Julius Carry guests as Angela's military-man dad Sgt. Moore. The arrival of her father forces Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) to confront the real reason that she does not want to get back together with Shawn (Rider Strong)--and it has something to do with "like mother, like daughter." Meanwhile, Shawn attempts to prove that he's worthy of Angela by going through boot camp; and Cory (Ben Savage)--remember him?--is still endeavoring to patch things up with Topanga (Danielle Fishel), even as Eric (Will Friedle) plots vengeance against the girl for humiliating him in the previous episode's wrestling match. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Shawn (Rider Strong) is down in the dumps after receiving a letter from his mom Virna, informing him that she isn't his real birth mother. It takes a ghostly visitation from Shawn's dad Chet (Blake Clark) to help him get his act back together...with a little help from his friends, especially Cory (Ben Savage). Elsewhere, Eric (Will Friedle) comes up with some bizarre diversionary tactics while planning a surprise birthday party for his dad Alan (William Russ). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Boy Meets World takes a break from several weeks' worth of angst over the romance between Cory (Ben Savage) and Topanga (Danielle Fishel) with this wild-and-wooly takeoff of the popular horror flick Scream (which was something of a takeoff itself). While Cory (Ben Savage) and his friends are serving weekend detention, a shrouded killer begins picking the students off one by one. Everyone panics but Shawn (Rider Strong), who has seen enough scary movies to figure out what will happen next--at least until Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) turns up murdered as well! It's giving nothing away to reveal that the whole experience is literally a nightmare...and keep an eye out for Jennifer Love Hewitt, more or less playing herself. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Topanga (Danielle Fishel) and Angela (Trina McGee-Davis) get jobs at a Mexican restaurant, a fact that Cory and Shawn learn to their embarrassment when they make fools of themselves ordering dinner. It gets worse when the girls go out dancing with their handsome coworkers Nunzio (Jonathan Del Arco) and Sergio (Matt Sedeno). Elsewhere, a woman named Katherine (Sue Casey) asks Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) for a date--but he's too self-absorbed to realize it!. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Now that he's an intern at a local TV station, Eric (Will Friedle) is devoting so much time and energy to the job that his grades (none too good to begin with) are suffering. In fact, if Eric doesn't start buckling down, there's a strong possibility that he won't graduate. Problem is, Eric doesn't care at this point: he quits school to pursue his lifelong dream of being a meterorologist, blissfully unaware that a job of this nature requires at the very least a high school diploma! Elsewhere, Shawn's (Rider Strong) relationship with Dana (Larisa Oleynik) is adversely affected by the growing attraction between Dana's mom Susan (Rosalind Allen) and Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

To keep Virna (Shareen Mitchell) from walking out on him again, Chet (Blake Clark) agrees to look for work. He ends up as janitor at Adams High School, causing great mortification for his son Shawn (Rider Strong)--who begs Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) to fire Chet, little realizing the consequences of his actions. And back at the wilderness store, Alan (William Russ) and Eric (Will Friedle) advertise for employees, whereupon a weird hillbilly named Ezekial (Mickey Jones) answers their call. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Cory (Ben Savage) isn't too concerned when he accidentally loses the silver boxing-glove bracelet given to him by his dad Alan (William Russ) as a birthday present. But his attitude abruptly changes when he finds out that Alan had won the bracelet in a Navy boxing tournament, and thus the trinket is lot more "valuable" than first imagined. In a panic, Cory and Eric (Will Friedle) launch a search for the necklace which ends in the school gym's swimming pool--and would have ended tragically had not Mr. Feeny (William Daniels) appeared in the obligatory Nick of Time. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Having promised not to give his students a test on The Grapes of Wrath if they promise to study the book and give proof that they understand it, Mr. Turner (Anthony Tyler Quinn) breaks his promise under pressure from Mr. Feeny (William Daniels). Outraged, Cory (Ben Savage) and Shawn (Rider Strong) emulate the Steinbeck novel by going into full "social protest" mode, spearheading a student strike--only to go too far as usual by making ridiculous demands. Predictably, Feeny retaliates, but by episode's end everyone has learned a lesson (tied in with the assigned book, of course). Meanwhile, Eric has trouble maintaining both his friendship with Jason (Jason Marsden) and his romance with manipulative Southern belle Desiree ($Sydney Bennett). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Underachiever Cory (Ben Savage) and nerdy Minkus (Lee Norris) manage to make the school's basketball team--not the "A" squad, of course, but the "B" group. Alas, having been relegated to second-class-citizen status, the boys may never get into an actual game. . .and worse, Cory begins to feel like a "B-Team" member of his own family. It is Mr. Feeny (William Daniels), of all people, who gives Cory the pep talk that changes his attitude, yielding results that are surprising indeed. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
