... along with the softer side of Eddie Haskell.
Eddie Haskell has a damaged coaster car that he sells to Beaver, with Wally supervising the purchase to make sure Eddie does not cheat Beaver in the sale. They return home and start working on the car when they realize it will need new wheels. Penny, the rather cross successor to Judy Hensler, has surprisingly offered her old baby buggy to Beaver so he can use the wheels. But Beaver goes to her house without the tools to remove the wheels, so he vacantly decides to push the buggy back home. However, he soon regrets this decision as he is stared, pointed, and laughed at by passerby's young and old.
Meanwhile, Wally learns of what Beaver has decided to do and goes out to meet him in route, to prevent him from being "clobbered" by some kid and to save the family name from disgrace. When Beaver runs into Gilbert and Richard, he decides to toss the carriage into a ditch to avoid further embarrassment. But Gilbert and Richard spy the abandoned buggy and decide to take it for the wheels that they need for their own coaster car that they are building. Beaver stands by helplessly as his dreams of his own car seem to go up in smoke. How will this all work out? Watch and find out.
This episode was full of several nice small moments - Wally looking out for his brother, Penny and Beaver talking like normal human beings to each other but admitting they'd get "the business" from their friends if they were known to be talking to a member of the opposite sex, and Eddie Haskell actually feeling sorry for Beaver's embarrassment, remembering a time when he too was publicly embarrassed as a child. Probably the best moment, though, for me, came from Ward. He was remarking on how heartwarming it was to see his sons working together on the coaster car, and lamenting the fact that he and his brother, once so close, now had a relationship that was pretty much confined to sending each other Christmas cards.
As for the two older guys who, upon seeing Beaver walk down the street with the baby buggy, bemoaned the lack of masculinity in the next generation, all I can say is - Oh, fellas, just you wait!
