Opening Teaser[]
Joey, Nicky and Alex are blowing bubbles in the living room. Michelle walks in and tells him she finds blowing bubbles "baby-ish". He decides to change her attitude by putting the bottles and wands down, and using a bubble gun instead. It works, and she pops the bubbles, eventually joining in.
Summary[]
Teddy tells Michelle that he will be moving to Amarillo, Texas as his father got a new job there. Michelle, who is afraid that she might possibly lose her best friend forever, tries anything and everything to stop Teddy from moving – even tying him to a chair in the bedroom (shown in the picture in this section). Joey helps Michelle realize that as hard as it is and even may be, she must say goodbye to Teddy. He even tells Michelle about his own experiences about being away from loved ones and all his old friends, from all his constant moves across the country to his dad, Colonel Gladstone, being away in the military. He adds that both can still be friends and make new ones and can occasionally write letters to each other and call each other sometimes.
Meanwhile, Danny and Vicky re-examine their long-distance relationship, and Michelle gives Nicky and Alex a doll, much to the dismay of Jesse, who does not think that his sons should play with dolls.
Quotes[]
Michelle: Hey, Teddy, wanna dot my I's? Teddy: Ooh, that's my favorite thing. Michelle: Wait a minute. First the secret, then the dots. Teddy: Please. Don't do this to me. Michelle: Then spill your guts. Teddy: Okay. The secret is I'm going to Amarillo. Michelle: What the heck is that? Teddy: It's a place in Texas. Michelle: That's it? You're going on vacation? Not your best secret. Teddy: It's not a vacation. I'm moving there.
[Michelle has Teddy tied up to keep from losing him forever.] Teddy: [repeatedly] Let me out! Let me out! Michelle: [repeatedly, while covering her ears] I can't hear you! I can't hear you! Joey: [entering the room] Hey, hey, hey! What's going on here? [He's not happy about Michelle's actions.] Michelle, tying up Teddy's not going to stop him from leaving. Look, you guys... [unties Teddy] There you go. [turns back to Michelle] I'm really sorry. I know how much this hurts, okay? When I was your age, my dad was in the Army. We moved all the time. I said goodbye to a lot of best friends. And it always made me feel very sad. But then you know what happened? I always made a new best friend. Michelle: But I don't want a new best friend. I want Teddy. Joey: Well, that's okay. You can keep your old friends and make new best friends. Because, um, well, friends are, uh... They're... They're like, um, Jell-O. Well, there's always room for more. And you know what else? Now that you guys are learning how to print, you can write each other letters. Michelle: And I'll leave all my I's for you to dot.
