Second Chance

**Second Chance** is episode 20 of Season 4 of Growing Pains.

## Summary

Carol's college-aged boyfriend, Sandy - the butt of Mike and Ben's recent ridicule - takes her on a night on the town. This is despite Jason and Maggie saying no. During their date, Sandy and Carol stop at a bar.

Ben begins pestering Carol with the family's video camera, recording Carol's nervousness at Sandy being an apparent no-show for their date. But the fun and teasing quickly ends when Carol gets a phone call informing her that Sandy is in the hospital. He was involved in a car accident on his way home from his date with Carol. Carol goes to the hospital to visit Sandy, who appears to be just a little bruised; there, he lets on that drunk driving charges are pending against him, but he feels lucky that he has gotten a second chance. Carol tells her parents, who are upset. Jason wants to teach Carol a lesson, but Maggie is just glad Carol is alright, and they decide Carol has learned her lesson.

Unfortunately, the lesson about the dangers of drunk driving, is about to be hammered in a little harder, in a way no one was expecting. When Carol and her parents get home, Mike is waiting with some terrible news. He had just gotten a phone call informing him that Sandy had just died (of internal bleeding). Carol is furious at first, thinking that Mike is playing a cruel practical joke, but as he presses on with the details, it becomes clear that it isn't a joke, and Sandy really has died. Carol breaks down in grief questioning how it could've happened so unexpectedly, and what happened to Sandy's second chance, and her family consoles her.

The episode ends with a statement claiming that 29 (then 30) people were killed/injured in alcohol-related automobile accidents, in the U.S. during the airing of the episode.

Pilot

**Pilot** is the first episode in the first season of the ABC sitcom ***Growing Pains***. It aired on the twenty-fourth of September in 1985.

## Summary

The upwardly mobile, suburban Seaver family experiences some growing pains when Maggie Seaver returns to work as a newspaper reporter, Jason Seaver moves his psychiatric practice into the home, and 15-year-old son Mike asks for more freedom and gets it.

Mike convinces Jason to let him go to an under- 20 dance club called "The House of Sweat" with his older friend Jerry 'dog killer' Dellish, who has a car. Mike is put in jail for underage driving in the parking lot of "The House of Sweat” and for causing $350 in damages after sideswiping a police car.

* Tracey Gold as Carol Seaver
* Jeremy Miller as Ben Seaver

- Alan Blumenfeld as Walter

- Jack Andreozzi as Police Officer

- C.E. Grimes as Biker

## Mistakes

* Mike's hair length changes across scenes. His hair is noticeably longer and more curly in some scenes (those with Tracey Gold) than in others. This occurs because they re-shot the scenes with Tracey Gold to replace the scenes with Elizabeth Ward, who played Carol in the unaired pilot.
* Jason tells Mike about taking him to the Mets home opener when Mike was three weeks old. That means Mike was born in March 1970. Jason says that Donn Clendenon won the game in the 12th inning. Clendenon did play for the Mets during that time, but the home opener did not end as Jason described.

## Trivia

* In the opening scene, while Maggie is cooking at the stove, she’s humming the theme song from “Who’s the Boss”.
* Carol mentions that “The House of Sweat” is on Jericho Turnpike, a real highway that runs the length of Long Island.
* Ben is watching TV at breakfast, and he comments on Phyllis George’s performance. She had a short stint on the CBS Morning Show in 1985.
* Elizabeth Ward can be seen 'loitering' in the background at the police station.

## Funny Moments

* Ben comes back into the kitchen upset about how Jason bandaged his elbow. Jason must have done it like a doctor would because Ben says: “It was all so clinical.”
* Nice callback of the joke about Jason not being ready for total responsibility (let alone Mike not being ready).
* In the closing tag, the kids sing to their parents “Moon River”, based apparently on Jason’s amorous actions the night before (or on the stories Jason had told Mike).
