Chip is getting bothered by a bully. He's felling really down. He doesn't want to go to school. Steve is insistent that Chip take care of it himself. Steve says that Chip should fight back. If the Bully's going to start punching regardless of what Chip does, than Chip should get some punches in.
And, Chip gets the stuffing kicked out of him worse than before.
Bub has a funny meeting with the principal but that's about it on the humor front. Steve vanishes for most of the episode, on another "trip". Steve really isn't in this show much at all. He sort of floats around the outside. There's a reason why the character is remembered as a pipe-smoking, advice-distributing dad who wades in and solves the problems. Because he isn't in it much. He appears, solves the problems and then is gone. Whole swathes of the episodes go buy without him appearing. It can feel a little odd.
So, Chip gets beat up a lot and...Steve finds out that his advice had backfired. Chip keeps attacking the bully, long past the point where the bully wants to fight. It's a nice twist...and at that point, when Steve is ready to have his final chat with Chip...my DVD jumped.
Oh no. This darn DVD. The next episode is on Disc 3 of my collection so I'm hoping everything will be OK. Basically, as Steve is about to talk to Chip, the episode jumps back to the end of Bub Leaves Home...Come on!
Well, the episode is pretty interesting up to that point. Wish I knew the ending. Everyone lives...I know that.
