day's funny.
Speaker 5: I'm right, because they're awesome. It's a but I just
Speaker 5: like for me, okay. So I actually have a very
Speaker 5: distinct memory of being on the cruise, the dreaded Cruise,
Speaker 5: and there was a there was a dance party that
Speaker 5: everybody was going to, and of course I just did
Speaker 5: not want to go do and I was having all
Speaker 5: these like, you know, issues with my friend Aaron was
Speaker 5: on the cruise and everybody else who was like.
Speaker 3: Will you have to go? You have to go?
Speaker 1: And I was like I'm not going to go, and
Speaker 1: and like I got dragged to and I was finally
Speaker 1: like I'm just I have to get out of here.
Speaker 3: And I was so overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: Get back to my room and then like I was
Speaker 1: trying to leave and that song came on, and I
Speaker 1: just remember, you know, kind of loving the song and
Speaker 1: watching everybody dance and me feeling like completely alienated in
Speaker 1: this moment, like I don't want to be at this
Speaker 1: dance party. I'm so uncomfortable. I hate being here, but
Speaker 1: I kind of love this song, and so I had
Speaker 1: like this like such a layered, you know, set of feelings.
Speaker 1: And then like you know, I never put on that
Speaker 1: song or whatever, but to this day, if it comes on,
Speaker 1: like if I'm somewhere and suddenly the sign comes on,
Speaker 1: I'm like right back there, and I just have this like,
Speaker 1: oh so someday, mark my words, it'll be you know,
Speaker 1: if I ever get to make that feature film that
Speaker 1: it makes sense and then that it'll be like to
Speaker 1: throw in that nineties pop song.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it because.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 5: Do it.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you guys like that song too.
Speaker 4: It's greatat it's a great song. I remember being obsessed
Speaker 4: with it. Absolutely. They had one other song that I also.
Speaker 3: Saw, All that you Want.
Speaker 6: Yep, She's Dumbe.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: That's a great, great band. Yeah, incredible. Well, welcome to
Speaker 4: pod Meats world. I'm Daniel Fishl, I'm rather strong, and
Speaker 4: I'm will Forde. So welcome to today's episode recap. It
Speaker 4: is season five, episode twenty three, Things Change. It originally
Speaker 4: aired May eighth, nineteen ninety eight. The synopsis Corey has
Speaker 4: problems accepting all the changes that are happening around him.
Speaker 4: It was directed by Alan Myerson. It was written by
Speaker 4: Matthew Nelson and Bob Tishler.
Speaker 6: Did they ever write other episodes together?
Speaker 3: Interesting combo, I wonder what happened some of us have
Speaker 3: written the first draft?
Speaker 5: And then does Bob Tishlar normally did he normally have
Speaker 5: writing credits?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: I wonder is this just an IMDb thing? Or was
Speaker 4: it actually also in the credit?
Speaker 6: Oh? Interesting?
Speaker 4: I don't wonder what the story was. So before I
Speaker 4: jump into our guest stars.
Speaker 6: What are your overall thoughts?
Speaker 3: We'll go you go first. I don't know. I don't
Speaker 3: know what to think anymore.
Speaker 5: I didn't I didn't dislike it. I didn't like it.
Speaker 5: I wish I started to realize I was as I
Speaker 5: was watching the episode last night, that it seems like
Speaker 5: they had no plan for season five. That's when that's
Speaker 5: what was coming to me, where it was like, now
Speaker 5: Sean's a photographer and he's going to give up everything
Speaker 5: for a photography. It's never been mentioned, there's never even
Speaker 5: been an inkling of the fact that he wanted to
Speaker 5: be a photographer. I mean, it's like it seemed like
Speaker 5: they just had no plan. And I liked I liked
Speaker 5: Corey being Corey again at the beginning and kind of
Speaker 5: the caper of not you know, I'm going to get
Speaker 5: people to not go to school so Sean can go
Speaker 5: to school. I mean, it seemed kind of very Corey
Speaker 5: and topangat kind of joining the caper ome okay, But
Speaker 5: I just I don't know anymore. And it wasn't like
Speaker 5: I hated it. It wasn't like I liked it. I
Speaker 5: really don't know what to think about this entire season.
Speaker 5: And that's more what I was thinking about as I
Speaker 5: was watching this episode more was like I don't because
Speaker 5: as I'm scrolling down, I see that, oh my god,
Speaker 5: we only have the graduation left, like we're done with
Speaker 5: season five essentially we have one left and then they're engaged, ye,
Speaker 5: And I'm kind of it made me more reflect on
Speaker 5: the journey we took through season five as compared to
Speaker 5: previous seasons, and it just seems really discombobulated to me,
Speaker 5: and so I again, the performances were fine. Eric is
Speaker 5: now off the rails officially.
Speaker 6: Also also the real voice of reason for Corey.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then the voice of the reason the duckiest
Speaker 5: thing I remember being funny. But also it's just now
Speaker 5: really strange. It Again, I didn't dislike it. It was
Speaker 5: just I don't.
Speaker 3: This is kind of I think going to be the
Speaker 3: lost season for me.
Speaker 5: And I'm hoping six and seven, when we get into
Speaker 5: college and it becomes more of an ensemble piece, is
Speaker 5: going to kind of bring it all back together.
Speaker 3: That's a serious hope for me. But it seemed really season.
Speaker 1: Five had a lot of bangers too, man like some
Speaker 1: of their Like I honestly think that we will have
Speaker 1: some of our favorite episodes.
Speaker 5: I think so too, But I also think that it
Speaker 5: has some of my least favorite episode, Like I think
Speaker 5: Starry Night might be my least favorite episode of the
Speaker 5: entire series.
Speaker 3: So it's that's what I mean.
Speaker 5: It's just it's a very discombobulated, seemingly hodgepodge thrown together
Speaker 5: season a little bit, and that's what this felt like
Speaker 5: to me. It wasn't a bad episode. I just was
Speaker 5: kind of like, where is this coming from? I didn't
Speaker 5: get a lot of it.
Speaker 6: That's what I would say, writer, I.
Speaker 3: Actually really liked this episode.
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're saying, but I guess maybe
Speaker 1: I'm just I gave up and was sort of like
Speaker 1: what I you know, as somebody who's always been very
Speaker 1: scared of change and always wanting things to say the same,
Speaker 1: I can.
Speaker 3: Relate to it.
Speaker 1: I agree, like the Sean thing was just so like ugh,
Speaker 1: because and then I remembered, like, oh, right, in Girl
Speaker 1: Meets World, I think Sean is a photographer.
Speaker 6: You're likely travel travel, yeah, travel.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I was like, oh, because I didn't.
Speaker 1: Remember that when we were doing Girl's World. I was like, what,
Speaker 1: this is something that we planted, Like I thought he
Speaker 1: was a poet. I don't know, but I guess we
Speaker 1: did plant this seed out of nowhere. But also I
Speaker 1: do like I liked that Seawn is good at a job,
Speaker 1: and that's really what it took care of, like it
Speaker 1: it made sense with his character. I also just you know,
Speaker 1: hated Corey in the first scene and then loved that.
Speaker 1: That was kind of the point exactly like that. I
Speaker 1: love that that was the episode. I also think Lindsay
Speaker 1: Ridgeway is wonderful In this episode. They finally gave her
Speaker 1: something to do, and I loved her like and and
Speaker 1: Ben's dynamic and that.
Speaker 3: Scene was like, Wow, they're actually like letting.
Speaker 1: Her talk to another actor and not just be like
Speaker 1: wizbang one liner. She like had scenes and it was
Speaker 1: so cool to see. So there's a lot of I
Speaker 1: thought Matt Lawrence is sort of there was Again.
Speaker 3: You're right, there's a lot. There was a lot lot
Speaker 3: dislike it. I just didn't. I didn't.
Speaker 5: I think it's just it's another episode that's just kind
Speaker 5: of in a line of episodes that are a little
Speaker 5: it's just kind of what we need at the time,
Speaker 5: is what's happening in season five.
Speaker 3: I think that's just what I felt.
Speaker 1: The bigger problem for me with all of it is
Speaker 1: if I put it in the context of like other
Speaker 1: episodes where Corey has insisted on the world adjusting to
Speaker 1: his life, you know, like if I think about when
Speaker 1: you know, he's like, oh, everyone else knows, everyone else
Speaker 1: has assumed that Tapanga and I are going to bro
Speaker 1: break up, but no, we're to get you know, like
Speaker 1: that sort of certainty, like and all the starry night
Speaker 1: stuff like with this that certainty is supposed to be
Speaker 1: played for like he's being a bad friend or he's
Speaker 1: being a bad boyfriend. But it's like, but in other episodes,
Speaker 1: we're supposed to believe that the world will adjust because
Speaker 1: he's right, and like that was just frustrated.
Speaker 3: I was like, how can you have it both ways?
Speaker 3: Boy meets world? He can't like either.
Speaker 1: Corey needs to learn the lesson that he can't control
Speaker 1: everybody around him, and that's that, to me, is a
Speaker 1: way more interesting lesson and cooler. But so often our
Speaker 1: show has had him being this insistent on what he
Speaker 1: knows is right, and he is actually right. So that
Speaker 1: was like just a little in the back of my
Speaker 1: but as just on its own, as one episode was
Speaker 1: like this is actually it's pretty well.
Speaker 3: Done and I like it.
