Girl Meets - Episode 107
Summary
Will Friedle opens the episode with a humorous story about his hospital stay for a kidney stone, where he was unexpectedly recognized by staff. The hosts then review a *Girl Meets World* episode featuring Lee Norris's return as Stuart Minkus and Cheryl Texera's debut as Katie Hart. They praise the adult characters' energy and the "mashed potatoes" dinner scene, while critiquing the show's heavy-handed lessons and dense plotlines. The discussion also highlights the awkwardness of focusing on the male lead's attractiveness and the lack of clear character development for Riley.
