Recap / The Wonder Years S 05 E 24 Broken Hearts And Burgers

Go To

While out at a fast food restaurants, Winnie catches Kevin flirting with an attractive employee and gets mad at him, refusing to talk to him. Various clips of their past moments are shown, and at the end, Kevin flat-out tells Winnie that she's the only girl he's ever really cared for, and she forgives him.

Includes examples of

  • Big Brother Instinct: While normally a Big Brother Bully, when Wayne hears that Winnie won't let Kevin talk to her, he decides to help him out. Wayne talks to Winnie, the conversation not being heard, but whether he was really trying to help or not, Winnie remains mad at Kevin. Maybe slightly averted as she got offended and slapped Wayne hard across the face—the implication, certainly in character for him, being that Wayne had his own self-serving agenda for helping his brother.
  • Call-Back: Kevin tries to talk to Winnie but her friends block him, similar to what happened in a clip shown in the episode (from "St. Valentines Day Massacre").
  • Clip Show: The episode features clips from past episodes, most of them focusing on Kevin and Winnie's relationship.
  • Earn Your Happy Ending: After Winnie refuses to talk to Kevin, as she leaves, Kevin gives her a speech that gets her to forgive him.
