b"Hey Everyone,\\n\\nAngela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast.\\n\\nToday, I'm covering S2E2: Money, Money, Money, which aired on September 20, 1986.\\n\\nIn this episode Jamie tries to buy the love of a pretty classmate.\\n\\nJessica is back, UGH!!\\n\\nJamie still having not learned his lesson from the last time she scorched his ass after he invited her to a party, actually now that I think back on it he rejected her and went with his tomboy baseball friend.\\n\\nFor whatever reason Jamie is crawling back to her and she's still not interested in his ass. \\n\\nDamn Jamie, wake up!\\n\\nWe get to see a reappearance of Walter, remember him?\\n\\nHe was crushing on Vicki early on in Season 1.\\n\\nThis poor kid is even more desperate than Jamie to be liked, it breaks my heart. Jamie tricks him into giving him tips on love and dating by taking his money to go out with Jessica and Walter can take notes.\\n\\nThe tables turn on Jamie but tip in Walter's favor. lucky him. Or not so lucky, I mean it's Jessica. This girl is headed down a dark road and an even darker future if she keeps going after guys who are loaded with the green paper.\\n\\nWhat's worse is this character is not done with the show, we will have to suffer with her presence for a few more episodes in Season 3 and 4. Thankfully that's years away.\\n\\nAside from Jamie's love and money woes, Ted and Joan are also worried about money, seeing how much it will cost to send Jamie to college.\\n\\nMaybe they'll get lucky and he won't want to go. At least they don't have to send Vicki to college.\\n\\nThis was a good episode and funny.\\n\\nOh yeah, Harriet actually walks multiple blocks to Jamie's middle school to see him, since she's still in elementary school. I guess the school didn't care that they had a child who just wandered off. But then again Harriet's parents don't even seem to want her around. Which is sad, but understandable.\\n\\nJoin me next month when I cover S2E3: My Mother the Teacher, which aired on September 27, 1986.\\n\\nIn this episode Joan becomes the substitute teacher in Jamie's class.\\n\\nHave a great weekend everyone!"