Speaker 5: I liked Corey, I liked I liked certain things where
Speaker 5: they toned it down a bit in this episode where
Speaker 5: he was like, Okay, I'm going to support you, but
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna quit trying to get and you're like, no,
Speaker 5: I get, I get that I get your like.
Speaker 3: I liked he's acknowledging that. He's like, I'm still going.
Speaker 5: To be a nudge, but I'm going to let you know.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be a nudge, but I'm gonna support you.
Speaker 5: Like that was good, but yeah, it was just.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Yeah, writer, I had the same thought
Speaker 4: once it became that, oh, the entire lesson of the
Speaker 4: episode is do you need to respond better to circumstances
Speaker 4: that are out of your control because that's who defines
Speaker 4: who you are. Then I was like, Okay, now, I'm
Speaker 4: totally on board with the with the kind of very panicked,
Speaker 4: very controlling, a little off putting behavior from the beginning,
Speaker 4: because it's the whole point of it that you don't
Speaker 4: want to be that person. I thought Matt was really
Speaker 4: great and it, like you said, I loved, loved Lindsay
Speaker 4: and their whole dynamic. I thought the fact that the
Speaker 4: restaurant changing to.
Speaker 6: Very funny, I totally forgot that.
Speaker 3: By the way, Oh, did you remember that? I actually
Speaker 3: remember almost everything from this episode.
Speaker 5: I don't know why, but I remember kind of everything
Speaker 5: from this I remember working because that was Ricky right.
Speaker 6: Yes, exactly, that's very saf Checks very.
Speaker 5: Sta Check's wife, and I remember switching it over to
Speaker 5: Pegleg Pete's. And I remember this week because I think
Speaker 5: Love and I were like going through our breakup.
Speaker 3: During this week, are pretty close to it. We weren't
Speaker 3: together too much longer.
Speaker 6: After this was your spoon necklace missing.
Speaker 5: No, I still had the spoon necklace, but I distinctly remember.
Speaker 3: The exactly. Really, it's so funny.
Speaker 5: I look bigger in this episode, meaning like more built.
Speaker 5: And it's because we were both with the same personal
Speaker 5: trainer at the time, and that guy when we broke up,
Speaker 5: ended up selling our story to like Star magazine. Yeah,
Speaker 5: that's how I found out she was dating Carson Is
Speaker 5: because it was in Star Magazine. And then we Love
Speaker 5: and I talked about it afterwards. We compared the quotes
Speaker 5: and we were like, oh, that was our trainer, Like
Speaker 5: he he completely sold us down the river, and so
Speaker 5: I saw that my arms were bigger, and I was like,
Speaker 5: oh I was. I literally don't even remember the guy's name.
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, I was working out with what's
Speaker 5: his name at the time he went up to sell,
Speaker 5: so Yesna right within and I remember her being like,
Speaker 5: you know that guy sold our story and I was
Speaker 5: like no, and then we talked about it's like, oh god,
Speaker 5: you're right that that was him.
Speaker 3: So yeah, very strange.
Speaker 5: But yeah, So that's this whole, this whole week of
Speaker 5: Feenie leaving and the whole getting into.
Speaker 4: Colle One thing, you want to know, the one thing
Speaker 4: I remember the amount of times we had to emphasize
Speaker 4: jackson Hole. Literally, that's the one thing I remember about
Speaker 4: the episode jackson Hole.
Speaker 6: It's jackson Hole. Really, yes, another.
Speaker 4: Jackson Hole, over and over again, and every time somebody
Speaker 4: said it, I.
Speaker 6: Got chills in my spine, like, oh they did it, Oh,
Speaker 6: they did it right.
Speaker 5: I thought it was jackson Hole so close just hit
Speaker 5: the hit the sun at the end is what I
Speaker 5: thought it was.
Speaker 6: Here's okay.
Speaker 4: I do want to have my major point of contention
Speaker 4: with the episode, and it's this might sound very small
Speaker 4: and very nitpicky, but the fact that Sean says I'm
Speaker 4: not going to feel that way about college when we
Speaker 4: actually did an entire episode where he did very much
Speaker 4: feel that way about college really bothers me because they
Speaker 4: could use any other reason for why his preference is
Speaker 4: to get out into the workforce.
Speaker 6: I you know, literally anything.
Speaker 4: I feel like, you know, I've been waiting to start
Speaker 4: my life for so long. My parents are both gone,
Speaker 4: Who the heck even knows where they are.
Speaker 3: I gotta pay for this apartment, I pay for this.
Speaker 6: Accountment, and with Angela now I want to.
Speaker 3: Be Why not any acknowledgment of the Angela Shawn.
Speaker 4: The relationship and like him thinking about a future There
Speaker 4: there's a million reasons someone might say, I've found a
Speaker 4: passion that could make me a really good income and
Speaker 4: I could start my life now instead of going to
Speaker 4: college to try to figure out how to start my life.
Speaker 4: And and so that is the one thing that kept
Speaker 4: bothering me, was like, but he did find he did
Speaker 4: feel passionate about college, So don't make that the reason.
Speaker 4: Don't make the reason that he's guessing he's gonna hate
Speaker 4: college anyway.
Speaker 5: I also don't like I don't like when things could
Speaker 5: be changed with one or two lines, Like literally, if
Speaker 5: it's just like you know, Sean, you're really you've been
Speaker 5: a photographer for a month, yeah, and it's like, I know,
Speaker 5: but I love it. How long do I need to
Speaker 5: do it before I find out that I love it?
Speaker 5: That's all you need? And then it's like, it's fine,
Speaker 5: but no, it's now it's a foregone conclusion that now he's.
Speaker 3: A photographer, and it's like where did where?
Speaker 4: Well that happens, and they make it a very shallow
Speaker 4: reason that he likes it.
Speaker 6: Why on earth do you want to do this?
Speaker 4: And it's because there's a girl in a bikini even
Speaker 4: though you have a girlfriend, yes, so you know it already.
Speaker 4: It minimalizes the reason you love photography and trivializes it.
Speaker 4: So yeah, anyway, that's a little bit annoying, but okay.
Speaker 4: Guest starring Ricky Dale as Maria. This is her second
Speaker 4: Boy Meets World episode. She played Marnie in the season
Speaker 4: four episode Wheels. She's also shown up on Ali McBeal
Speaker 4: and Zoe Duncan, Jack and Jane. But as we said
Speaker 4: on her first episode, she got out of acting in
Speaker 4: two thousand and two and is now known as a
Speaker 4: talent manager. And then there's Robert high Gorman as David.
Speaker 4: Robert is best known as Walter in the movie Don't
Speaker 4: Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead and as Alex in the
Speaker 4: first Leprechaun movie. He was in a ton of movies, though,
Speaker 4: including Mister Nanny, Rookie of the Year and Leatherheads and
Speaker 4: it looks like he left the business around two thousand
Speaker 4: and nine.
Speaker 6: And then there's Hyla Levy as Terry.
Speaker 4: This was Levy's first acting gig and her only other
Speaker 4: real appearance was on Buffy the Vampire s Layer in
Speaker 4: two thousand and one.
Speaker 6: We have David Packer as Jonathan.
Speaker 4: David appeared on TV shows like Saint Elsewhere and mash Will,
Speaker 4: Yeah Yeah, before he broke out in the TV mini
Speaker 4: series V in nineteen eighty three, and would later appear
Speaker 4: in movies like RoboCop and Almost Heroes. He co starred
Speaker 4: on V with actress Dominique Dunn, and during their first
Speaker 4: month of filming, he was in the house when she
Speaker 4: was killed by her ex boyfriend, which is a crazy story.
Speaker 4: So jumping into our recap, we are in Chubbies. Corey, Topanga, Sean,
Speaker 4: and Angela are sitting at a booth when Corey reveals
Speaker 4: he has four envelopes from the Office of Admissions at
Speaker 4: the University of Penbrook to Penga snatches them out of
Speaker 4: his hand.
Speaker 6: You robbed our mailboxes.
Speaker 3: He goes down one of them. My favorite is though,
Speaker 3: that Sean's like, I'm proud of you exactly.
Speaker 4: Angela reminds him, and Sean smiles, I am so proud
Speaker 4: of you.
Speaker 6: Callback to Penga reads her letter, I'm in. I did it.
Speaker 6: I'm in.
Speaker 4: They all cheer and Sean snaps a picture. Angela opens
Speaker 4: her letter next and lets out a dramatic sigh. Well,
Speaker 4: I guess not everybody can get in. The gang is
Speaker 4: shocked and the audience aws for her. Angela reveals a
Speaker 4: giant grin on her face. But I did Everyone cheers,
Speaker 4: and Sean snaps another picture. Corey's next. He checks his
Speaker 4: left and yells.
Speaker 6: I'm in. I'm in.
Speaker 4: Those idiots letting me in. Sean again takes a picture.
Speaker 4: Corey reminds everyone we have one more to go and
Speaker 4: let's not lie. This is a toughie. He tells Sean
Speaker 4: that no matter what happens, he loves him. Sean quickly
Speaker 4: opens his letter and reads through it. Waitlist, Tapanga and
Speaker 4: Angela's cheer for him, but Corey looks worried. Sean snaps
Speaker 4: a picture of himself with a big grin. Corey doesn't
Speaker 4: get it. Sean says, if all the spots don't fill up,
Speaker 4: with the people they've already accepted. He gets in. Corey's nervous.
Speaker 4: But the plan was for us to all go to
Speaker 4: school together. Sean shrugs, what's the big deal, We're always.
