When Eric's shoddy set design injures the star of the college play, Eric assumes his role. After a surprisingly superb Shakespearean acting debut, Eric is invited to join the cast of the hit ABC sitcom Kid Gets Acquainted with Universe. But when he arrives at the studio, he discovers that the shallow, egotistical, and neurotic actors (played by the cast of Boy Meets World) are not at all like their roles. Meanwhile, Topanga tries to salvage her relationship with Shawn, who's not sure he can remain friends with both her and Cory in the wake of their breakup, after he and Jack come down with chicken pox.

A once-in-a-lifetime Van Gogh retrospective makes Cory blue: he stood in line all night to get tickets for himself and Topanga, but she has gone with Angela instead – and met a terrific, intelligent and sensitive guy, Ricky Ferris, who claims she has already changed his life once (by beaning him in softball and convincing him to give up sports for art), spends all day with her looking at Van Gogh's The Starry Night and asks for a dinner date with her. Cory remains adamant that he will love Topanga forever and that kissing Lauren meant nothing to him. Topanga cannot bring herself to believe him until Ricky kisses her—and she rushes to tell Cory that it meant nothing to her and that she still loves him.

Also starring: Trina McGee-Davis as Angela Moore

Guest stars: Jonathan Jackson as Ricky Ferris, Randy Thompson as Guard, Stephanie Patton as Toddler, Joanna McCracken as Joanna, Katie Stern as Girl

A reconciled Cory and Topanga pretend to be estranged so Shawn can be the one to "reunite" them, despite Mr. Feeny's warning that "the stupid idea train [is] coming 'round the bend". Shawn's mediation tactics lead to more turmoil for the duo: when he encourages them to be open about their hurt feelings, they insult each other and break up again. It's finally up to Shawn (with an assist from Cory's parents) to set things straight once and for all.

Guest stars: Linda Cardellini as Lauren, Jonathan Jackson as Ricky Ferris

It's a big night: Senior Prom, and Shawn and Cory plan to "leave as boys and come back men." Angela quickly decides she and Shawn are not ready for sex, but Topanga feels that she and Cory may be ready, as long as the night goes "exactly, perfectly right." Meanwhile, Amy is upset because of how Alan reacts to her recent good news: she's pregnant. To make up for it, he decides to check them into a hotel: the same one where the prom is being held. Eventually, Cory and Topanga decide they aren't ready for the potential consequences, and decide to wait.

Cory is distressed when he realizes that his entire world is changing around him: Shawn considers not going to college, Topanga considers going to Yale, Chubbie's is reformed as "Peg-Leg Pete's", and Mr. Feeny intends to retire and move to Wyoming.

But Cory, who expects his longtime friends will want to continue as classmates, finds that everything cannot always go according to his plan.

It's the end of an era as Cory, Shawn, Topanga, Angela, and the rest of their class prepare to graduate. In the final week, Mr. Feeny assigns the class to write about "what is in their hearts." While Shawn ignores the assignment at first, seeing as high school is now over, he comes to realize that his school days meant more to him than he realizes. Meanwhile, Topanga wrestles with going to Yale or staying with Cory. Cory tries to hide his lying eyes and convince Topanga that he wants her to go away to Yale, and Shawn surprises everyone with his indifference toward graduation. Cory, Shawn, and Topanga reunite with their old classmate, Stuart Minkus, who reveals he has been on the other side of the school the entire time, along with Mr. Turner (unseen). Meanwhile, Eric tries to keep Mr. Feeny from retiring, and Topanga slyly steals the valedictorian position from Minkus and shocks Cory by proposing to him.
