Girl Meets Mr. Squirrels

Now I have to admit, I thought this episode was going to be terrible based on the title. It just sounds awful, and reminds me of the episode where Riley has to take care of the fish(Girl Meets Fish). I was so wrong! This episode had me smiling from ear to ear! I also laughed out loud at some parts. I cannot wait to share my thoughts.

"Lose one friend, lose all friends, lose yourself" ~Eric Mathews

The fight: Riley and Maya have a huge fight. Maya is angry because Riley didn't defend her when Lucas called her a "short stack of pancakes". This was a punch to Maya's gut because her identity, and her integrity was shattered. She felt like her whole demeanor was broken. She didn't look tough, all she looked like was a short weak little girl.

Zay: He is such an instigator. From the beginning he has been gossiping about Lucas, and now he is encouraging the fight between Riley and Maya.

Big Brother: We are given a warm welcome to Eric Mathews. Man, are we glad to see him again. He was absolutely hilarious throughout the entire episode. He lived up to that huge applause given to him at the beginning. Corey brought him here to help dissolve the war between Maya and Riley. Though most of the episode he just danced around, and made insane jokes, in the end he knew exactly what to do. It was nice to see the warm moment between Corey and Eric, Eric was so excited that his brother believed in him.

Insecurities: In the end the entire group revealed their insecurities. Riley discovered that everyone thinks she is a giant klutz. Maya came to terms with the fact that she is  short, but so is Topanga, regardless both girls are strong. Farkle is insecure about the reasoning for his need for power. He feels like a mouse, and so power would fill the void. This insecurity comes from Lucas! Perfect! I feel like this is something that needed to happen. In "Girl Meets Flaws" we see Farkle excited that someone cool like Lucas actually called Farkle his best friend. Now, we see the insecurities stemming from have a friend that seemingly looks better than you. I am so happy that this was incorporated into the episode.

Foreshadow: There was an interesting foreshadow that was previously mentioned in "Girl Meets The New World". Topanga was talking about how when she was younger, she had a huge insecurity of about her name. Then she realized that her name was unique! Here Eric uses that against her by stating "You have a stupid name", this was clearly used as a comedic tactic, but interesting nonetheless.
There was another area of foreshadow that appeared. Since the episode "Girl Meets The Secret of Life", Zay had been under the protection of Lucas Frair. When Maya attacks, Zay Lucas stands up for him. This frustrates Maya even more because thats what she wishes Riley would have done for her.

My Thoughts: This episode was the funniest episode so far! Thank goodness because I was tired of buying tissue boxes before every episode! I really enjoyed having Eric back in the picture, a really nice touch for fans of "Boy Meets World". Also I cannot get over the amazing moment where everyone shares their insecurities. The only problem I had was that Zay could have had a huge insecurity. I mean they set it up perfectly in his introductory episode. He could have had this problem with never being heard, or valued. That's why he runs his mouth so much because he wants to be a part of the action. He loves knowing that Lucas has his back, and that he can be a part of the action too. But no! The writer just decided to give him the insecurity of a flat butt!

Next Episode is "Girl Meets the Tell-Tale-Tot"

Tune in November 6, 2015 for a brand new episode called "Girl Meets the Forgiveness Project"