Speaker 6: Going to be friends.
Speaker 4: Valid, valid point, Sean, Yeah, Corey protests, No, no, no,
Speaker 4: everyone says that. Then they graduate from high school and
Speaker 4: they never see each other again. Sean asks, could that happen?
Speaker 4: Corey answers, I'm getting you into Penbrook. Sure, Topanga is
Speaker 4: now the bridest student. It's going to college with Corey
Speaker 4: and the same university that Sean is waitlisted at.
Speaker 5: All.
Speaker 6: Right, we're in, Well, I'm in okay. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well I literally wrote the note Holy Corey, come on, and.
Speaker 1: Then I was like, okay, at least that's where this
Speaker 1: episode is going.
Speaker 3: But the first reaction was.
Speaker 6: Like, oh my, I know.
Speaker 4: I had many notes throughout that. Then I ended up
Speaker 4: having to go back and just erase because there were
Speaker 4: so much of like a you are so self centered,
Speaker 4: and he was like, right, got it, that's the point.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 4: So we quickly transitioned to John Adams High. Corey's walking
Speaker 4: with a new classmate David in the hallway. Corey ac surprised.
Speaker 4: You're telling me that you got into New Jersey Turnpike
Speaker 4: Community College and you're going to Penbrook. That's crazy. David
Speaker 4: is obviously not convinced. He tells Corey everybody in my
Speaker 4: family went to Penbrook, then to Penga walks by. Corey
Speaker 4: asks her, in your opinion, which school is better, Turnpike
Speaker 4: or Penbrook? To Penga says, any school's better than Penbrook.
Speaker 4: Pennbrook's yucky. I love that to Beega isn't good at this,
Speaker 4: but does kind of go along with it. Corey asks,
Speaker 4: and what do you know about the Pike? Tapanga confesses
Speaker 4: I would never go there. I hear they have a
Speaker 4: promiscuity problem. The classmate's interest has been piqued. Tapega continues,
Speaker 4: Pike girls are way too easy. They never want a commitment.
Speaker 4: You go from girl to girl every day. The boy
Speaker 4: looks thrilled. Corey whispers to him, talk about shallow. David
Speaker 4: admits I didn't know any of this. I gotta go think,
Speaker 4: and he walks away. Tapanga tells Corey, I can't believe
Speaker 4: I'm helping you do this. I feel dirty. Corey explains, no,
Speaker 4: you're not helping me. You're helping Sean Tapango wonders. Do
Speaker 4: you really think you can kick people out of Penbrook
Speaker 4: to make room for him?
Speaker 6: Do you know how crazy you are? Corey spots another classmate, Barry.
Speaker 4: I'm assuming Barry sas Check named after Barry Schack. Did
Speaker 4: you think about what we talked about? Barry smiles, think
Speaker 4: about it, man, I am doing it. I am turning
Speaker 4: down Pembroke and going to Tahiti for six years.
Speaker 5: So this is the guy who was cast as me? Ohh,
Speaker 5: he's this guy has been on our show before? Has
Speaker 5: he looked so familiar to me?
Speaker 3: Just I think he was the one who was cast
Speaker 3: to be the shop to be Schneider. Wow, I'm pretty
Speaker 3: sure there he is.
Speaker 1: So it was like the next episode, you know, two
Speaker 1: episodes later they brought because they ended up not being Schneider.
Speaker 1: They we all played ourselves in the Eric Hollywood.
Speaker 6: He's not listed in here.
Speaker 3: He's not.
Speaker 6: No, it's so weird. I need to figure out who
Speaker 6: he was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm ninety percent sure that's the guy who I
Speaker 1: was going to Oxidental with.
Speaker 5: Then, I've worked with him before. Then, he was in
Speaker 5: Trojan War, he was in something because I saw him.
Speaker 3: And I was like, Oh, that guy, Like I knew
Speaker 3: I made this guy from So maybe I don't know,
Speaker 3: we'll keep her eye on it. I'm yeah, Also, can
Speaker 3: we talk.
Speaker 5: Is Pembroke a good school? I think so, I mean,
Speaker 5: because it seems like Eric got in. It seems kind
Speaker 5: of like everybody getting.
Speaker 3: To Penn's State in that, like it's a big in Penn.
Speaker 5: State, a really good school, like a difficult school to
Speaker 5: get into, though, like when Eric got Independent State.
Speaker 3: I think it's it's it's.
Speaker 1: One of those schools it's hard to get in if
Speaker 1: you're from out of state. It's huge, you know, it's
Speaker 1: like it's like a UC school. It's like a big
Speaker 1: state school. So it's actually very big, and I think
Speaker 1: you can get it, you know, depending on the department.
Speaker 7: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like it's a good school,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's like impossible to get into because.
Speaker 3: It seems like everybody is going to Penbrook.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: I feel like, I mean that's the way I think
Speaker 1: Penn State is. Like if you go to high school
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania and you have decent grades and you you know,
Speaker 1: you can probably get into some program at Penn State,
Speaker 1: like kind of like gotcha, Like, yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 3: Both my parents went to Penn State. It's a really
Speaker 3: good school, wasn't it. Yeah, but my.
Speaker 1: Dad had to go I'm trying to think something. I
Speaker 1: think my dad had to go to another like satellite
Speaker 1: campus before you could get accepted to the main ca
Speaker 1: you know whatever. He was coming from, like a not
Speaker 1: a great high school in Altoona or whatever. But yeah,
Speaker 1: like there are ways to you know, but like it's
Speaker 1: such a huge school that a lot of people go.
Speaker 6: Well to PENGA.
Speaker 4: Can't stay silent, Barry Penbrook gave you a full scholarship,
Speaker 4: Barry size. Yeah, when I told my dad, he took
Speaker 4: a swing me. He walks away and Corey is giddy.
Speaker 4: To Pega is not, I know you want us to
Speaker 4: all be together, but if it's meant to happen, it will.
Speaker 4: Corey insists, Oh, it's meant to happen, And if it's
Speaker 4: not meant to happen, I'll make it meant to happen.
Speaker 4: Another classmate catches Corey's attention, Craig, have you heard about
Speaker 4: today's army? To Pega watches him walk away and shock
Speaker 4: and then we do.
Speaker 5: A great ending scene sitcomank your head shaking and then
Speaker 5: straight up in the hand goes on the hip.
Speaker 3: It was like it was like.
Speaker 6: Com mom since I was fifteen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, as a straight right.
Speaker 4: There girl meets World was always in my is always
Speaker 4: in my future.
Speaker 6: And then we've got a new set and storyline.
Speaker 3: Alert.
Speaker 4: We are at Sean's workplace. Sean is in a dark
Speaker 4: room developing photos. When Corey bursts through the door. I've
Speaker 4: convinced so many people not to go to Penbrook that
Speaker 4: you and I are going to be the only guys there.
Speaker 4: Sean frantically closes the door behind Corey. He's exposing his photographs.
Speaker 4: Corey looks around. It's dark in here. Sean sarcastically responds,
Speaker 4: that's why it's called a dark room. College boy, he
Speaker 4: owns only been there for three weeks. He can't get
Speaker 4: fired already. Corey assures him, after you graduate from Penbrook,
Speaker 4: your brass is going to be working for you. Shawn's unenthused.
Speaker 4: Come on, I'm just on the waiting list. I'm not
Speaker 4: waiting for anything here. Jonathan's already got me developing my
Speaker 4: own pictures. You know, doing good. Why could they not
Speaker 4: pick any of it?
Speaker 3: Why is it Jonathan again?
Speaker 6: Why does it appen immediately?
Speaker 3: Like, oh, we do reference Turner? I thought I was like,
Speaker 3: that's a cool.
Speaker 1: At least we talk about him off camera and that
Speaker 1: he inspires Sean, I.
Speaker 3: Know, different guy. You can't pick a different name. Why
Speaker 3: they do allion names?
Speaker 6: Why does it have to be jonn have so many
Speaker 6: freaking names?
Speaker 3: How did it not occur to them? How?
Speaker 6: How?
Speaker 3: I mean you you you can write in the script,
Speaker 3: I see, you can go through the week, but then
Speaker 3: or any of us like, did not you said it?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 3: I mean I wonder if you at one point you
Speaker 3: were like, is it going to be Jonathan? Really? It
Speaker 3: just goes to show like how much we had just
Speaker 3: moved on from season four and just forgotten the Turner
Speaker 3: was ever a part of this story. So good. Next
Speaker 3: week is the graduation episode when he is mentioned, is mentioned.
Speaker 1: In a mocking way and yeah, making fun of the
Speaker 1: fact that he's no longer on the show.
Speaker 3: Way, yeah, yeah, we all thought the same thing.
Speaker 6: John is like what any other name?
Speaker 3: Literally, any other name? Anything? Yes, amazing, amazing, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Corey turns judgmental quickly. This is just a hobby. You
Speaker 4: can take these kinds of courses in college. Sean reminds
Speaker 4: him he might not get in. You want me to
Speaker 4: be smart, I'm smart to consider other options. Corey wonders
Speaker 4: what other options. Sean admiers his picture cool, it's finished
Speaker 4: and it's good. He asks Cory for his opinion. Corey's disappointed.
Speaker 4: I think you haven't listened to a thing I've said.
Speaker 4: Sean doesn't respond, so Corey throws his arms up in
Speaker 4: defeat and leaves. And this is where when I was upset.
Speaker 6: I was like, no, you're the one not listening, and
Speaker 6: I was like, okay, got okay.
