21. Angela's Ashes

Complete story — includes the ending

Shawn is excited when Angela's military father, Sgt. Alvin Moore, comes to visit his daughter, Angela. Shawn's happiness is destroyed and crumbled once Sgt. Moore confides in him about his reassignment to Europe and also his plans to take Angela with him in order to form a better relationship with his daughter. Shawn intends to let Angela go to Europe with her father because he knows that it will make Angela happy and it has always been her dream to be together with her father. Shawn tells Cory who tells him not to let Angela go to Europe, as she is the most important person in his life. Cory advises him to have faith that Angela will choose to stay with Shawn, rather than go with her father. Angela tells Shawn that she will stay with him, unless he gives her permission to go. Shawn thinks of Angela's feelings, says he can go, much to the detriment of Cory which causes him to rethink his decision. Rethinking his decision, Shawn confronts Angela and Sgt. Moore, intending to take responsibility for Angela by marrying her and making her stay in Philadelphia. But, just before he is able to say it, Angela thanks Shawn for his understanding and, consequently, he kisses her goodbye as she departs. Meanwhile, Jack is devastated and angry after his rich, affluent, and wealthy stepfather (his mother's second husband) cuts him off after his proposed "business" venture, a website titled ImJack.com. His stepfather thinks that the website is useless and makes no sense. Rachel helps Jack by teaching him to how to change her lifestyle but, unfortunately, he shows little willingness to do so. On the other hand, Topanga tries out for a Brown-Elliot internship in New York City, Manhattan, but Cory did not notice as he was too busy helping Shawn about his problems with Angela. Topanga informs Cory that she was accepted and they will have to move to New York as a result. After hearing this, Cory begins to spin out of control and panic. Guest star: Julius Carry as Sgt.
