Finally, Shawn sticks to one girl.

This episode was heart warming, because I love to see another side of Shaw, and finally for the first time in the season, the episode wasn't centered around Cory, it was centered around Sean which is great news, since it wasn't silly, it was serious. I can't think of a lesson learned though. The subplot was just as good, Eric trying to be an intern & just when you think he doesn't have a chance, he gets it, he really wants to get in to college, which I'm sure everyone likes to see, the memorable moments of this episode was in which Topanga tells "the truth" to Shawn, also another memorable moment is when Cory was acting silly throughout the whole episode about his mitten, a great funny but serious episode.moreless

I never really cared for episodes fully about Shawn and some girl.

5.5

Same old same old we see in this episode, Shawn likes a girl, for some reason things don't work out well, but in the end he gets her back, and we never see her again, well, this is a tad different, as we see Dana one more time in Weather Guy. But this is in my opinion, one of the worst episodes of Boy Meets World, infact, any episode about Shawn and a girl aren't worth watching, becasue their all the same, as Shawn wouldn't get a steady girlfriend until season 5. But, in conclusion, if you missed this episode, your not missing much more than you see plenty other times in the series.moreless

Shawn goes on a date with a “nice girl” named Dana. Because of Shawn’s reputation, she doesn’t want to go out with him a second time. Instead, she wants to go out with Cory. Eric gets interviewed hoping to be the new intern for the news. Shawn says that he really likes this girl. Topanga says that he isn’t boyfriend material because he doesn’t really listen to what girls say; he just likes kissing them. Shawn wants to prove that he is listening so he remembers that Dana likes picnics. He sets one up and she gives him a chance.

I liked Dana and Shawn! I do think that Shawn’s reputation is not a very good one. He just goes from girl to girl. I thought Cory was really funny with his winter attire! I give this episode a 10!moreless

- Topanga (to Shawn): You don't understand women. You don't know what we are, you don't know how we feel, and you don't know what we think. You see us as dating objects, and the faster we are, the more you want us. And until you can grow up and see beyond that, no matter how many girls you go out with, you will always be lonely.
