Changes, part 3

"**Changes, part 3**" is the nineteenth episode in the second season of *Punky Brewster*.

## Summary

Henry undergoes emergency surgery following his collapse. Cherie, Margaux, and Allen visit Punky at Fenster Hall. Chillings relays to Mike that he is not convinced by the reports from Punky's last case worker about Henry, and he is still set on placing Punky with different foster parents. To that end, he disallows Punky from seeing Henry in the hospital, but Cherie, Margaux, and Allen have a plan to help Punky sneak out. Getting help from her roommates Liz (Laura Jacoby), Anna (Judith Barsi), Millie (Tannis Vallely), and Weezie (Akilah Denson), they disguise Punky as Margaux and Margaux as Punky, and to make the plan work, they ensure Chillings is without his glasses. Mike goes along with the plan and takes Punky to visit Henry. With Punky by Henry's side, as he is sleeping, she overhears Mike telling Betty about Chillings' desire to put her with new foster parents, something Henry does not need in his condition. Meanwhile, at Fenster Hall, prior to Punky's return, Chillings tries to give Margaux (thinking she is Punky) a personality test. Later, an awakened Henry reads a note from Punky, who blames herself for his condition and lets him know she will be better off with new foster parents. The note devastates Henry.

Since Punky and Allen have been advocating against urban sprawl and are interested in witnessing a more pleasant era prior to the development of cities, Glomer uses his magic to transport them to Chicago in the year 1803. A person by the name of Pierre LePelt, who has earned the admiration of the children, is leading a movement to prevent a much smaller Chicago from expanding. Punky has no idea that Pierre LePelt is a poacher and that the true motivation behind his campaign is to maintain the practise of hunting animals for their furs and pelts despite the declining animal population. When they return back to 1985, Allen writes his report for class, and gets an "A" for creative writing after the teacher believes he knew the material as if he was there.

Kramer (Thomas Callaway). Punky and Cherie get Margaux to go with them to Benjamin's office to protest the rent increase, and Benjamin finds them there when the building's smoke alarm goes off.

Henry's photography studio at the mall continued to see much success, so much that by the end of the third season he received an offer from the magnate of Glossy's, a photo studio franchise, for a $100,000 buyout of Warnimont's, which also included the offer of Henry becoming manager of the Glossy's location. Henry accepted, but soon found that his creativity and business style was not being appreciated by his new employers. He quit Glossy's, but then decided to give into Punky's and Cherie's dream to run their own teen hangout/burger establishment, and invested into another mall property which ended up being splashed with as much color and originality as Punky's bedroom. All involved, which even included Betty and Margaux, unanimously decided on christening it "Punky's Place."

## Summary

In the middle of taking out the garbage, Punky finds an empty sleeping pill bottle. Henry admits that he's been taking sleeping pills for the past six months because of his back sprain. Of course, a back sprain doesn't take six months to heal, so Henry has developed an addiction to the pills. Henry resolves to quit, but he's re-filling the prescription within the night and delivered the same night by a delivery man (Meshach Taylor). Punky and Betty attempt to help him sleep naturally in order to cure the habit, but more than 48 sleepless hours pass before Henry makes one last desperate effort to get sleeping pills. Punky has to physically hold Henry from the pills, and that snaps Henry out of it long enough to dump his supply of sleeping pills down the drain of the kitchen sink. Punky explains to Henry that she wants him to be around for a long time. Henry understands, and he ends up getting six hours of sleep.

## Notes from Steven:

I also want it to start earlier because it is a good lead in to my CURE [Course-based Undergraduate
Research Experience] project, which is the other change.  I am still
figuring out how to do this and it will involve ordering materials (mostly
media, petri dishes, filter paper discs, and bacterial cultures) early in the
term.  You will notice, I put CURE into several lab periods.  However, I am not yet able to specify what materials are needed for any of those days.  I will do so as soon as I can.  The preps will involve preparing media in plates and/or broths, providing sterilized filter paper
discs for absorbing potential antibiotic-containing materials (which the
students will harvest/provide), and growing some cultures.  The filter
paper discs might be ordered as filter paper sheets.  The discs can be cut
out using a standard hole punch and then autoclaved in petri dishes.

Please let me know if I can clarify anything.

Christmas Hero

"**Christmas Hero**" is the seventh episode of the third season of *Punky Brewster* and the 73rd of the overall season. It premiered on May 5, 1988.

## Synopsis

With Christmas around the corner, Punky desperately wants to give Henry a pocket watch.

When rich businessman Horatio Lake is robbed of a briefcase containing valuables, Punky comes to his aid and discovers that the thief had been none other than Horatio's own son, Jerry. She explains to Horatio that Jerry had only done what he did as a cry for attention, since he had intended to lay low for a few days, and after the police would give up their search, he would emerge as the hero to have found the briefcase, hoping that such an act would cause his father to pay more attention to him after years of being more or less ignored.

Horatio wonders how he could have let the situation grow so bad that Jerry needed to go to such extremes to get his attention. Fully aware of his own mistakes in the matter, Horatio vows to do better and never let it happen again.

As a reward for helping out, Horatio gives Punky a pocket watch, which she in turn gives to Henry for Christmas.

Love Thy Neighbor

"**Love Thy Neighbor**" is the tenth episode in the second season of *Punky Brewster*.

## Summary

On Halloween, Punky tries to play a practical joke on elderly neighbour Isabelle Peavy (Fran Ryan) as revenge for the way she treated Punky, Cherie, and Allen. Isabelle is a mean old lady, and Punky's friends think Isabelle is actually a witch. When Isabelle sees Punky trying to play the "flying foamie" trick on her, Isabelle takes Punky inside her apartment, and a terrified Punky runs back out, unintentionally leaving Brandon behind in Isabelle's apartment...and Isabelle may not want to give Brandon back.

Punky gets Mike to go to Isabelle's apartment to get Brandon, and Isabelle explains to Mike the reason why she's so mean...because of something that happened years ago. Isabelle absolutely loved dancing. 12 years ago, while Isabelle was on her way to the Starland Ballroom to do some dancing, a kid on a bicycle collided with her, and didn't even stop. Ever since then, because of the resulting hip injury, Isabelle hasn't been able to dance, and she has hated kids ever since that day. Now, Isabelle becomes angry at Mike's attempts to offer some help to her, and she shows Mike and Brandon out of her apartment. Mike tells Punky what Isabelle told him, and Punky now wants to be Isabelle's friend. Punky, Mike, and Brandon later go back to Isabelle's apartment, but she's not answering her door, which is unusual for her. Mike kicks the door in...and they see Isabelle laying on the floor, obviously in pain. Isabelle explains that she fell, and that her hip hurts. Isabelle is rushed to the hospital, where she undergoes hip replacement surgery, and after she recovers, she's able to dance again. Realizing that her life was saved by a child, Isabelle rediscovers herself, and apologizes for being so mean. Then she takes Henry out dancing.
