Growing Pains

Carol moves out of her unfriendly dorm, Mike has a tough first day teaching at the health clinic and Chrissy gets into trouble on her first day of school when she follows Ben's advice.

Mike tries to help one of his students, Luke (Leonardo DiCaprio), who has been living in the school basement.

Luke stays at the Seavers' until he gets a new host family. Worried that they won't like him, Luke lies about his past, and things seem to be going well until Jason and Maggie realize their wine bottles are missing.

Maggie and Jason are in direct competition to write a column for the "Long Island Sentinel."

Luke decides to leave, making Mike jeopardize his soap opera role.

Jason acts odd at a psychiatric banquet, confusing the boys.

Chrissy gets lice, leaving Jason, Ben, Mike and Luke to clean house while Maggie and Carol are away.

Chrissy believes that adults start partying every night after she goes to bed, so Jason lets her stay up one night, as long as she wants, so she can see that doesn't happen. Unfortunately for his ploy, this is the night the neighbors are giving a fancy-dress ball.

Ben damages the vacuum cleaner Maggie's supposed to test for her column. She doesn't know what he did, so when it runs poorly, she prepares to blast the company for misleading advertising. Meanwhile, Luke lies about his life to a girl he wants to impress.

The Seavers go to Maggie's mom's house to get the place ready to be sold. Kate is moving to Florida and hasn't seen the house, which is full of memories and her husband's presence since Ed died.

When Luke's dad reappears wanting his son back, Ben pretends to be Luke so Mike can check the man out.

Ben wants to take a college entrance exam, and gets mad when he hears his dad make a disparaging remark about his intelligence. Carol's feelings for Dwight take a blow when she meets the young girl living at his place.

Jealous Mike follows Kate to a Jamaican shoot.

Kate wants to go skiing but Mike doesn't have the money. Looking for a bargain, Mike convinces Ben to recruit his chess club to fill up twenty rooms at the hotel.

Luke runs into an old friend, Barney, the only honest three-card monte player. But when the Seavers invite him to Luke's birthday party, Luke realizes Barney is only pretending to be honest.

The Seavers ground Luke when he keeps breaking his curfew at night, but Mike lets him out to go to a big party - on the condition he return early.

Cheryl has a crush on Ben, who's only interested in Sasha. Sasha refuses Ben, who is furious to find that Cheryl has transferred her affection to Luke.

Ben takes karate lessons to deal with a school bully.

Eddie drops by to visit Mike, and he hasn't changed a bit - which is not necessarily for the best.

Luke's dad's back acts up, so Mike and Jason take over his tour.

Maggie tries to beat her fears by facing them - and ends up hanging off the side of a mountain.

A blackout traps Carol, Dwight, Kate and Mike in Dwight's loft amidst the ruins of their banquet.

Maggie is offered a great new job in Washington, which would mean moving. Jason and Carol are enthusiastic, but Ben is against it, and Mike thinks it's all a big joke. (Part 1 of 2).

Mike proposes to Kate for all the wrong reasons, but she turns him down. Maggie wants to refuse the Washington job since Ben is against moving, but Mike talks to his little brother and they strike a deal. (Part 2 of 2).
