Richie struggles with his emotions as everyone - particularly his mother, Marion - rejects his dream of being a Hollywood screenwriter.

Chachi trains to fight in the city boxing tournament to prove to Fonzie that he's not a kid anymore.

It seems like a bad fit when Yale-educated Roger Phillips is hired over street-savvy Fonzie as the new principal of the George S. Patton Vocational High School, known for it's rampant juvenile delinquency.

Fonzie gets a surprise visit from a half-brother he never knew he had; but, although the two share the same name, they soon find that they don't have much in common...or do they?

His friends are baffled when Fonzie refuses to speak in his own defense after he is accused of manhandling a student and brought before the school board's disciplinary court.

Howard's fear that wife Marion's former college boyfriend will sweep her off her feet when he comes to the Cunninghams for dinner turns to shock when the man instead shows interest in...daughter Joanie!

Fonzie tries to help his cousin unleash his inborn "Fonzarelli Power" when Chachi decides to start dating again after his break-up with long-time steady, Joanie Cunningham.

Fonzie begins restoring a wrecked 1955 Chevrolet convertible, unaware it comes with more than just broken seats, a broken engine and a rusted shell. It comes with a beautiful young woman, to whom there's more than meets the eye.

A real estate agent barging into his apartment with a client in tow is a surprised Fonzie's first clue that he may soon be hunting for a new home.

Joanie says "yes" when Chachi pops the question and Fonzie finds that being single is a major snag when he decides to adopt Danny, his little brother from the Big Brother program.
