This episode has to be one of the best. It has your usual Kevin Arnold narration from adulthood. Fred savage is very good in this episode. And also one of the best characters I've seen in any episode of this show, Linda Sloan. Played by Maia Brewton. I love the developing friendship between the two. They sure look like they belong with each other steady or friendship. I personally think Kevin would of done way better with Linda. But anyway, the first 2/3rds of this episode is definitely excellent. But It gets to where it runs out of steam in the last 3rd. Because I thought there should of been some closure. More appropriate explanation would of been nice. But that happens with this show. Some characters are never explained in their later lives. But I still love it no matter. Maia is truly beautiful in this. Even when she is wearing her (as I call them) civilian clothes or school clothes. The very end is a genius way to end the episode. Kevin sure let this one slip through his fingers. The 1st 2/3rds get 10/10. And the last 3rd gets a 7/10. I'm pretty generous with my ratings.

I love this show and if it has a Jump the Shark moment I reckon the last four minutes of this episode are it. The acting from in particular Savage and Brewton is astoundingly good for their age. Look at the expressions on his face when he is solo on camera before he goes looking for who turns out to be Winnie. And the directing and editing over the final narration is just brilliant. I love the way Winnie appears in the last scene. She had not been in the episode up until that point and doesn't even have any lines. But they're not Kevin and Winnie there - they just symbolize any two people lost in a crowded world looking for each other. And the music .... words fail me.
