Plot summary
Cory's teaching about the 1960s fails to inspire Riley, Maya, Lucas and Farkle, so he assigns his class a project to research their ancestors of the time. Riley finds out about her great-grandmother Rosie McGee who kept a journal and always saw good in other people. Lucas discovers his great-grandfather Merlin Scoggins was a country singer. Farkle's research points him to the manager of Greenwich Village 's Café Hey, named Ginsburg, his great-grandfather. He discovers that his grandfather photographed Rosie, Merlin, and a blonde named May Clutterbucket, a young woman whom Maya reluctantly reveals she is related to, because May gave up on things.
The four realize they had ancestors who all met that one afternoon, and what they learn about their 1960s counterparts resparks their interest in history. When recording in her journal that May intends to travel to Topanga Canyon, Rosie opines that it is a nice name for something one loves; implying that, 20 years later, Rhiannon named her daughter Topanga as a result of Rosie's encounter with May. Also starring: Corey Fogelmanis as Farkle Absent: August Maturo as Auggie Matthews
