The wonder years 65 and 66

The first episode is about the popular couple(brad and marci) and the yearbook team. In class, kevin is seen passing notes between them and he covers for them therefore only getting himself in trouble. They are impressed and invite him to make up quotes for the school yearbook. Kevin feels like one of the popular kids until he is forced to make a hard decision. Brad and marci have him make up a quote for a chubby unpopular yet doesn't care about anyone kid. Kevin goes with "pig" as the quote at the urging of brad and marci. In p.e. class kevin gets to know the "pig" and finds out he's not so bad and he made a mistake in using that quote. He gets called into the principal's office where he is the only one that gets in trouble for the quote. He realizes that being popular isn't all it's cracked up to be and brad and marci are quick to sell him out.

The 2nd episode is a really good one. Kevin is reminiscing about winnie and how most of his life revolves around her and he has known her for a long time. While kevin is day dreaming, winnie pops out of nowhere to chat with him but she is distant. Kevin picks up on this and thinks she is drifting away. Thanks to paul he finds out that roger dumped winnie. At the ice rink winnie seems fine in front of her 11th grade friends. Kevin feels like she is going for the allure of a driver's license. He tries to chat with her but she keeps pulling away and he tries to hang onto her(for balance, he's a bad ice skater) while mentioning foreshadowing quotes such as "Kevin your holding me back" and "winnie I need you". It turns out she wants kevin to forget the last 3 years and puts him further in the friendzone. Kevin doesnt give up easily so when he hears that winnie was in a accident he rushes over to her house. He runs into her parents at the front yard and they say he should just leave her alone. Kevin still doesn't give up so he turns into a young stalker and somehow gets onto the 2nd floor roof. He see's winnie and this is where I have hard time believing this happened. Winnie is in bad shape and looks fragile and kevin says I love you. She of course mouths it back and that is that. I'm sure any girl will magically fall for a guy if he sneaks outside her window.