Speaker 3: Also total we're talking to it. Picking.
Speaker 5: I think if you go back and look as Sean
Speaker 5: puts up the picture that he takes of Corey, he's
Speaker 5: got his hands up. I think when he did it
Speaker 5: in Chubbies he had the envelope in his hand, which
Speaker 5: was not in the photograph continuity. So I could be wrong,
Speaker 5: and that's just the way my mind works, but I'm
Speaker 5: pretty sure they had the thing in there.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: Sean hangs up his photo to dry, and we see
Speaker 4: it's the picture of Corey after he got accepted into college,
Speaker 4: or perhaps it was a picture David Glazer took earlier
Speaker 4: in the week.
Speaker 6: That doesn't actually match. That's one two, one.
Speaker 3: Of the two. It was Fred Savage in that asure.
Speaker 4: And then we're in the Matthew's kitchen with Amy Allen
Speaker 4: and Eric. Books are sprawled across the kitchen counter. Eric
Speaker 4: points to a picture in one Ducky's.
Speaker 3: This is a famous scene.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is all the famous line alert coming up,
Speaker 4: Amy size, Come on, Alan, if we pick out the
Speaker 4: wallpaper together, it'll be more fun. Alan wines, It's not fun.
Speaker 4: It's torture. I've told you a thousand times, woman, I'm
Speaker 4: no good at this wallpaper? Is your business?
Speaker 6: Just gonna leave that there.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying.
Speaker 4: Eric.
Speaker 1: It was like okay on one level, but then went
Speaker 1: to Panga walks in I was like, oh.
Speaker 3: My goodness, is so when did they When did they
Speaker 3: start doing this with Alan? This seems like kind of.
Speaker 6: A season five thing, right, It is a new thing
Speaker 6: where it's I.
Speaker 4: Feel like a lot of a lot of their storylines
Speaker 4: in season five have been me, man, me, no care
Speaker 4: about stuff you care about?
Speaker 6: And she's like, but I like pink pillows.
Speaker 5: Yeah, which wasn't them at all before. That's okay, Yeah,
Speaker 5: really because.
Speaker 1: Even like the minivan episode, I guess it wasn't it
Speaker 1: was just about It wasn't like male female.
Speaker 4: It was taking her sweet time making a decision, and
Speaker 4: I can get a great deal, and so she'll.
Speaker 5: Be so proud of me, and you pick the color.
Speaker 5: So I went and bought it. That that to me
Speaker 5: seems more real than just like, I'm not picking wallpaper
Speaker 5: wallpaper woman.
Speaker 4: Like wallpaper woman, it's your business for their their baby's room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're for your nursery.
Speaker 4: Like Eric chimes in Duckies. Amy tells her husband, I'm
Speaker 4: not doing it without you, It'll only breed anger and resentment.
Speaker 4: She begs him to simply tell her which one he
Speaker 4: likes best. Again, Eric shouts duckies, this time holding up
Speaker 4: his choice of wallpaper for the baby's room. Alan reluctantly
Speaker 4: looks at his two choices and picks a colorful striped wallpaper.
Speaker 4: Amy frowns no as she tosses the sample into the trash.
Speaker 4: Alan sighs and defeat, and Eric asks him, was that
Speaker 4: duckies no garbage? Then Tobengo walks in the back door
Speaker 4: and sees the wallpaper samples. Fun Corey follows in behind her,
Speaker 4: and Alan asks, so two weeks till graduation, how are
Speaker 4: you too holding up Tapega admits it's exciting but scary.
Speaker 4: Corey gets defensive, No, it's not scary. What's there to
Speaker 4: be scared about? Alan admits, for me, it was like
Speaker 4: jumping off a cliff, which we know is actually not
Speaker 4: scary at all. For Rusty, a man who repeatedly leaps off.
Speaker 3: Literally jumped off cliff.
Speaker 5: And also in the Alan storyline, he didn't go to
Speaker 5: college right away or at all, right, he went into
Speaker 5: the Navy.
Speaker 6: To the Navy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, so yeah, I mean I was just wanting
Speaker 5: because again his dad also didn't go right to college.
Speaker 5: You figure he would have more of an open mind
Speaker 5: to there's all their alternatives to what you can do.
Speaker 3: From the store open.
Speaker 5: The Wilderness Morgan Morgan, Morgan works a little lot, not
Speaker 5: the same child in Philadelphia at.
Speaker 3: Anybody's jobs, right, like the parents.
Speaker 6: Just Shawn's Shawn's a photographer.
Speaker 5: Shawn's photographer. But other than that, now, got to imagine
Speaker 5: they still have.
Speaker 3: The Wilderness store. I think that's what they that's what
Speaker 3: they're going for.
Speaker 4: Corey pleads, somebody explained to me about the duckies before
Speaker 4: I hit him with a spoon.
Speaker 6: Alan explains it's for your room.
Speaker 4: Corey is confused, for my room, Eric screams at the
Speaker 4: top of his lungs Ducky's rule. He points out that
Speaker 4: he had duckies growing up, and obviously he turned out
Speaker 4: just fine.
Speaker 6: He twitched.
Speaker 3: Twitch.
Speaker 4: Alan tells Corey it's for the baby, but assures him
Speaker 4: not to worry. They won't read a rate until he
Speaker 4: moves out. Corey asks who said I'm moving out? I
Speaker 4: will when I go to college, but can we slow down.
Speaker 6: For a second. He admits he thought they'd keep his
Speaker 6: room the way it is.
Speaker 4: Eric whispers for that to happen, I think you have
Speaker 4: to be unexpectedly killed by a drunk or something.
Speaker 3: Pretty good line, actually good.
Speaker 5: I guess I was gonna say, or will oh or
Speaker 5: me where for some reason, I go back to my
Speaker 5: room exactly his.
Speaker 6: Name, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Tapega tells him everything's going to be okay. Corey tries
Speaker 4: to hold on to control. I know it's going to
Speaker 4: be okay. I know we're all going to go to
Speaker 4: college together, We're all going to live in the same town,
Speaker 4: We're all going to have the same jobs. We're all
Speaker 4: going to take vacations together, and we're going to die
Speaker 4: together and be buried next to each other. Corey announces
Speaker 4: he'll be going to Chobby's to be on his regular
Speaker 4: booth at his regular place.
Speaker 6: A concerned topanga follows him out, which.
Speaker 5: Is funny because this is again you were talking about
Speaker 5: this earlier, Danielle and Sue and I deal with this
Speaker 5: all the time. Some people, myself included, just don't like change,
Speaker 5: and when a lot of it comes at you at once,
Speaker 5: it can it's really overwhelming.
Speaker 3: So yeah, that's it I've established about Corey, you know,
Speaker 3: because remember when Eric moved out, it was yeah, no,
Speaker 3: it's on brand. It's definitely on brand for Corey.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 4: So then we're back in Chubby's Topanga. Corey, Sean, and
Speaker 4: Angelo are all sitting at the same booth. Corey's happy
Speaker 4: they're all together. He's getting a burger. Everything is good.
Speaker 4: Angela asks, you know what else is good? She tells
Speaker 4: Sean to share the good news. Sean excitedly announces no
Speaker 4: more part time job. My boss says that after I graduate,
Speaker 4: he wants me to be his full time assistant. To
Speaker 4: Pega is genuinely excited for him.
Speaker 6: That's great.
Speaker 4: Corey, on the other hand, is underwhelmed. That's the big news.
Speaker 4: Angela tells Sean to give him the rest. Sean pulls
Speaker 4: out a letter. Look what came in the mail today.
Speaker 4: It's from Penbrook. Corey tells Sean.
Speaker 6: You did it. You're in.
Speaker 4: We are all together forever. Angela reminds him they don't
Speaker 4: know what's in the letter. Corey knows what it says
Speaker 4: because he knows what it has to say. Sean tears
Speaker 4: it open and reads the letter aloud. He will be
Speaker 4: moved off the wait list and is officially accepted into Penbrook.
Speaker 4: Everyone cheers. Corey exclaims the enrollment figures that was me.
Speaker 4: I fix them. Angela's beaming. She is so proud and
Speaker 4: congratulate Sean. Corey thanks her to Penget tells Corey that
Speaker 4: was meant for Sean, and Corey wonders, well, what he do.
Speaker 4: Sean is staring at his acceptance letter. I did it.
Speaker 4: I actually got into college. This is a big day,
Speaker 4: Corey counters, this is the biggest day. He knew everything
Speaker 4: was going to work out. Then Corey stands up and
Speaker 4: demands the attention of the entire restaurant, my best friend,
Speaker 4: Sean Hunter. Then, in the middle of Corey's speech, Sean
Speaker 4: blurts out, I think I'm going to take the job.
Speaker 4: Corey stops dead in his tracks, is throwing away his
Speaker 4: entire life, and he stares at.
Speaker 6: Sean in shock.
Speaker 3: Don don don dun.
Speaker 4: Then we're still in Chubby's. We're back at the booth.
Speaker 4: As Sean explains himself, I just need time to think.
Speaker 4: Corey shouts at him, no thinking. Barry is on his
Speaker 4: way to Tahiti because of you. You are going to college.
