Boy. Meets. Reunion.
It was the moment we’ve been waiting for all season on “Girl Meets World,” Cory, Shawn and Topanga were finally back together again. On Friday’s episode, “Girl Meets Home for the Holidays,” Shawn (Rider Strong) finally made his much-anticipated appearance along with Mr. and Mrs. Matthews (William Russ and Betsy Randle) and Cory’s younger brother Joshua (Uriah Shelton).
In the episode, we learn why Shawn has been gone this whole time. He apparently felt left out after Cory’s daughter Riley (Rowan Blanchard) was born, so he left the city. Shawn clearly has an uncomfortable relationship with the girl, but in classic “Boy Meets World” … er … “Girl Meets World” fashion, it all works out in the end.
In reality, this episode could’ve literally been about anything and it wouldn’t have mattered because we all just wanted to see Shawn and Cory back together again. It happened, and it was awesome.
The best part is “Girl Meets World” isn’t done yet. The writers of the show have confirmed that Shawn, Eric Matthews and Mr. Feeny are all going to be an important part of Season 2. The episode featuring Eric’s return is called “Girl Meets Mr. Squirrels,” but it might as well be “Girl Breaks The Internet Forever.”
