synopsis
In the conclusion of Growing Pains' two-part Season Three opener (originally telecast as a single one-hour special), the Seaver family continues vacationing in beautiful Hawaii. Whether or not they're enjoying the vacation is something else again: Jason (Alan Thicke) still feels neglected by his family; Maggie (Joanna Kerns) is feverishly trying to complete an important writing assignment; and Mike (Kirk Cameron) and Carol (Tracey Gold) are mortified to discover that their summertime romances have been captured on videotape by pesky younger brother Ben (Jeremy Miller). This episode was largely taped on location at the island of Maui.
