The first episode I saw was pretty straight forward. Paul has a little sister named debbie who has her school dance coming up. She see's kevin as her hero and has a huge crush on him. He thinks the whole idea is cheesy and will make him a laughingstock if he is seen with a little girl. So when debbie runs into kevin he accepts her offer to go to the dance with her. At the dance, kevin is being a wet blanket and is clearly running through the motions. Debbie is disappointed when he doesn't want to take a picture with her and her grandma's earring falls into the pool. Kevin jumps in with his suit on and retrives it, making him a hero in debbie's eyes and turning the mood around. They get some pictures taken together and kevin realizes debbie still has time to grow up and find out who her true heros are.
The 2nd episode I saw was really touching. Everyone is asking jack for material things but norma's is the most important one because her stove gave up the ghost. Jack asks for a raise at his job in order to get the $250 for a stove(which is 1,650.00 in today's money). He actually gets a raise and a new position as regional manager. The arnold family finds out the regional part means a lot of travel. Jack has to take a business trip while norma orders her stove. Jack calls with news that he won't be home in time for thanksgiving dinner(yeah it was suddenly november). The thanksgiving dinner is awkward without jack and no one knows how to carve the turkey. Norma goes off to be alone to cry when she gets a phone call who turns out to be jack with some good news. The arnold family goes to the airport to pick him up and it ends with adult kevin mentioning "he came home to see the girl he loved"
