Eric is doing really well in his internship at the TV studio and seems to think He has found his niche especially after He fills in as temporary weatherman. Thinking He doesn't need education now that He is on TV He considers dropping out of high school despite being close to graduation. Alan tries to be the understanding Dad but then gets angry at him.
I liked this episode because it shows that Eric really is at a crossroads. He doesn't know what He wants to do with his life. Yes, Eric had to suffer a setback but He emerges from it older and wiser. Alan proves to be one of the best sitcom Dads ever (not perfect but pragmatic) and their heart-to-heart conversation at the end is really sweet.
The "B" plot with Shawn and Dana is superfluous. Shawn and Dana get upset when Jonathan Turner starts dating Dana's Mom for fear they might end up "sisters" as Shawn says. That being said, Larisa Oleynik is cute and adorable. She is essentially playing a more feminine Alex Mack in this episode.
