Beaver feels he has to hide something.

Scrabjan1 · 02-25-2017, 11:28 AM

Good answer tdr but I was thinking of something else, maybe an inanimate object.

Torgo · 02-25-2017, 11:59 AM

Camera

Scrabjan1 · 02-27-2017, 04:29 PM

Correct! In all episodes we see a camera even that old one in Class Picture. Fred's the type of guy who would make his daughter kiss a boy for a photo, then use it without permission.

What one item of Wally's did Beaver mess with not just once but twice in 24 hours. This item was important to Wally, and Beaver first inadvertently messed with it and later didn't do what he was told and ruined it. You could almost have blamed June for its destruction.

Torgo · 02-27-2017, 06:24 PM

Wally's suit?
First with the minnows (I think) smelling up the suit, then later when the glove oil gets spilled on it, then the bleach, then when Beaver tries to paint the color back.

Scrabjan1 · 02-28-2017, 09:57 AM

Correct again! Beaver really had it in for that suit jacket. If he had hung it up in the closet no problem, but no plot. June should have hung it up herself.

What do these have in common? To name a few!

Basketball
Fielder's mitt
Pigeons
Kite kit
Hamster
Model airplane
Diary

These are things that Ward bought for Beaver

They all belonged to Beaver and they were ruined or misused. Basketball-- Beaver let some air out and tried to take it in a suitcase to his friend. Fielder's mitt-- Beaver lost it to Whitey betting he could walk 20 miles in a day, as Ward claimed that he himself had done when he gave Beaver his old pedometer. Pigeons-- killed by a neighboring cat. Kite kit-- broken because Gilbert coerced Beaver into trying it out the day before Kite Day. Hamster-- mentioned in the pigeons episode, Beaver also had a hamster that 'conked out.' Model airplane-- Wally put together the model and Beaver threw it out the window to see if it would really fly, beginning a fight, then June's attempt at forcing a friendship pact. Diary-- Ward and June violated Beaver's privacy by reading it and thinking Beaver really meant the outlandish things that he wrote he was doing.

Hey tdr that was a great rendition of what happened to those items. LaJonda Jones wrote what I was thinking. All those items were given to Beaver (and Wally, basketball) by Ward. I'm sure there are more. I probably could have mentioned the orchid and such that Ward brought Wally but mainly what Beaver got.

What do these episodes have in common?

School Play - Beaver almost plays a canary

Teacher Comes to Dinner

Class Picture - Beaver makes a face in photo

LaJonda Jones · 03-03-2017, 11:19 PM

This is a totally wild guess.
Something has to be wiped off of someones face.

I'd say they're all in "Family Scrapbook" but I'm not sure "School Play" is. I definitely know the other 2 are.

Hint: Two people are in the same scene in all three and never again.
