- The Writers – Brent Butt and Paul Mather
- Director – Mark Farell
- A brief synopsis – Brent and Hank find that their old tree house infested with a new crop of kids, who run them off. This starts a war to reclaim their lost fort. Davis tries to pin Wanda down with the authority vested in him, with surprising results. Lacy adds Kung-Fu to the list of activities she is bad at. Oscar encounter’s an old friend.
- The best line – Emma: The last thing Oscar fixed was breakfast and he broke the toaster…and we weren’t even having toast.
- 2nd best line – Wanda: Good work, Starsky. (see below)
- The best moment – Davis action rolling over the car in efforts to catch a dine n dasher.
- The best storyline – Wanda’s literal escapades with Davis.
- Notable guest appearance – Shirley Douglas as an old high school friend looking to rekindle something that had not been kindled in the first place.
- Em’s Favorite Character – Wanda, because she kept getting out of whatever Davis thought he had her in.
- El’s Favorite Character – Lacey, because she was learning Kung Fu.
- Grade – A
One episode where everyone has a good to great story line, especially Wanda. There is not a wasted moment here and several clever tracking shots, like when Wanda needs ice. Brent and Hank’s tree house debacle rings familiar and harmless. Only they could get into a war with kids and make it seem real. Emma and Oscar touch on an area neither are exposed to very often: romance. I love the way that Karen protests Lacey’s use of the words Kung Fu. Top notch effort, all around.
