The wonder years 79-82

The first episode I saw was about the class difference between the arnolds and the pfeiffers. Paul's dad alvin, makes a killing on some beach front property so he goes on a shopping spree. Kevin realizes that things are different between the 2 families especially when he meets paul after his prep school. At the country club, norma proposes a toast for the pfeiffers good fortune. Alvin spills the beans and reveals he lost everything.  The arnolds console him and later that night paul and kevin patch things up. Paul mentions he is going to mckinley high with kevin and winnie(who has hardly been in season 5 so far).

The 2nd episode is about kevin getting his driver's license. At driving school, kevin is a natural with driving except for parallel parking. Jack lets him drive and kevin chokes when he has to park between 2 cars. At the dmv kevin can't handle the stress and leaves without taking his test. His parents and brother throw him a mini party with cake for getting his license. Jack even gives him a pair of keys to the family car. Kevin makes up some lame excuse of his license being in his other wallet in his other pants since apparently in the early 70's you would get your plastic license the same day. Kevin decides to sneak out at night to take the car to practice parking however he backs into the lawn mower he forgot to put back. Jack sees him and takes him to practive. Kevin finally passes and gets his license then gets it taken away for one month.

The 3rd episode I saw was about kevin's grandpa and his car. Grandpa albert calls from the police station saying that he was in an accident. Apparently his eyesight is so bad that he hit a parked car which doesn't explain why he's in a police station. Jack doesn't want him driving but albert is stubborn and insists on driving everywhere while his license is suspended. Albert wants kevin to drive him back home so they go off on their journey. Albert wants to stop at a lot of little stores and half way through the trip he takes the wheel. Albert gets distracted by his memories and almost crashes the car. He realizes that he is getting to old to drive so he sells his car to kevin for $1 and kevin is happy to have his own car. He will always remember his first car because it was his grandpa's last

The 4th episode I saw was about kevin's new english teacher. She's young and fresh out of grad school and has weird teaching methods. She encourages her students to be creative and lets the students choose what grade they deserve in the class. Jack is upset because kevin can only get a Pass or a No Pass and wants him to get a normal grade. The school principal gives miss shaw a choice of continuing to teach the class but she must follow state policies or find another teaching job. She decides to quit suddenly.
