Rue McClanahan guests as Cory's freewheeling grandmother Bernice, who breezes into town with all sorts of fantastic plans and promises (including a Cal Ripkinautograph!) for her grandson. In eager anticipation, Cory (Ben Savage) backs out of a fishing trip with dad Alan (William Russ), who invites his son's buddy Shawn (Rider Strong) along instead. Alas, Grandma blithely reneges on all her promises--and it looks like Cory will never recover from this devastating disillusionment. Meanwhile, Eric (Will Friedle) sets his sights on Mr. Feeny's gorgeous niece, played by no less than Keri Russell).
