Goodbye, Mr. Bear

This is a very special episode. It is the only episode we get to see Danny's late wife, Pam. But I'll get to that in a minute.

The main event in this episode is Stephanie's loss of her beloved friend, Mr. Bear. It's cleaning day and Danny tells Stephanie to gather all her old toys she no longer wants to donate to Goodwill. Unfortunately, she carelessly throws Mr. Bear down in the pile of toys. Joey comes in and picks up the pile of toys, then gives them to the men.

Guess who get's blamed? Stephanie is so desperate to find her furry friend that she even grabs a cop off the street. When the cop discovers the truth, he merely shakes his head at Joey who he undoubtedly thinks should be in jail for such a crime against a little girl!

The real reason Stephanie loves her bear so much is soon discovered. That leads to watching of home movies, which leads to a very depressing ending!

One of my favorite episodes!
