Synopsis by Hal Erickson
In the conclusion of a two-part episode, Jason (Alan Thicke), Carol (Tracey Gold), Mike (Kirk Cameron) and Boner (Andrew Koenig) are arrested at the sit-protest against the firing of Coach Lubbock (Bill Kirchenbauer)--and an embarassed Maggie (Joanna Kerns) is forced to cover the event for Channel 19. As for Lubbock, he is extremely upset over the pain that the protest is causing his three daughters. By episode's end, however, the situation is resolved in an unexpected but supremely logical fashion. This episode was originally telecast as the lead-in for the premiere episode of the Growing Pains spinoff Just the Ten of Us, starring Bill Kirchenbauer.
