Private Notes
An 17-year old, Billy, appears and tells a stunned family that he is Bobby's son. And there is more than one thing Bobby and Billy have in common. At least way more than Thomas has with his dad.
Bobby's 'Easy Street' is a hit in Kazakhstan - recorded by a local group. Anna and also Thomas (unknown to each other) audition for 'Romeo and Juliet'. While Anna fails, Thomas succeeds in getting the role and now can kiss 'Juliet' Jodie.
Bobby mistakes a student (who's helping Anna in putting together a time capsule) for Buddy Holly. Thomas (plus dad) is invited to one of his friend's party, whose father is a possible future member of the government.
Tracy tries her hands on plumbering - after all she attended a course. Wayne accidentally ran over his best friend - cock Enzo.
Thomas wins a romantic evening for two and the only girl he can think of is Jodie. Tracy and Doug do the catering.
Thomas and Anna discover that a painting Bobby owns is a Lichtenstein and may be worth a couple thousand dollars. Enough for scheming Thomas. Doug meets a woman and wants to marry her - so she can stay in Australia.
'It' is back - those highly 'positive vibrations' that helped Bobby to stardom. Thomas soon finds out how to use 'it' to make money. After a day together Anna kisses Sam - who immediately falls in love and, later, learns that - because of that kiss - she's pregnant. And there's only one thing he can do.
Anna's denied a top scholarship because of Bobby's past as political activist.
Anna has fallen for a guy, whose father once harassed Tracy who now fears like father like son.
A 48 hour Bobby Rivers marathon on the radio, people lining up for his records...a Bobby Rivers revival? Nope, a tribute to the deceased Bobby.
Thomas tries practical jokes on anybody - which his victims of course don't like. Payback follows.
A top producer is interested and Bobby may have a chance to participate in a rock opera. A knot in Tracy's breast means some fear and an operation for her.
Harriet, still in charge, drives every one nuts. Thomas then finds nude pictures of her in a magazine. Wayne organized a gig for Bobby - Country & Western style.
With Tracy away for two weeks Thomas hires his math professor's annoying sister, Harriet, as housekeeper. Harriet subsequently drives everyone mad.
Beth, the thought-to-be-dead kids' mom, surprises the stunned clan with a visit! She explains what she has done and why the family has thought she was dead. Tracy gets a job offer - in New York.
After a lang quarrel between Anna and her mother, Beth decides to stay. Tracy decides to accept the New York offer - time to say goodbye.
With Tracy's room vacant, Thomas, Anna and Bobby and even Wayne line up to be the next lodger - and Beth's the one to choose.
To get a peek at the nude model in the senior's art class Thomas tries to get in. But what he sees there is... that his own mother is the model. Bobby wants to cut his hair.
Prom's coming up and Bobby and Beth prepare to be in charge of the music and the catering respectively. But the committee - Jodie, Thomas and Anna, vote against them.
A picture of one of his schoolmates reminds Bobby of stealing a Spiderman comic from him back in their school days. Beth has a big account and reluctantly must ask a neighbor for help.
Thomas tries to woo a Californian exchange student. For Bobby and Beth old feelings may be back.
With Anna, Thomas and even Wayne lining up for money, it's not a far cry to know where to turn to when the housekeeping money is missing. But everyone blames everyone else.
Getting close with Beth again Bobby must decide who he loves: Beth or Tracy. For that he travels to New York to see Tracy. Bobby gets the chance to play with Led Zeppelin.
Wanting to know her future, especially with Bobby, Beth goes to see an astrologer. Bobby mistakes her leave for a permanent one.
Bobby is selected for jury duty in a pizza baking contest. And the preparation also gets him to learn about the historical background of pizza. Anna reads a reader's letter in a magazine where a mother complains about her daughter - and the similarities are too striking that it can only be Beth.
The 'noise pollution' of a neigboring band is too much for Bobby and he starts a 'war of sounds'. Beth's new bike and not-so-great biking skills trouble Thomas.
Beth calls in a family counselor because of the constant fighting between Anna, Thomas and Bobby. Wayne has got family problems too.
Wayne's former school is about to be closed and - emotionally attached to the school - he promises to get the money to prevent this. Anna is nearly date-raped.
The school's recess hall should be given to Bigelow Constructions, annoying the students. Beth leads Jodie and a reluctant Anna to protest, resulting in a suspended Anna. Later, a compromise is found in the company using the nearby grassland. Now, that's a solution Anna can't live with. Bobby learns of an upcoming class reunion and is reluctant to go since he was an outsider.
In a maths test Thomas beats Anna who can't believe it and smells a big-time cheat. Only Beth has trust in him and the learning method she taught him. Later, Thomas must tutor Sam.
Thomas and Anna graduate. For summer both get a job and for both it's only of short joy: Anna working in the cafeteria and Thomas although getting a great job in management may forget it because of bad grades. Wayne gets Bobby a jingle-writing job, which Bobby doesn't want.