Speaker 4: Sean tells Corey he's not his father. Corey's fuming. If
Speaker 4: I was your father, i'd spank you, because that's what
Speaker 4: you deserve, a big spanking, he demands. Now take down
Speaker 4: your pants, and everyone just laughs at this behavior. Angela
Speaker 4: tries to change the subject. Topanga has some news to
Speaker 4: Pega acknowledges that this is probably a bad time. Angela
Speaker 4: reveals Topanga got a letter from Yale. Corey isn't listening.
Speaker 4: He's still mad at Sean. If you don't go to Penbrook,
Speaker 4: we are finished.
Speaker 6: To Pega.
Speaker 4: Size don't worry, honey, I don't even know if Yelle
Speaker 4: accepted me. Yet Corey's confused, I was talking to Sean.
Speaker 4: What are you talking about? Angela pushes an envelope towards
Speaker 4: Tapanga and encourages her to open it to Pega explains,
Speaker 4: I applied to Yale when Corey and I broke up.
Speaker 4: Corey's again preoccupied with Sean.
Speaker 6: So she wouldn't have applied to Yale otherwise it together. Now, No, wow,
Speaker 6: that's pretty yeah, wow, yep.
Speaker 4: Okay, Corey and I were broken up. I thought maybe
Speaker 4: I would reach for the stars, but I can.
Speaker 3: I can do something with my lif I'm going to
Speaker 3: settle forget. Okay, this is the start of Yeah, what
Speaker 3: what is Topanga thinking? A little bit?
Speaker 4: Corey says, you have a chance to have a real
Speaker 4: future here to Pega continues, Not because I really wanted
Speaker 4: to go, oh okay, I just wanted to see if
Speaker 4: I could get in, So it's possible to Pega didn't
Speaker 4: really want to go to Yale, I.
Speaker 3: Guess, just to see if she wanted to.
Speaker 6: She does say, just to see if I could get in.
Speaker 6: I will say I did.
Speaker 4: When I was applying to colleges, I did apply to
Speaker 4: a college that I didn't actually have an intention of
Speaker 4: going to but it's like my dad's favorite college, and
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get the acceptance letter so that
Speaker 4: I could be like, look, I got accepted your favorite school.
Speaker 6: So maybe she didn't really want to go there, just.
Speaker 3: Like one of the top schools in the world. She's
Speaker 3: a very smart person. You go to Yale if you
Speaker 3: get in.
Speaker 1: I mean that, yes, and we're talking how many hours
Speaker 1: away for we're talking about another country.
Speaker 3: Side with the country it's absurd.
Speaker 4: Well, Corey is still shan obsessed to get the kind
Speaker 4: of education where you do not have to talk about
Speaker 4: exhaust manifolds for the rest of your life. Tapega tells Angela,
Speaker 4: because you know, with my GPA being so high and
Speaker 4: my board's being so well, hi, Corey shouts at his
Speaker 4: best friend, you deserve more. Give yourself a chance. Angela
Speaker 4: steals the envelope back from Tepega so she can open it.
Speaker 4: Then the Chebby's waitress appears with their food. Corey shouts
Speaker 4: not hungry. She responds, not my problems still have to pay.
Speaker 4: Sean tells Corey he just needs time to think. Meanwhile,
Speaker 4: Angela reveals to Topanga that she made the Yale wait list.
Speaker 4: Then the waitress says, I think I'll give the check too.
Speaker 4: She waves the receipt around and drops it on Corey.
Speaker 4: You to peg is disappointed, staring at her letter. I
Speaker 4: really thought i'd get in.
Speaker 6: She tells Corey. She feels awful.
Speaker 4: Corey doesn't understand about what to Pega answers not getting
Speaker 4: into Yale and oblivious, Corey asks Yale, Sean could never
Speaker 4: get into Yale.
Speaker 6: You can hardly get into Yale.
Speaker 1: At all.
Speaker 5: But he's also just I mean, I know we harp
Speaker 5: on this a little bit, just their relationship, but how
Speaker 5: many times do we do that. Corey's just doesn't listen
Speaker 5: to the bango thing, and he just does never listen
Speaker 5: to her. Ever, it's it becomes like, I know they're
Speaker 5: kind of trying to do it as a joke, but
Speaker 5: after a number of episodes where he's just not listening
Speaker 5: to a damn thing, she's saying, you kind of look back,
Speaker 5: like this is awful.
Speaker 1: I mean it just only he only cares when it
Speaker 1: affects him, you know, like when she's like, you're gonna take,
Speaker 1: you're gonna.
Speaker 3: Go, You're gonna leave me?
Speaker 4: Yes, It's well, the interesting thing is he he feels
Speaker 4: that way about everybody who might leave him, and as
Speaker 4: far as he's aware of, the only real threat to
Speaker 4: is leaving is is Sean. So he's completely focused on
Speaker 4: that and not hearing or listening to Tapanga and it is.
Speaker 4: It brings back the point that we made, which was, like,
Speaker 4: do we think Corey would have ever cheated on Sean
Speaker 4: the way he's cheated on Topanga. It's like the threat
Speaker 4: of losing Sean is significantly scarier to him than the
Speaker 4: threat of losing Topanga.
Speaker 6: Apparent well, because he doesn't even hear it.
Speaker 5: Again, Topanga, he doesn't have to put in the work
Speaker 5: because the universe is going to keep them together, So.
Speaker 3: You don't have to.
Speaker 5: If it's if there's a higher power putting you together,
Speaker 5: you don't have to do anything about it. Sean is
Speaker 5: just your friend that could you know, that could end
Speaker 5: any time. That's got to be cultivated. But no Topanga
Speaker 5: and I that's that's yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's strange. It's it's strange when you yeah, I
Speaker 3: don't know.
Speaker 6: But Corey still doesn't understand what I know.
Speaker 4: Online, this commonly comes up as maybe Corey's most toxic scene.
Speaker 4: I really do think at least having seen it that
Speaker 4: it really is that he is he hasn't heard her.
Speaker 4: It's not that he says, you could hardly get into
Speaker 4: Yale because he's trying to like have a dig at her, right,
Speaker 4: he just isn't paying any attention. He's completely focused only
Speaker 4: on Sean. It's not great behavior, but I have a
Speaker 4: feeling we have worse to see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course this is the thing. Unlinely, I'm sorry,
Speaker 3: this is the thing online They think this is.
Speaker 4: A People use this as an example for possibly being
Speaker 4: a core one of Corey's most toxic traits scenes.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the point of the scene. Yeah, that's contextualized.
Speaker 1: It's like the whole episode is about Corey being selfish,
Speaker 1: and yes he is thinking about himself and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't bother me the way same other episodes
Speaker 1: have really.
Speaker 6: Bothered me about this kind of totally.
Speaker 3: I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Well then we're back at Sean's workplace. Now.
Speaker 4: In the studio, Corey and Jack watch on as Sean
Speaker 4: helps get a photo shoot ready. Corey asks Jack what
Speaker 4: the most important thing in a young man's life is.
Speaker 4: Without hesitation, Jack says education. Corey continues, and what is
Speaker 4: Sean about to do? Jack responds, stop his education. Corey
Speaker 4: reminds Jack that it is his job as his older
Speaker 4: brother to do what. Jack sheepishly answers, fix this. Corey
Speaker 4: asks why, and Jack says, because he knows all your
Speaker 4: tricks and he's sick and tired of listening to you.
Speaker 4: Corey nods, now, go get him. Then Shawn's boss.
Speaker 3: And of Jack is like me too.
Speaker 1: Corey just sort of being like, I'm going to, you know,
Speaker 1: deputize you to be Corey.
Speaker 5: It's exactly what happens later with Morgan is you go.
Speaker 5: What you do is you go and you get the
Speaker 5: older brother. Go get the older brother, because that's what
Speaker 5: they have to do, and that's exactly what Morgan does.
Speaker 3: Later they kind of mirror it, which is COO, yes
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 6: I know.
Speaker 4: I love it too that he's like that. Corey flat
Speaker 4: out says it. He I've We've been here before. I've
Speaker 4: done this ruse this scheme a bunch of times, and
Speaker 4: this time mistakes are very high.
Speaker 6: You have to do my bidding.
Speaker 5: This though, this moment remind you because I was for
Speaker 5: some reason I was flipping through to see I was like,
Speaker 5: oh yeah, we only have the graduation episode left. So
Speaker 5: when you go to Disney Plus, it starts obviously at
Speaker 5: the first episode, and it's the picture of Sean and
Speaker 5: Jack meeting, and I'm like, oh my god, that seems
Speaker 5: like that was ten years ago. Now, the first episode
Speaker 5: of Matt's first episode of the show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, seems forever ago at this point.
Speaker 5: So they've incorporated him well to where he's just he's
Speaker 5: totally part of the show, totally part of the cast
Speaker 5: to where I mean that was only twenty nine episode.
Speaker 4: I guess when we've talked about the idea that it
Speaker 4: never really comes up again that Jack is your older brother.
Speaker 6: We were forgetting little moments like this.
Speaker 4: There's not necessarily entire episodes about it, but there are
Speaker 4: these moments where it's like, listen, you're the older brother.
Speaker 4: We need you to do this. So they try to
Speaker 4: have it mean something. So then Shawn's boss enters the room.
Speaker 4: Sewn eagerly notes, you've got the nikon loaded with the
Speaker 4: tri x and the Hassleblad's ready for the close ups.
Speaker 6: His boss admires his work. Keep this up. I'm going
Speaker 6: to be working for you.
Speaker 4: Jack walks up and addresses Shawn's boss the most important
Speaker 4: thing in a young man's life is education. I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna stand by and watch Sean throw his life away.
