[edit] It Was a Dark and Stormy Night

(September 14, 1993)

The twins, Alex and Nicky, are in their parents' bed. Jesse and Rebecca insist that they go to their own beds. The twins refuse, saying they prefer the “big bed”.

At Camp Lakota, a summer camp, Michelle is saying goodbye to her friends. She thanks Danielle for teaching her to “power spit”, and she tells Denise that she will miss her. Denise reminds Michelle that she lives down the block from her. Stephanie enters and asks Michelle if she’s said bye to all her friends. Michelle says indicates that she has not said goodbye to Gilbert, a bunny. DJ and Kimmy enter and ask that the children go to sleep, so the counselors can party. Denise asks Steve to tell a scary story, so he does.

The story begins, “It was a dark and stormy night”. An old man named “Cropsy” lived in a cabin until a bulldozer, for no apparent reason, came barreling down on him while he was inside the cabin. Steve says they built the camp right over the location of Cropsy’s cabin, and that, when it rains, a half man, half mud Cropsy maniac comes to attack the campers.

Meanwhile, back at home, Nicky and Alex still refuse to sleep in their own beds. They are in bed with Jesse and Rebecca.

The girls return home from camp. They are greeted with hugs. Michelle brings gifts that she made for Nicky and Alex. She presents a lion to Nicky because it is his favorite. She also gives a lion to Alex because its all she learned how to make. Stephanie wants “Chipped beef and bug juice” like “Greasy Abe” made at camp. Michelle asks Jesse not to call her “Munchkin” anymore as a nickname, as she prefers her camp nickname of “Trail Mix”. Jesse is very hurt.Stephanie then wants to call David, Billy, Sean, and Greg. Danny is worried that those sound suspiciously like boys’ names. As the three go upstairs, they sing that they love Camp Lakota.

Upstairs, DJ asks Stephanie about her sandals. Stephanie says they are at the bottom of the lake, and the two begin to argue. Michelle asks them to stop because they are scaring Gilbert. DJ and Stephanie are surprised to see the bunny, and told Michelle that she was supposed to let it go before they left camp. Michelle argues that Gilbert did not wish to go free. Danny enters and notices the bunny. Stephanie explains that they found it with a broken leg and nursed it to health. Danny explains to Michelle that Gilbert belongs with his friends, but Michelle insists that she is his friend. Steve enters and offers to return the bunny to camp. All three girls decide to go with him. After they leave, Danny is sad and says quietly to himself, “Welcome home, girls”.

Back at Camp Lakota, DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle enter their old cabin, and comment that it looks different. Michelle then realizes that Gilbert is missing, and is sorry that she did not get to say goodbye to the bunny. Michelle then becomes afraid of the Cropsy maniac because it is wet outside.

At the house, in the twins’ room, Jesse and Nicky share a bed and Rebecca and Alex share the other one. Both beds are shaped like racecars. The kids describe their beds as “yucky”, but Jesse calls them “expensive”. Soon Jesse and Rebecca fall asleep in the kids’ beds. Nicky and Alex kiss them goodnight and retire to their parents’ bed.

At the cabin, Michelle expresses concern that DJ and Steve, who are outside, will run into Cropsy. DJ and Steve enter, and the lights go out. Stephanie tries to hide her fear. They hear a noise, but Steve dismisses it as “just the wind”. Stephanie argues that “It’s never just the wind!” Then a man covered in mud enters the cabin, and Steve tackles him. Another man enters who is quickly revealed to be Danny. The muddy man turns out to be Joey, who fell in the mud. At this point the rain begins to stop and the lights come back on. Danny, realizing that the girls are disappointed, explains that the camp is like a cinema when the movie is over.

They return home, and make s’mores. Trying to make the girls feel better about being home, Danny comments, “Greasy Abe never made s’mores like these.” Joey enters and sits on the s’mores, which are on the couch. They stick to the seat of his pants. Jesse then sprays Joey’s backside with whipped cream, and Rebecca puts a cherry on the whipped cream. Danny begins to wipe the mess from Joey’s pants but stops, feeling awkward, and tells Joey that he better do it.

The girls say they are happy to be home and apologize for hurting their dad’s feelings by speaking so highly of camp after their initial return. Jesse says something to Michelle, referring to her as “Trail Mix”, but Michelle asks him to call her “Munchkin” again. Comet then starts to eat the s’mores off Joey, so Joey runs upstairs saying, “I’m not having a good day.”

[edit] The Apartment

(September 21, 1993)

Episode Synopsis: Danny is in the kitchen when D.J. and Kimmy enter with shopping bags. They explain that they were shopping for their friend, Kathy’s, baby shower. Danny is surprised because Kathy is still in high school.

This is the last time that you hear the extended theme, with some parts cut off.

D.J. and Kimmy inform Danny of their plans to go to Steve’s apartment. Danny expresses his reluctance to let D.J. go, but D.J. promises to be home at 11, and Danny agrees.

In the living room, Joey is wearing headphones, and muttering something about being “at peace”. Jesse, mocking him, lifts one earphone and says in Joey’s ear “I am a tranquil idiot”. Joey begins to repeat it but realizes that it’s Jesse and explains that he was trying to escape the pressures of life. Rebecca wonders if that is not why he watches Beavis and Butthead.

Michelle enters, complaining that she does not have a hobby. Jesse says that cementing the driveway is his hobby, so Michelle wants to do the same. Rebecca thought that Jesse was supposed to be looking for bidders, but Jesse explains that he was the lowest bidder. Jesse and Joey leave to rent a cement truck.

