Season 1 - Episode 12
CBS (US)
Oh, so Caroline had a stash of really expensive jewelry all along? That was just being saved for a rainy day? I know it says Fred Savage wrote this, but was Cummings anywhere near the plotting? Well, actually on reflection she can't have been, because shaky plot point aside, this was a really good episode of a show that has been a really pleasant addition to the sitcom stable this season.
The girls need a new oven, so Caroline decides to sell one of the expensive rings she managed to swipe when they visited her old apartment a few episodes back. After being scared out of a cash for gold store, they decide to go to an upscale jewelry store and attempt to return the ring. This is foiled by a camp salesman who Caroline had previously gotten fired from another job. This rather ridiculously leads to a pop up sale in the toilets, wich falls apart when Caroline is whisked off to lunch by her old friends, leaving Max devastated. Having thought that their friendship had finally been cemented, and having finally let someone into her life, she's absolutely crushed.
Caroline of course makes everything up, by selling all of the rings to buy the oven of Max's dreams. It's a lovely moment when the two hug, and the second half of the season is set up nicely.
