synopsis
Shareen Mitchell makes her first series appearance as Virna, the "runaway" mother of Cory's friend Shawn (Rider Strong). When Virna reappears after a year's absence, Cory (Ben Savage) tries to reunite her with her son Shawn and husband Chet (Blake Clark)--who really want this reunion, but are reluctant to make the first move out of fear that Virna might run off again. Cory also finds time to pay homage to Brenda (Loretta Jean), the cafeteria lunch lady, who has unexpectedly passed away.
