She says that a wedding hall has opened up for July 4Then, she adds that her parents are coming to visit to discuss the wedding. Cory immediately begins to freak out, making cards for his parents with pre-approved discussion topics. Things go way off topic, but Topanga's parents aren't getting along anyway. Jedidiah needs to take a walk outside, and Rhiannon can't seem to stop crying. As the tension reaches a peak, they announce that they're planning to get divorced. Jedidiah suggests that they may have gotten married too young, but Rhiannon insists that this has nothing to do with Cory and Topanga.
Meanwhile, Shawn and Eric have what they believe is their first talk ever. First, Shawn asks Eric what about Rachel it is that attracts him so much. All Eric can come up with is that she's pretty, and he realizes the error of his ways. Shawn says he found himself during his road trip, when he stared into the night sky. Eric says he'll find himself his own way. He meets Jack and Rachel and tells them they have his blessing. He tells them that he realized he was more interested in the competition than Rachel herself, and he's okay with what ended up happened. When Rachel hears of this competition, there is a sudden, uncomfortable silence.
