This episode never fails to make me cry and I've seen it just about a dozen times. My favorite line in the whole episode is right after Cory and Topanga get back together and kiss Topanga says, "Boy, I sure felt that one." This episode is the perfect blend of comedy and poignancy. The only thing that is a little too far fetched is the fact that Topanga needed an experience almost exactly like Cory's to know that what happened between Cory and Lauren didn't mean a thing. If anyone has trust issues it's definitely Topanga. That being said, This is far an away my favorite episode of the entire series and in my opinion one of if not the best episode of a 90's sitcom ever. Cory and Topanga are television royalty!moreless

topanga goes out with a sweet intellectual guy she met. she enjoys the date, but what will happen when she and him kiss? is this the end of cory and topanga, forever?

good episode and the ending with topanga and cory getting back together is definitely one of the best endings of the entire series. the overall episode did not have many laughs, but it did have a good, interesting, and sad plot that made me want to just see how it ended. and so because of all this, the overall grade for the episode, from me, is an A+moreless

In appreciation of Van Gough's "Starry Night."

9.0

By Canogaparkcindy, Jun 20, 2010

Although I did feel that they focused too much on the painting in this episode, this episode was very memorable. And it had some lines that were just moving in general. In the wake of Cory & Topanga's breakup, Topanga meets Ricky Ferris. He asks her out on a date, right after , they spend the whole day talking to each other about Van Gough's painting: "Starry Night" They end up kissing on their date. Does this strike you as familar? That's right folks, it's the exact same situation Cory went through with Lauren. I think the writers realized the only way Topanga was going to take Cory back is if she had to go through some self realization by going through the same situation Cory did.

When Topanga goes out with Ricky, everyone starts to lose hope for Cory and Topanga, even Shawn. The problem with his episode is that there was only one thing going on. All it was for the most part, is everyone talking about the painting until the eventful end of course, which made up for it. The script was amazing, I just felt as though they put too much emphasis on the painting. By the end, Topanga takes Cory back when she realizes she is in love with him. I'm sure that made a lot of fans happy, which made this episode really great as a whole, even though it had it's flaws.moreless

My favorite episode!

I loved this episode because I think that Cory and Topanga are a really cute couple and I was very happy to see that they got back together as a couple. I have never seen a couple quite like Cory and Topanga. They always stay loyal to each other and they have so much in common and they just totally belong together. When they broke up in "Torn Between Two Lovers" I was devastated because I didn't think that they would ever get back together, but when I saw this episode I was happy again. Overall, this is probably my favorite episode of Boy Meets World.moreless

Topanga goes to an art exhibit with Angela and meets a boy there. He is cute and has a passion for art. He asks her out. Angela tells Shawn and Shawn tells Cory and also says that he's throwing in the towel. Cory still has faith in him and Topanga. While on her date, he kisses her. Topanga realizes that she's in love with Cory and they get back together!

This was a great episode! They are finally back together! I loved Cory's determination and faith in their relationship. That was really cool. I give this episode a 10 out of 10!moreless
