First up was the last episode of season 4 and it was a flashback episode. Taking place after the middle school graduation, kevin looks back on his jr high years and winnie and paul and his teachers. It's pretty standard clipshow stuff.
The 2nd episode is about the arnolds and the pfeiffers going on a joint summer vacation in a small town. We can see how kevin has grown and he has a deep voice now. Paul went through bigger changes including ditching his glasses for contacts. He also seemingly grew 2 feet. They decide to tour the small town and kevin see's a pretty girl in the back of a truck.The boys get bored and convince wayne and wart to take them to the drive in. Wayne being a jerk like always, kicks them out of the car so paul and kevin wander along until kevin see's cara(yes her name is cara) from earlier. Kevin hits it off with her and he spends all his seemingly free time with her even putting her ahead of a fishing trip with jack. When it comes time for the families to leave, kevin and cara realize they only had a summer fling and the relationship wouldn't last. It's funny how paul plays the role of the kid with a condom in his wallet(which his mom finds and freaks out).
The 3rd episode I saw is about kevin's 1st day of high school. He already feels alone without paul(he went to a private school) and for some reason decides not to look for winnie. An old classmate named stuart prevents kevin from hitting on a pretty girl, he also has a knack for showing up at the worst possible times. During lunch, winnie invites kevin to sit with her but as soon as he makes a step, some varsity football players come out of nowhere to sit next to winnie. Things keep getting worse for kevin, wayne and wart give him a swirly for stepping on the school seal. Kevin's government teacher (Mr Bottner) decides to give kevin a hard time when he makes a smart alec comment. For example, he makes kevin redo his entire paper because he can't read it and gives him a weeks detention for some made up reason. Kevin feels like he has nothing to lose so he rips out a piece of paper from his notebook(Mr B hates that sound) and this encourages his classmates to do the same. Later on we see him and others TPing Mr B's house while kevin realizes they are all on the same journey.
The 4th episode was about kevin's 1st job which he got thanks to jack. Kevin works at a hardware store similar to true value hardware. Kevin doesn't like the way his boss treats him and how old fashioned he is. At the mall, kevin and paul and a new friend lewis, check out a classmate working at a burger kiosk in the food court. Kevin asks the classmate how much he makes and he decides to work there and quit his hardware store job. His boss wants to keep him so he gives kevin a raise to match the burger place. Jack decides to go to the mall instead of the hardware store which makes kevin realize the world is passing the hardware store by. He eventually quits and works at the burger place briefly but he reflects back on the lessons he learned and every time he picks up a flathead screwdriver he will think of that store.
