The wonder years 35-37

The first episode I saw was jack's dad(kevin's grandpa) coming to the arnold house to visit while also bringing presents like most grandparents. He gives kevin a puppy which jack disagrees with. The majority of this episode is spent seeing jack and grandpa arnold argue over any little thing. Jack eventually see's that the dog is what the arnold family needs so he lets kevin keep him which kevin names buster.

The 2nd episode I saw was part 1 of a 2 part episode. Paul gets dumped by his girlfriend carla which bums him out and makes him a buzzkill at school. Kevin talks to winnie to ask paul out on a date as a way to get his confidence up. This backfires when paul starts liking winnie which also makes kevin jealous. Winnie eventually lets paul down easily after 3 dates saying she still likes kevin but not to tell him that. Kevin figures it out from paul's expression and goes to winnie's house to tell her the good news. She (like most women) complicates matters when she says she never wants to talk to him again and slams the door on him. This episode encapsulates love at any age perfectly. It is confusing even though both people may know what they want. 

The 3rd episode picks up from the previous one. The next day kevin is going to drop off a please forgive me valentine in winnie's locker however he accidentally leaves it in becky slater's locker. Becky confronts kevin and she is willing to kevin him another chance, not wanting to complicate things further, kevin tells her it was meant for winnie and he has no feelings for her. Becky of course gets really mad and tries to run over kevin after school on her bike. Cupid(played by kevin's real life brother and future corey matthews, ben savage) gets in her way and she falls in front of a guy and then it's love at first sight. Kevin confesses his true feelings to winnie and she admits her feelings for him then they tenderly hold hands.  I had to add, the whole winnie cooper having her own guitar theme song everytime she comes on screen is starting to get weird and distracting
