Episode Summary

Changes are on the horizon for the Tanner clan as this 2-part series finale begins. High school senior D.J. is planning to forego prom night, which sends Kimmy on a chase to find her best friend a date. Former business partners Jesse and Joey have the opportunity to appear on live television with professional wrestlers, but this is hardly the type of material they are used to working with. Stephanie is rehearsing a portion of Romeo and Juliet with a handsome classmate, but she doesn't understand why he always freezes up during the kissing scene. Lastly, Michelle is excited when Danny gives her permission to participate in a horseback riding competition, but the pressure to win results in a terrifying accident.moreless

    I Don't think this should've been the series finale and of course this episode revolves all around Michelle.I don't think the way she fell off her horse would've knocked her unconcsious.It looked like it would hurt but not knocked out cold she did't even hit her head on the ground.

  • For an 80's sitcom? Great cliffhangar.

    I never thought I would ever say this about an '80s sitcom, but I actually got a goosebumps when I saw Michelle fall off of that horse- oohhh, better not spoil it... but what kind of a person reads the review before they watch the actual episode? That is just wrong. I like the B story of Steph and that boy... whats-his-face. Lets just call him "Romeo".
    It would not have killed the writers to make Danny say" Michelle Tanner's gonna kick your ass" as opposed to "Michelle Tanners gonna kick your butts"... That's probably said in all private schools, and in public school, they say ass. Let's get off that topic.
    And then there was a huge mistake taht wouldn't get into the guide: The fact that Michelle only started riding lessons in this episode. So either it's she's been doing ridig lessons and we haven't been informed, or she's only done one riding lesson, which would explain why she fell off the horse on her first non-track experiance.

    That's all for my complaining today-see yas!moreless

    This was enjoyable until the end of this first part.It was when Michelle took horseback riding lesson,and one day at the stable,she met a girl named Elizabeth.She told Michelle about this jumping contest,and Michelle asked dad if she could do it.Danny was about to say no,but then Elizabeth's mom walked up,and said that it was a good idea not to let her sign up,it's bad for a kid to lose.And then Danny wanted to beat Elizabeth.Meanwhile,Stephanie is Juliet in Romeo and Juliet,and her Romeo kept skipping the kissing part.Michelle said it was because she had dried lips,then Becky said that she might wanna breathe through her nose.Also,DJ is looking for a senior prom date,so Kimmy helps her.In the jumping contest,Stephanie,DJ,and Elizabeth's mom notices that Michelle and Elizabeth are not in the race.Joey,Danny,and Jesse look for Michelle,so they borrow horses,and look for her.Elizabeth jumped over a log,then when Michelle tried,the horse leaned back,and Michelle fell.That was the saddest part.moreless

  • In this episode, Michelle falls off of her horse at a jumping competition and the impact causes her to go to the hospital. This fall rocked her brain and gave her temporary amnesia. But, much to her family's happiness, she later regains her memory.moreless

    An overall okay episode but not the greatest for a season finale.You'd think that the final episode of Full House would be about the whole entire family; but it wasn't. As usual the whole episode was all about Michelle, as it usually is. In fact, the whole series seems to revolve around her and about none of the other stars. It was fine at first, but after awhile it got really annoying.Also, how could Michelle get amnesia if she nver really hit her head? I mean she hit her side for cryin' out loud! All in all, even though this episode was okay, it wasn't what anyone expected and failed to deliver all of the goods in a normal Full House episode.moreless

    • Elizabeth's Mother: (to her daughter) Aww, there's my little champion! Now, listen, don't forget, after you win, we're going out for a big victory dinner. Danny: Michelle, after you win, we're going out for a big victory dinner......and a victory movie! Elizabeth's Mother: Now, Elizabeth, remember what I said to you about visualizing. Picture yourself jumping and clearing the hurdles. Danny: Michelle, you picture yourself jumping and clearing those exact same hurdles, only jumping higher and faster! Elizabeth's Mother: How dare you steal our visualizations! I paid good money for those! Michelle: Um, Dad, we really need to get ready for the contest. Elizabeth's Mother: (to Elizabeth) I'll see you in the winner's circle. Danny: Winner's circle. I guess you'll be there to congratulate us! (the adults leave) Michelle: (to Elizabeth) Riding used to be fun. Elizabeth: Yeah, before parents got involved. Edit
    • Michelle: Dad, there's a jumping contest next week, and I really want to be in it. So does Peppermill. He practically begged me! Danny: I don't know, Michelle. You just started riding. In order to be in one of those contests, you'd need a whole formal riding outfit. It costs a lot of money. Michelle: I don't mind. Edit
    • Woman: (waves a dollar bill in Danny's face) After you finish with that horse, could you comb my little girl's? Danny: Oh, I don't work here. Woman: Oh, I'm sorry. You just seemed to have the air of stable help. Danny: Well, in that case, I'll take the dollar. Thank you. Edit