At Steve’s apartment, Steve is showing off his independence by standing on the coffee table, eating ice cream for dinner, and listening to loud music except when his neighbors complain. D.J. tells Steve that Kimmy could not make it, and, realizing they are alone, they begin to make out. D.J. stops, saying “it doesn’t feel right”. Steve is annoyed because they are rarely alone; he comments about the number of people living in her house. They decide to watch a movie. Steve has Terminator and Indecent Proposal. The both immediately choose Terminator.

Meanwhile, back at the house, Jesse lists their costs aloud while Joey adds them up on his wristwatch calculator. When Jesse asks for the total, Joey can only tell him that it took 9 seconds for him to list the items. Danny enters; he is worried because D.J. is late coming back from Steve’s. Joey suggests that he call Kimmy.

Kimmy is asleep when Danny calls. When Danny asks why she’s not at Steve’s apartment, she explains that her parents would never let her go to a boy’s apartment. Danny, annoyed, asks for Steve’s number. After shifting through a drawer, Kimmy eventually finds it but reminds Danny that’s it is worthless because Steve’s phone is not hooked up yet.

Danny goes to the apartment and looks through a window above the door to see D.J. and Steve asleep together on the couch. He is horrified, screams, and falls. The sound wakes D.J. who sees that its 1:00 AM. (Oddly, the movie is still playing, which indicates, since Terminator is less than two hours long, they started the movie after D.J.’s curfew, 11 PM.) D.J. opens the door to meet her father, who is outraged. His reaction, given the innocent explanation, seems to D.J. to be too harsh.

In the backyard, Jesse and Joey are finishing up the concrete. Their scraping sounds begin to mimic the theme song from The Addams Family, and, noticing this, they both begin singing it. Steve enters, wishing to see D.J. Jesse suggests to Joey that they take back the cement truck rental. Joey, realizing the truck must cross the newly poured cement to get out of the yard, asks how long it will take to dry. Jesse says 72 hours, and wonders how much it will cost. Joey begins to punch it into his wristwatch calculator until Jesse, frustrated, throws it into the cement mixer.

Upstairs, Michelle offers to show Stephanie her new hobby, collecting leaves. Stephanie is shocked to see their room full of leaves. Stephanie begins to throw them out the window, and, in response, Michelle throws Stephanie’s shoes out the window.

In another room, D.J. and Steve are talking. Danny comes in pretending to be vacuuming but actually spying. D.J. and Steve leave, annoyed. Stephanie and Michelle enter the room, arguing. Danny, not interested in dealing with it now, quickly tells them to rake up the leaves, kiss, and apologize to each other. He then leaves. Stephanie and Michelle think they got off easy, but then they hear Danny shout “Look at the mess in here!” from the other room.

D.J. and Steve get in the cement truck for privacy. They being making out, and accidentally hit a lever, which causes the cement conveyor to break into the kitchen window and begin pouring cement into the kitchen. Danny enters, asking if there is “anything worse than ground leaves in carpet” to which Jesse responds “yep” upon seeing the cement pouring into the kitchen. They both try in vain to stop the cement. All the while, Joey is sitting at the table listening to a relaxation tape, oblivious to the ruckus.

Later, Danny enters D.J.’s room. She begins to apologize for the cement truck mishap, but Danny also apologizes for invading her privacy and forcing her into the cement truck in the first place. D.J. accused Danny of treating her like a kid. Danny acknowledged that he was particularly concerned with her well-being after hearing that her high-school friend had a baby. Danny agrees to let D.J. go back to Steve’s apartment, and is happy to hear that D.J. has no plans to start a family. D.J. informs her dad that he owes $30 to Steve’s landlord for the chair he broke while looking through the window.

[edit] Wrong-Way Tanner

(September 28, 1993)

Michelle is playing in a soccer game, but she scores the winning goal for the opposite team. She then decides to quit soccer. Stephanie makes an embarrassing video for class about her family.

The second alternate theme is used.

[edit] Tough Love

(October 5, 1993)

Their behavior is effecting the whole Tanner household. The line is crossed after the twins destroy Michelle's science project. Vicky fixes dinner for the family for the first time. Danny pays Michelle & Stephanie $5 to pretend they like the food when they eventually start to love it.

[edit] Fast Friends

(October 12, 1993)

In this Full House episode, Stephanie has been separated from her friends due to a redistricting plan that changes where they attend middle school. She is faced with the struggle of meeting new friends, especially when several who try to befriend her try to encourage her to smoke. She decides not to do this, and ends up making friends with one of these girls, Mickey. Viewers are also introduced to Gia Mahan, who later becomes a friend of Stephanie's. In Making Out Is hard to Do we will learn that Stephanie has helped Gia to quit smoking, be more respectful, and improve her grades.

It was quite common in the early 1990s for American schools to go from a system of Junior High for students in grades 7-8 or 7-9 to a system of Middle Schools for grade 6-8 or 6-9. This was because it was felt children were entering puberty faster and experiencing problems associated with adolescence at an earlier age. In the first of the Full House books, Stephanie is shown to experience a different problem associated with adolescence in sixth grade. In a different school, she is tempted to join a clique known as the Flamingoes. Though it is not stated for certain, it is plausible that a different redistricting plan was adopted by the local school system.

In subsequent airings on ABC Family when they picked up the series, the entire scene with Stephanie refusing to smoke a cigarette in the restrooms was cut, save for her comment about her "last chest x-ray" and the resulting rejection from Mickey et al.
