The 1st episode I saw was about karen encouraging kevin to ditch school with her and her friends. They keep this up for a few days while karen's guidance counselor is looking for her. It all hits the fan when the counselor schedules a parent teacher conference. Karen decides to run away to san francisco rather then get in trouble. Kevin stays up worrying about if he'll ever see his sister again. She does come back and the family has a tearful reunion.
The 2nd episode I saw was about square dancing. Everyone in gym class is paired up with a permanent partner. Kevin's partner is the school weirdo named margret. Everyone laughs at kevin and he feels like a laughingstock. While kevin only see's her as a square dancing partner, margret wants to hang out with kevin after school. She comes over to his house(I don't know how she found out where he lives) and kevin actually makes an effort. He finds out she is a pretty nice girl but wayne has to ruin it by chatting with her. Kevin promised to go to her house later tonight but he ding dong ditches. The next day margret confronts kevin and he lets it all out that they should be secret friends, she takes it pretty bad exclaiming "I thought you were different". Kevin dances with her one last time while explaining that in 7th grade you only care about being cool
The 3rd episode I saw was about harper's woods which is the place where kevin and winnie had their first kiss in the pilot episode. Kevin and winnie walk to the woods to have a kiss but paul finds them and he informs them there are construction workers. Sadly paul is not lying, the workers inform the gang that they can stay until the bulldozers come. The group mulls it over with karen over what to do. Kevin gives a passionate speech at a board meeting about how his childhood is in those woods and of course he makes no impact. The 3 of them go to the park at night one last time to see what they can do. Winnie decides to count to play hide and go seek. So they play like children one last time. The next day it was torn down. The episode ends with a shot of 2 kids skateboarding on a sidewalk where the camera pans down and you see the initials K.A. W.C. P.P.
I like how this show knows how to get you right in your childhood. Each episode always makes you feel something. It is better then any rom com or chick flick especially the kevin and winnie episodes.
