School of Arts, but she has one problem : having to say goodbye to her mom a thousand times before she leaves. In order to delay the parting, Beverly, along with Murray, helps move Erica into her dorm, and meets Erica 's roommate, a valley girl also named Erica ( Alison Rich ). Bev decorates Erica 's room and stays the night, leading to her daughter 's humiliation around campus. But Valley Erica helps Erica realize she is lucky to have a mom that is always there for her. Meanwhile, Barry is back to school for his senior year and missing Lainey, so he needs a distraction : bullying Adam. After watching Weird Science, Adam gets the idea to make Barry the perfect girlfriend, but Barry does n't think he can do it. With the help of science teacher Mr. Connelly ( Ilan Mitchell - Smith ) and girlfriend Jackie, Adam, Pops and Barry perform the Barbie doll experiment from the film. Even though he knew it was fake, Barry just wanted to prove to himself that Lainey was n't a fluke. He starts looking after Adam 's well - being at school, which some girls find attractive. 97 `` Hogan Is My Grandfather '' Lew Schneider Marc Firek October 4, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 04 ) 502 5.79 Adam 's hard - ass history teacher, `` Doc '' ( Kevin Heffernan ), agrees to let him make a movie about World War II instead of writing a term paper. Because Pops is a veteran, Adam decides to interview him, but he finds all of his grandfather 's war stories boring. Pops spices it up by telling fictional far - fetched tales that actually came from Hogan 's Heroes episodes. Doc discovers Pops ' stories are plagiarized from the show and gives Adam an ' F '. Adam throws a piece of chalk at him in disgust, earning him a trip to the principal 's office. Adam has to face the fact that Pops lied to him. Meanwhile, Erica realizes she ca n't take care of herself while away at college and asks her mom about her `` mothering '' techniques. But Beverly worries about teaching Erica and Barry basic life skills in fear that they 'll never need her anymore, so she tricks them into leaning on her. Later, they go behind Bev 's back and ask the single Coach Mellor for advice, and he trains them in life skills. 98 `` Goldberg on The Goldbergs '' David Katzenberg David Guarascio October 11, 2017 ( 2017 - 10 - 11 ) 503 5.66 After Barry breaks Adam 's glasses during gym class, Beverly complains to Coach Mellor about pitting big brother against little brother. Rick Mellor reveals a troubled childhood in which his big brother Nick always picked on him.

Elsewhere, Erica worries about the huge phone bill she 's racked up by calling Geoff Schwartz every night from her dorm room.

Erica has booked a musical performance that evening, so she calls Adam and invites him to D.C. for a visit. Adam brings Dave Kim, Chad Kremp and Sergei along, hoping for a Revenge of the Nerds college experience, but he soon learns that Erica was just using him to get the paper written. After Erica explains to Adam that college is nothing like the movie depictions, she and the guys work together to help her save her show and pass her class. Elsewhere, Beverly writes a resume and ponders the next chapter of her life -- a `` Bevolution '' -- which scares Murray because she wo n't be around to cook and clean as much. He suggests she just change her appearance rather than make a life change, so Bev gets a permanent hairdo. Although it looks horrible on her, Murray insists she looks great, but Bev soon catches on to his scheme. Meanwhile, Barry tries to get a home perm, but it does nothing to change the appearance of his already curly hair.

It turns out that Jackie does not like Star Wars, but is a big fan of Star Trek instead, and would like Adam to dress as Mr. Spock to her Lt. Uhura. With Adam worried about losing his girlfriend, Murray tries to teach him his technique of quietly acquiescing whenever Beverly wants to be in charge. Adam tries but Jackie sees right through it, and suggests that she and Adam should not be girlfriend and boyfriend. Adam later returns to apologize and profess his love for Jackie, no matter what her sci - fi preference is. Meanwhile, the JTP are playing with an Ouija board, which Barry uses to see if he and Lainey are destined to be together forever. Lainey is visiting Erica, and surprises Barry by showing up at the Goldberg 's door on Halloween night. It turns out she has missed him greatly. The two vow that they will make the long - distance thing work, but later come to a realization that they are probably fooling themselves. Erica and Geoff have a similar discussion, insisting that they can make it work because they 're only three hours apart and not twelve like Lainey and Barry. 101 6 `` Girl Talk '' Jay Chandrasekhar Steve Basilone November 1, 2017 ( 2017 - 11 - 01 ) 504 4.99 Trying to move on from Lainey, Barry sets his sights on Jamie Weisman ( Lily Donoghue ), but gets shot down.

Acting on mom 's advice to just converse and be himself, Barry lands a study date with Jamie. Mr. Glascott warns Bev that Jamie is a `` bleacher person '' causing Bev to try and break up the couple, but she later learns that Jamie is a straight - A student and helps Barry look cool in front of Jaime. Elsewhere, Murray 's Ottoman Empire is facing tough competition from the Formica King ( Richard Kind ), who is known for his outrageous local commercials. Murray asks Adam to make him a straightforward sales pitch commercial, but Marvin jumps in and adds ridiculous elements without telling Murray.