Speaker 4: I appreciate what you've done for him, but he's young
Speaker 4: and impressionable, and I'm not The man simply.
Speaker 6: Asks, have you ever modeled Jack's eyebrows? Raise?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 6: Why do you ask?
Speaker 4: And then we optical flip to Jack posing in front
Speaker 4: of a backdrop, now wearing an all black outfit, smiling
Speaker 4: for the camera. Shawn's boss cheers him on and snaps away.
Speaker 4: He instructs Jack to be wistful. Jack pretends to blow
Speaker 4: something in the wind, and Shawn's boss is convinced he's
Speaker 4: done this before. The photographer thanks Corey for bringing.
Speaker 6: In this guy. He's gold.
Speaker 4: Then he asks Jack if he does angst. Jack cowers
Speaker 4: in response, but Shawn's boss is even more impressed. The
Speaker 4: boss asks Sean to see if Terry is ready, and
Speaker 4: Shawn jumps to help, but Corey stops him. He wants
Speaker 4: to ask his best friend a question, tell me why
Speaker 4: you would consider giving up everything for this? And then
Speaker 4: a girl, Terry walks out from behind a curtain, wearing
Speaker 4: only a bikini and a Sarong. She asks Sean on
Speaker 4: how she looks, and he makes a quick adjustment to
Speaker 4: her hair. She kisses him on the cheek and exclaims,
Speaker 4: you're the best. Once the cute girl walks away, Corey's impatient,
Speaker 4: I'm waiting for an answer. Sean explains, I like working
Speaker 4: here and I'm good at it. They treat me with respect,
Speaker 4: I make a good paycheck and I'm learning a lot.
Speaker 4: I'm at least happy that Sean doesn't say, plus I
Speaker 4: get to work with hot chicks all the time. You know,
Speaker 4: at least he it's like that has nothing to do
Speaker 4: with his reason for being here.
Speaker 3: Has she been? Was she on the show before?
Speaker 5: Is this the one that was that had done something else?
Speaker 5: Because she looked familiar to me as well.
Speaker 3: Was she the one from the Driving episode?
Speaker 6: The Driving episode?
Speaker 3: I know, didn't you say it happened one?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: What is there one person?
Speaker 6: This was her first acting gig?
Speaker 3: No, that's Ricky Dale, that's Ricky Okay. No, this she
Speaker 3: looked very familiar to me. Maybe from this episode maybe yeh.
Speaker 4: Sean says that every single day he can't wait for
Speaker 4: school to be over so he can come to work
Speaker 4: and learn more. He's never felt that way about high school,
Speaker 4: and he probably won't about college either.
Speaker 6: He's found something.
Speaker 4: Here except for the whole episode, except for that whole
Speaker 4: episode where he really found something there at college. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Corey's unhappy. Well, you sound like you've already made your decision,
Speaker 4: Sean says, yeah, I have, But thanks for the advice.
Speaker 4: Corey tells him he's not going to give up on this.
Speaker 4: Sean laughs and rolls his eyes playfully. Of course you're not.
Speaker 4: Corey is less amused. Meanwhile, our new male model, Jack
Speaker 4: has his arms around two beautiful women. What am I
Speaker 4: going to college for? He's got two beautiful girls right here,
Speaker 4: so he's staying. Corey tries to get Jack to leave,
Speaker 4: but Jack doesn't let go of the models. Corey forcefully
Speaker 4: pushes the girls off of him and grabs Jack, eventually
Speaker 4: picking him up bridle style and not so gracefully carrying him.
Speaker 6: Out of the studio. This was impressive.
Speaker 3: It's a lot a lot going on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it looked it looked like he was No, I
Speaker 5: was gonna say, it looked like they hadn't rehearsed it.
Speaker 3: It looks like Ben just grabbed him and was But
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 5: Go back and look, because you see Matt's face, he's
Speaker 5: like he's almost jarred when he pulls him off of
Speaker 5: his feet, almost like Ben just grabbed him in.
Speaker 4: Well, and even the way he runs him out the door,
Speaker 4: his feet hit the edge of the door. It's just
Speaker 4: what it to me, all it looks like, is it
Speaker 4: felt precarious? It was, It felt a little it felt
Speaker 4: a little dangerous.
Speaker 5: I don't know, this is crazy because this seems like
Speaker 5: something Ben just did on a take, like he was
Speaker 5: supposed to just hustle him out and this time he
Speaker 5: went and grabbed him and lifted him up, because it
Speaker 5: didn't look like that was planned at all.
Speaker 4: And then we're outside Phoene's house. Corey frantically pounds on
Speaker 4: the door until Phoenie answers. He reminds Corey he has
Speaker 4: a doorbell. In response, Corey rings the doorbell as he's
Speaker 4: standing right there. Phoene pauses, then says, yes, Corey pleads,
Speaker 4: you're my last hope. I need you to talk to Sean.
Speaker 4: Phoene says he was actually just on the phone with him.
Speaker 5: Anything about this set, well, I know that there's a doorbell.
Speaker 5: All of a sudden, on the side of the house,
Speaker 5: which is.
Speaker 3: Kind of Phoenie's entire yard has been widened.
Speaker 1: Oh really Yeah, to the door is like an extra
Speaker 1: foot or two, so we have room for that bench
Speaker 1: seat on his side of the yard. I was like
Speaker 1: what at this first scene, I was like, there's something different.
Speaker 1: And then the next one I really noticed it because
Speaker 1: he got a wide shot and I see like.
Speaker 3: This is suddenly large.
Speaker 1: Oh and the other thing I noticed about that last
Speaker 1: scene I forgot to mention this. Do you guys notice
Speaker 1: how much gray there was? Like I'm wearing gray, Corey's
Speaker 1: wearing gray, and then the walls are all gray.
Speaker 3: I was like, what happened to our art department?
Speaker 5: Suddenly?
Speaker 1: It was like could have been an easy fix for wardrobe.
Speaker 1: For some reason, everybody's I was like, why are we
Speaker 1: blending into the back.
Speaker 5: It was like, just think it was autistic choice to
Speaker 5: show Corey that life is not black and all shades
Speaker 5: of gray.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 4: Corey gives Feenie a bear hug and thanks. Phoene reveals
Speaker 4: he told Sean that he supports his decision. Corey, still
Speaker 4: hugging him, yells into his shirt. He what Phoene reiterates,
Speaker 4: I gave him my blessing. Corey pulls away, what are
Speaker 4: you the pope? He reminds mister Feenie that he and
Speaker 4: Sean are supposed to go to college together. They're supposed
Speaker 4: to be roommates. Phoene gives him a reminder, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: but things change, and not just for students. Corey's frustrated.
Speaker 4: Why can't you ever just say what you mean? Why
Speaker 4: does everything you say have to have some hidden explanation.
Speaker 4: Phoenie gets right to the point, I'm retiring. Corey is
Speaker 4: shell shocked. What do you mean by that? Phoene admits
Speaker 4: the school board is offering early retirement and I've decided
Speaker 4: to take it. Corey doesn't understand. But you love teaching
Speaker 4: without teaching, You're not, mister Feenie, You're just crazy. George
Speaker 4: the guy next door.
Speaker 3: It's such a good line.
Speaker 6: It's so good.
Speaker 1: Eric went through this exact same thing right when Eric
Speaker 1: was going to college, and I.
Speaker 3: Love this, like, but you can't. Your only identity is
Speaker 3: a relation to me. It's me cute.
Speaker 5: But they gave Phoene to Eric, so we haven't seen
Speaker 5: Feenie and Corey in a way now and There's something
Speaker 5: nice and comforting about seeing the two of them back
Speaker 5: together behind that fence again.
Speaker 4: It really is funny how much bigger Ben is now?
Speaker 4: I know, right right, It's amazing. Yeah, Phoene smiles. There
Speaker 4: comes a time when making a change feels right. I'm
Speaker 4: thinking about moving to Jackson Hole, Wyoming Jackson Hole. No,
Speaker 4: no hole, Jackson Hole. I'll spend my time reading fishing.
Speaker 4: Who knows, I might become crazy George of Jackson Hole.
Speaker 4: Corey can't believe he's doing this, do you will?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 3: I don't remember this at all, So what was happening.
Speaker 4: I don't even think I had to say Jackson Hole
Speaker 4: in the episode.
Speaker 5: I just what everybody was telling us. We had to
Speaker 5: say it in a certain everybody being Michael. Michael was
Speaker 5: just cracking everybody.
Speaker 4: Hole, it's not Jackson Hole, it's Jackson Hole every single
Speaker 4: time at all.
Speaker 1: That's like I remember when Ben had a lie where
Speaker 1: he said Puerto Rico and he went Puerto Rico correctly,
Speaker 1: and Michael said what are you doing?
Speaker 3: What are you doing?
Speaker 1: And who spoke Spanish was like I'm saying it and
Speaker 1: he was like no, no, no, that's not funny.
Speaker 3: Funny's Puerto Rico. It's Puerto Rico. Say it just forcing
Speaker 3: ben Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico. What are you doing? You're
Speaker 3: ruining the joke.
Speaker 6: Corey can't believe he's doing this.
Speaker 4: He asks, what did you guys all do get together
Speaker 4: and decide to ruin my life? He storms away, and
Speaker 4: George calls after him, Corey, everything will be all right.
