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.

This episode was mostly center on Eric dilemma between his possible non graduation situation and the station is working on. I have to say, the fight scene on the kitchen on his birthday was a rough one to watch. Alan was really hard on him, too much, he was really insensitive. He didn't even try to consider the fact that for the first time on Eric's life, he felt good doing something he's good at AND most importantly he's thinking he's good at which happens so little time if not ever. College it's important for sure but not the only way out to success in life. Anyway, Alan did really treat him unfairly in that one and don't even try to hide the fact he considers his job insignificant, he was frankly irritating even if he fixed it in the end though Eric expression face when first Cory wishes him happy birthday and after Amy, I don't know he's always touching me as much as Shawn, maybe that's why they're both my favorite characters by far : they got that ability to make me laugh out loud as much as deeply touching me, they deliver so much through their eyes, gestures and even tone voices, I just can't stand seeing them getting hurt.
