This episode leaves me with something of mixed feelings each time I see it. I can't tell sometimes if the message is "Being a dad is tough," which I can believe in and get behind, or if the message is that "All men leave," which is a rotten crummy stereotype.
This episode does seem to be an important life-turning moment for Eric though, and I enjoy watching the growth in his character after this encounter. From here he seems to still be the hilarious Matthews we've enjoyed over four seasons, but he also suddenly seems to realize that he can do so much more.
Despite mixed feelings about the episode I enjoy what it does for his character...moreless

Alan: What a minute. Let me get this straight. You're out with your girlfriend, you legitimately run out of gas, you pushed the car back seven blocks just to yell at me? Cory: No, I just wanted to explain why we were home so late, and to say "thank you". Topanga: Cory! Cory: And thank you too!

(car horn honks) Eric: Oh, there's Kelly. Better get going. Amy: Woah, wait a minute. You guys have been going out for a while and we still haven't met her. You should invite her to come in. Eric: Uh, you know, Mom, we're really in a hurry. Amy (calling out the door): Kelly, Hon, come on in. Eric: You know something? We're really in a rush. Alan: What's the matter? Afraid I'll say something to embarrass you? Kelly: Hi, I'm Kelly. Alan (looking Kelly over): Atta boy!
