Sorry, wanted the last to be a poll but tat button's hard to spot downt here to click on for one, and now you don't have to read long explanations, anyway. So now, with a little bit more time I've slated for today before I turn back to all the other writing I do...

By season 5, D.J.'s so much more mature, Michelle much nicer, Stephanie too, that episodes like "Sisters in Crime" couldn't happent he same way; D.J. finds a sitter quickly, or something. We've evidence the girls don't go to New Zealand, Michelle isn't punished as long & doesn't run away in "The Devil made Me Do it," and so on from statements int he books. We know for sure anything w/classes is gone, & Michelle likely is w/Danny's group int eh museum w/the dinosaur, and wouldn't runw ild anyway.

But, easly on, things coulds till be the same. Which of these likely happens the same way in the books?
