Girl Meets Gravity

This episode was extremely dramatic, and a very sad way to start the season. This is was such an unexpected, and emotional episode. I feel like this was a perfect start to the season. So let's get started!

                                                          *****Spoiler's Ahead***********

Riley and Maya: They believe that they are ready for independence(foreshadow to "Girl Meets Texas"). They say that they are ready to explore the world on their own. They don't need Corey's lessons anymore, so they decide to transfer out of his class.

Parallel Class: Maya and Riley successfully transfer out of Corey's class, and they enter a new class only to find that they aren't the main characters. They see two girls that are similar to them, this class has its' own Farkle and Lucas too. The camera doesn't even want to focus on them in this class, the teacher refers to them as extras who don't get to have a moment. This was a hilarious parallel to the students in Riley's class that they've never even noticed before. It was nice to see them come crawling back to Corey's class, when they find out that things aren't as pretty on the other side.

Independence:In this episode, Riley and Maya want one thing: independence. They want to be free of their parents control. They feel like their parents are smothering them. Riley's Dad becomes her teacher again, and Topanga takes control of Maya and Riley's favorite hangout spot. Not only that, Maya's mom helps out at the hang out spot.

Riley and Lucas: These love birds have nothing but awkward conversations, for most of this episode. I think that Riley feels abandoned a little, since Lucas and Riley cannot have a real conversations. The first time they actually talk, they are in disagreement about the idea of Riley's Dad as a teacher. It shows the first strain in their relationship.

Svorski's: Auggie volunteers to help Mrs. Svorski in her shop. Mrs. Svorski always tells  Auggie a joke that e doesn't understand but he loves. For some reason he doesn't find it funny. Mrs. Svorski tells Topanga that she wants to get rid of her shop. She wants to give it to Topanga for helping her keep the shop in the first place. She was the key part of this episode, and she created problems for Riley and Maya. She gave away the shop to Topanga, who hires Maya's mom. This is an issue for girls, but it is also what humbles them.

The Speech: This episode begins with Riley explaining that she thought she and her friends were the center of the universe.  Later she explains how individuals feel that they are the center of the universe. She talk about the sun and how it rises and falls, then how we trust the sun to always come back again(foreshadow to ending of the episode). She ends the speech by explaining that she wasn't really close to Mrs. Svorski. She didn't feel her gravitational pull, but her death has inspired her to embrace the pull her parents have on her because it wont last forever.

The most Emotional Moment in the entire episode was Auggie. In the end, Auggie left the shop and gave one last look at Mrs. Svorski. The look in his eyes, and Topanga lightly dragging him away, it almost looks as though Auggie knows that he will never see Mrs. Svorski again. Then we find out that she is gone. When Auggie opens the flower shaker there is a note that reads: It's not my-krainian bakery, I'm dead!". Then they incorporated a moment for the fans of the show "Boy Meets World"(Thank you!), Corey becomes emotional about the death of Mrs. Svorski, and Riley's speech touches him. His response is to call his former teacher, to check up on him. We finally saw Mr. Feeney in Girl Meets World, and his cameo was perfect. A beautiful tear-jerker for the fans! Dang it Disney!