Speaker 4: Corey's in his backyard, clearly stressed. When Topanga walks up
Speaker 4: behind him, she gives a soft hi. Corey doesn't like
Speaker 4: the sound of that. She sits down next to him,
Speaker 4: holding an envelope in her hands. It's from Yale. He
Speaker 4: takes the envelope and places it on his forehead, like
Speaker 4: the amazing crescin. He guesses it's contents. Dear Corey, the
Speaker 4: IVY League is pleased to announce the further disintegration of
Speaker 4: your world. He rudely hands the letter back to Tapanga. Congratulations,
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 7: That I.
Speaker 6: Got it now.
Speaker 4: Thank you in your warmth, Thank you, Thank you feel
Speaker 4: so good? She asks, how did you know I was accepted?
Speaker 4: Corey shrugs, because I know the way my life works.
Speaker 1: This goes against I know again verse now is always
Speaker 1: against it. Always pushing them together. Isn't the point that
Speaker 1: Destiny like he should have absolute confidence.
Speaker 6: No problem. The universe wants us together.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's been the theme of this entire season and
Speaker 3: last season. So he kind of says it later, I
Speaker 3: mean they try to kind of do it.
Speaker 6: He's in one Corey Season one. Corey is the whole
Speaker 6: world is out to get much better.
Speaker 3: If we had just stuck with this, it would have
Speaker 3: been fine.
Speaker 4: Yeah, she rubs his leg, but everything is falling apart
Speaker 4: for young Corey. And then we cut to later. It's
Speaker 4: in the Matthew's backyard. Corey is now sitting alone, processing
Speaker 4: the events that have unfolded.
Speaker 6: Then Morgan welcome back, Morgan.
Speaker 3: Is she in her pajamas?
Speaker 5: She's saying the same thing back in the day.
Speaker 3: Do you guys think that we were afraid we were
Speaker 3: gonna get canceled?
Speaker 6: Because this feels like, yeah, we're.
Speaker 3: Building up some heavy like seats and drama.
Speaker 5: Yeah we were, we were. Yeah, we might have been
Speaker 5: on the bubble by this point.
Speaker 3: He engage, Oh, yeah, I don't. We must have been, like,
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, we might have. There could have been
Speaker 3: a real episodes. Yeah, yes, yeah, season five.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So so there's a real chance that maybe we'd
Speaker 5: be out by this point. Again, we talked about Dawson's
Speaker 5: Creek coming out, everything going more drama. I think single
Speaker 5: camera was much more important.
Speaker 3: Also, Ben was finishing high school.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a lot that a lot of things
Speaker 5: that could have changed.
Speaker 6: Ben going to Stanford.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a lot of stuff could have changed. You
Speaker 5: were in college. Yeah, so there is a chance we
Speaker 5: were on the bubble. That might have been why they
Speaker 5: did the wedding thing.
Speaker 6: She explains, Mom and dad sent me out to see
Speaker 6: if you were okay. Are you?
Speaker 4: Corey tells her the truth, I've been better. He makes
Speaker 4: room for her and asks, how about you. Morgan confesses
Speaker 4: I've been better too. I got a sixty seven on
Speaker 4: my history test. Corey responds, you're not going to do
Speaker 4: anything silly like not go to college and get a job,
Speaker 4: are you.
Speaker 6: Morgan tells him no.
Speaker 4: Corey continues, You're not going to have a baby, or
Speaker 4: go to Yale or retire to Wyoming. Morgan reminds him
Speaker 4: she's still a little girl. Corey puts his arm around
Speaker 4: her and they give each other a hug. He kisses
Speaker 4: her on the forehead and whispers God bless you.
Speaker 6: Is this maybe Lindsay's biggest.
Speaker 4: Scene this in the next two Yeah, she's.
Speaker 3: Allowed to be a character in a scene.
Speaker 5: Well, she actually apparently had much. Did you guys read
Speaker 5: the thing? That was a producer Jensen that sent us
Speaker 5: the email that somebody found that they cut a lot
Speaker 5: of her scene from Eric Hollywood.
Speaker 4: She had one extra line. I think, yeah, it was
Speaker 4: a line. I think it was just one line.
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, I don't know what it was. She thinks.
Speaker 3: I think she's selling something.
Speaker 4: Or I thought she just said something more in the
Speaker 4: tushy line, there was something more.
Speaker 3: A thing like that. Yeah, there was one or two
Speaker 3: lines I think that where she was said something.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how big of a scene it was,
Speaker 1: but there was a nice moment in the Raging Cory
Speaker 1: episode with Alan where he talks to her.
Speaker 5: And the loser freak stuff when she comes down singing
Speaker 5: with all the stuff is very funny too.
Speaker 1: But I think this is going back to really the pilot,
Speaker 1: because doesn't Corey and Morgan have like a moment in
Speaker 1: the pilot.
Speaker 6: That's kind of sure, But that was Lily.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I was in the backyard, like they're
Speaker 1: in the treehouse right, and here they are in the
Speaker 1: backyard again.
Speaker 3: I kind of had even though it's a different actor.
Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, it's nostalgia for season one.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, I think, doesn't it doesn't this kind
Speaker 5: of start the she has more things to do coming
Speaker 5: up because this led me to remember like becoming a
Speaker 5: bridesmaid and doing didn't They start to give her kind
Speaker 5: of a few more things.
Speaker 3: To do and she got a little older, she got older.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well then we're back in Chubby's. Corey and Morgan
Speaker 4: are sitting across from one another, and Corey explains, this
Speaker 4: has been my booth since.
Speaker 6: Before you were born, Morgan.
Speaker 4: In fact, I was sitting in this very booth when
Speaker 4: they told me I had a baby sister. Morgan asks,
Speaker 4: so this place means a lot to you. Corey nods,
Speaker 4: it's the last place left that makes any sense. She
Speaker 4: tells him he's going crazy. Corey is in denial. No,
Speaker 4: the world is going crazy. Everything is changing so fast
Speaker 4: that I just want to be in the one place
Speaker 4: I can count on, with the one person I can
Speaker 4: count on.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 4: The waitress from earlier, Maria is now dressed as a
Speaker 4: pirate and asks what they like. Corey rattles off two
Speaker 4: Chubby Burgers, two fries, and two root peers. The woman
Speaker 4: repeats his order, two Buccaneer Burgers, two treasure Taters, and
Speaker 4: true two root peers. Corey's confused, why are you talking
Speaker 4: like that? And Maria, what are you wearing? Morgan begs Maria,
Speaker 4: please don't tell him. The woman realizes, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 4: you don't know. Morgan begs again, please don't tell him.
Speaker 4: Corey asks, don't know what. Maria announces everything's changed. The
Speaker 4: camera zooms out to reveal that Chubby's has been completely
Speaker 4: transformed into a pirate themed restaurant. They're swashbuckling decor everywhere
Speaker 4: and it's now called peg Leg Piezz. Pirate music plays
Speaker 4: as Corey stares into the distance. This is the last straw?
Speaker 3: Is this the end of Chubbies?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I think so Chubbies. No, it's peg the restaurant changed.
Speaker 5: I don't think Chubbies ever comes back. Wait, because now
Speaker 5: we're in everything we would do with Chubbies, we're now
Speaker 5: doing in the common of Pembrook. So I don't We
Speaker 5: might see Chubbies, but I don't think it's ever Chubby.
Speaker 6: We have to see Chubbies in the next episode we have.
Speaker 3: It has to be changes, Danielle.
Speaker 6: No, no, I don't want it, writer, I don't.
Speaker 1: Want to when we do, when we do a Chubbies
Speaker 1: pop up, should we have it?
Speaker 5: Like convert to peg Leg's like a buccaneer Burger funny.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's funny.
Speaker 3: I'd like a buccaneer burger.
Speaker 6: I'm so hungry.
Speaker 3: I'm so hungry.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, let's get through this episode quick.
Speaker 3: I made Smashburger's last night. They were wonderful.
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I'll take an invite. Well, I
Speaker 4: live very close, you do, I'll take an invite for
Speaker 4: So we transitioned to later. At peg Leg, Pete scry
Speaker 4: sitting at his booth alone, he wails Chubby. New waitress
Speaker 4: Maria points out that he's been here for over three hours.
Speaker 6: Corey whales even louder Chubby.
Speaker 4: Maria says that Chubby moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and
Speaker 4: pulls Corey out of his seat. Can you sit on
Speaker 4: this barrel over here while the workers piratize your booth?
Speaker 4: Workers start immediately taking all the parts of Corey's beloved
Speaker 4: booth away as Corey focuses his anger. Oh yeah, right,
Speaker 4: like it would take just a few seconds to change
Speaker 4: a booth where my girlfriend and I reunited eight different
Speaker 4: times to change a booth. Were my best friend and
Speaker 4: I dressed up like women to prove a point or something.
Speaker 6: I forget that was.
Speaker 3: Oh god, I forgot about that line.
Speaker 6: It's such a good line, very funny.
Speaker 3: For some reason, I forget.
Speaker 4: He's too busy shouting to realize his booth has already
Speaker 4: been piratized. He declares, I doubt very much, Missy, that
Speaker 4: you can change that hit that much history in just
Speaker 4: a few seconds, and then he sees the new booth
Speaker 4: and another waiter places a pirate hat on his head
Speaker 4: to boot Corey throws his hands in the air.
Speaker 6: Wrong again.
Speaker 4: It's very season and it's like all the last seasons
Speaker 4: of Corey. Everything he learned and everything he believes out
Speaker 4: the door for back to season one, Corey. That's when
Speaker 4: Morgan and Eric walk in. Corey complains to his little sister,
Speaker 4: I ask you to get help, and you bring him.
