Learning to Fly

Synopsis
Cody, Eric, and Shawn are all very excited about their trip to Beach State. They are going with Kelsey to enjoy the beach and visit one of the better party schools in the region. But when Kelsey bails on Cody, blaming her Aunt Pru, Cody is very disappointed. He goes anyway, but is upset because he was looking forward to being alone with Kelsey. Before going, Mr. Feeny strongly suggests that Eric should look into better quality schools, such as Pennbrook, but Eric says Beach State seems more like a sure thing.

At the college, Cody, Eric, and Shawn were staying with Julie, and old friend of Eric's. But the sorority house mom, Mrs. Blutemann, doesn't allow boys. Eric sneaks out with Julie, leaving Cody and Shawn alone and trapped. When Mary Beth shows up, very sad because her boyfriend just dumped her, she is immediately attracted to Cody and kicks Shawn out. Cody resists Mary Beth's advances until Eric comes back and lectures Cody about how the easy thing to do isn't always the right thing to do. Cody points out that that is exactly what Eric is doing at Beach State and together, they leave.

Back at home, Eric goes to meet with Dean Bolander about his interview, which he had stood earlier because he was afraid. Although she is resistant, Eric is determined to get his say, impressing the Dean. When his college letter finally arrives, he is accepted.

Trivia

 * When Cody tells Mary Beth he has a girlfriend named Kelsey, she laughs and says it "sounds like a freeway exit." There is an actual freeway exit with this name.
