What was the most obvious flaw or inconsistency surrounding Eddie in this episode.

Probably having a civil conversation with Beaver, telling him he wasn't really scared, he just didn't like being alone.

Another smaller flaw in the episode (not Eddie) is that I don't think Wally would react like he did, over a game...that's more for Beaver's age, or younger. When Wally says he won after Eddie upsets the board, and Eddie objects, a level-headed teenager like him would probably just let it go.

Good points. I guess Eddie never did have a heart to heart with Beaver like he did.

I was thinking how Eddie is there with only his jacket and plans to stay overnight. Shouldn’t he at least have a small overnight bag with his toothbrush and clothes? Even when he’s at his own house and Wally and Ward go and get him he still doesn’t get anything for overnight I just didn’t get that. Even Larry Mondello showed up overnight with a paper bag granted he had just his army men and his dirty clothes to play in but he was going to borrow pajamas from Beaver. Jackie Waters brought a suitcase.

Love how Ken doesn’t realize the camera is on his hands while he pretends to be putting on the faucet in the sink with his twisting.

One other time Eddie is civil to Beaver is the hiding-under-the -bed episode (watch, I'll have the wrong episode again!), where Wally takes Ward's advice and tells Eddie what Carolyn Shuster really thinks of Eddie, and he throws a fit and storms out. Later outside the front door Eddie asks for Beaver's help in making up with Wally.

And, in the earlier "Eddie's Girl" episode, titled "Eddie's Girl," with the other Caroline, Eddie admits to Beaver at the end that he made it up about Caroline being his girl and that he faked sick so Wally would take her to the dance.

Chopper also brought a suitcase.

Right Chopper brought a suitcase with a box of candy and a box of men’s cologne. He gave presents like Uncle Billy.

J_D made my point exactly about Eddie not having an overnight bag under the post More Blessed to Give Even More to Snoop For.

Ken Osmond said his Eddie Haskell character was good to him. People always remembered Eddie.

You'd like to think the Eddie character straightened out as an adult. We know from the New LITB he didn't. And his son on that show was a junior version of him.