Speaker 4: Morgan responds, I was worried about you. You were acting
Speaker 4: like a psycho. Eric looks around the restaurant. It's about
Speaker 4: time this place got some class. He grabs a menu
Speaker 4: and asks if anyone wants to split a couple of
Speaker 4: Buccaneer burgers. Then he looks at Corey's hat and realizes,
Speaker 4: I get it. It's pirates. Corey explains his predicament, I've
Speaker 4: worked so hard and so long to keep everything together.
Speaker 4: What am I supposed to do? Just pretend everything's okay?
Speaker 4: Eric nods, you're scared of change.
Speaker 6: Huh.
Speaker 4: He went through that same thing when he graduated high school.
Speaker 4: That's why I took a year off. Morgan reminds him
Speaker 4: he didn't have the grades to get into college. Eric shouts,
Speaker 4: I'm talking here. Eric ushers Corey to sit down and
Speaker 4: tells his younger brother, good things are happening to your friends,
Speaker 4: and you need to be happy for them or else?
Speaker 6: What kind of friend are you?
Speaker 3: Nice advice?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Then Maria walks up. Okay, may you're the first
Speaker 4: to walk the plank. She sets a burger down and
Speaker 4: tells Corey to let her know how it is. Corey says,
Speaker 4: if I take a bite of this, it's like Chubby's
Speaker 4: is just a memory. It's like everything's changing and we
Speaker 4: don't know what's going to happen. Eric tells him to
Speaker 4: just taste it, so Corey takes a very small bite.
Speaker 6: Oh no, it's good.
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but she says, you're the first person to
Speaker 5: walk the plank, so see, the first person to.
Speaker 3: Try the burger. But there's one hundred people in the restaurant.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and his booth was the last to be priratized.
Speaker 4: They just prioritized him because.
Speaker 6: He's Corey in the universe. Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Maria smiles and walks away. Then Jack, Sean, Angela, and
Speaker 4: Topanga come running into the restaurant. Jack asks what happened
Speaker 4: to Chubby's. Corey tells him it's not Chubbies anymore. It's
Speaker 4: peg leg Pete's. Sean scoffs, We've got to do something
Speaker 4: about this. Corey interrupts him by shoving the burger in
Speaker 4: his face for a taste. Shawn's eyebrows raise never mind.
Speaker 4: He takes the burger and gives it to Jack so
Speaker 4: he can try. Jack refuses, No, No, I have a
Speaker 4: modeling career. Now Beef goes right to the hips.
Speaker 5: Now wait, rider, I was thinking about this during am
Speaker 5: I recalling this right weren't you a vegetarian at this point?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm may clearly.
Speaker 5: I think I remember you saying like it can't be beef,
Speaker 5: like I remember having you having this discussion about you know, I.
Speaker 3: Was never that picky. I think if Ben wouldn't have
Speaker 3: eaten a veggie burger, I would have just eaten the beef.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, men would have eaten a veggie burger.
Speaker 3: I think I must have. I'm guessing it was a vege.
Speaker 3: I think if they had asked, I would have been like, yeah,
Speaker 3: if it can be a vegge burger, and yeah, but
Speaker 3: I know I wouldn't know. It was never that pick.
Speaker 3: I would cheat all the time, you know, oh really
Speaker 3: not all the time. But yeah, I was never like soup.
Speaker 4: It was just yeah, can we discuss the idea that
Speaker 4: they put zero effort into making it look like the
Speaker 4: burger is delicious burger?
Speaker 5: I know it's just a hockey puck or even like
Speaker 5: a pirate, like put a little hat on it.
Speaker 6: Or something anything.
Speaker 4: I come on, Corey asks everyone to sit down. They
Speaker 4: need to have a talk to Pang is the first
Speaker 4: to speak the letter from Yale. I was just really
Speaker 4: excited about getting accepted, but I want to be with you.
Speaker 6: Corey okay.
Speaker 4: Corey nods, I want to be with you too, But
Speaker 4: this is Yale we're talking about. You can't just give
Speaker 4: that up, and I accept that. Eric earnestly says, good
Speaker 4: for you.
Speaker 6: Corey.
Speaker 4: Tapanga tries to argue Yale's in Corey stops her. I
Speaker 4: don't care if Yale is on the other side of
Speaker 4: the moon. Nothing is going to keep us apart. Then
Speaker 4: he turns to Sean. I still think you're making the
Speaker 4: biggest mistake of your life, but I accept it. Sean smiles. Thanks, Corey,
Speaker 4: I'll try to make you proud. Eric chimes in, there's
Speaker 4: going to be a lot of changes in your life.
Speaker 6: Corey.
Speaker 4: It's not the changes that matter, it's how you react
Speaker 4: to the changes. That's what makes you who you are.
Speaker 4: Corey agrees, I even accept the fact that Phoene's retiring.
Speaker 4: Eric squeezes out of the top of his lungs. Oh
Speaker 4: my god, it was so funny. Corey explains he's moving
Speaker 4: to Jackson Hole. Eric whimpers here in Philadelphia. Jack comments, no,
Speaker 4: in Hawaii, you incredible, unbelievable moron. Eric is freaking out.
Speaker 4: How can veenye do that. I need him. He's my mentor.
Speaker 4: I go to him for everything. Corey eats a fry. Unmoved,
Speaker 4: Eric asks why he isn't more upset about this, and
Speaker 4: Corey points out things change and the screen fades to black,
Speaker 4: and I really felt like this isn't the end of
Speaker 4: Corey's spiral. I have absolutely no idea what the next
Speaker 4: episode graduation. I know it's graduation engagement, but I don't
Speaker 4: know what the episode is actually about.
Speaker 6: Right, I know, we graduate. I think it's about you,
Speaker 6: it's got to be, but maybe.
Speaker 3: He plays the scene it's It was an interesting.
Speaker 6: Kind of it's like a marriad that detached.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very just like he's dead inside, I know.
Speaker 4: And that's why that's why I was thinking, like the
Speaker 4: next episode it's going to be an optical.
Speaker 3: Flan God, yeah exactly.
Speaker 6: It's like because it's I don't buy it, just.
Speaker 5: Just this detached like, yeah, things change and you can.
Speaker 5: It was really an interesting kind of monotone.
Speaker 4: Yes, I really feel like it was foreshadowing of something
Speaker 4: that's we don't buy it.
Speaker 6: So then we're in the tag and we're in Phoene's backyard.
Speaker 4: Eric walks up holding a surfboard and wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaker 4: Mister Phoenie Dude Feene opens the doors and sighs, regretting
Speaker 4: this immediately what Eric goes on, there's a gnarly curl
Speaker 4: bra Let's go get tubed. Phoene says under his breath,
Speaker 4: all right, here I go. So what's with the board?
Speaker 1: Bro?
Speaker 5: Just hearing Bill saying lines like that, it's it's should
Speaker 5: be ridiculous, it make you feel bad, and it's just
Speaker 5: it's so great.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's so funny. Ough.
Speaker 4: Eric explains, I'm coming with you to Jackson Hole, surfing
Speaker 4: capital of the world. Phoene is dumbfounded. Eric, do you
Speaker 4: have any idea where Jackson Hole is? Eric grins, sure
Speaker 4: do Hawaii. Feenie yells, it's in Wyoming, you macadamia nut.
Speaker 4: He asks if they surf in Wyoming and Phoene shakes
Speaker 4: his head no. Eric wonders, then what do they do
Speaker 4: in this Wyoming? Phoene explains they take the time to
Speaker 4: enjoy God's beautiful landscape. They stop to appreciate their quiet
Speaker 4: surroundings and contemplate on what life is all about. Eric
Speaker 4: admits that sounds like a nice place. Phoene smiles and nods,
Speaker 4: yes it is. Eric wonders if I'm really really quiet,
Speaker 4: will you stay.
Speaker 6: The crowd all?
Speaker 4: Phoene's face softens. He doesn't answer. He just looks down
Speaker 4: at the ground and we fade out, and that is
Speaker 4: our episode.
Speaker 1: I think this is all just a big cliffhanger to
Speaker 1: set up. Yeah, so to make it a big like
Speaker 1: to get us back for season six.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that would be the wedding.
Speaker 5: I mean, so obviously they know they're getting engaged at
Speaker 5: this point, I mean the actually.
Speaker 1: But they're setting it up as if like this whole
Speaker 1: show is going to change, and you know, the story
Speaker 1: must continue like we have.
Speaker 4: It's a bit of a mislead, Oh to Pega may
Speaker 4: go to Yale.
Speaker 1: Because think about this, after this episode, or if if
Speaker 1: this episode had high ratings, everybody would come back the
Speaker 1: next week and give it even higher ratings. You know,
Speaker 1: it was smart to serialize the last two episodes to
Speaker 1: end on a high note for the season, so that
Speaker 1: we get picked up for the next one.
Speaker 5: I'm dying to know if we knew by this point
Speaker 5: or not, because I don't think it.
Speaker 3: Also, but it also makes sense that if we did.
Speaker 5: Know, then you get everybody together in the same school, like,
Speaker 5: you know, because everybody's getting into Pembrooke, So they're setting
Speaker 5: up that everybody's going to Penbrook already. So it makes
Speaker 5: sense that if we were already picked up, but they
Speaker 5: would do.
Speaker 1: You have to have it both ways, right, you have
