Episode 111: Poker
'The Wonder Years' Poker (TV Episode 1993) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
It’s Poker Night for Kevin and the guys - Jeff, Paul, Chuck, and Randy are all headed over in hopes of winning a few hands. It’s an interesting night, as we see everyone’s personalities on display in comparison to each other. They’re about what you’d expect - Kevin’s impatient, Paul is cautious, Randy is straightforward, Chuck is spastic, and Jeff is cooly confident. We get to see what the guys might be like in their 70’s in one of the better fantasy sequences of the show, and they’re pretty much the exact same. We haven’t seen much of Paul this season, and we’re starting to see why - he’s annoying the rest of the guys with his stuffiness. In fact, he’s so stuffy that the rest of the guys don’t want him to join them on their planned ski trip and want Kevin to break the news to him.
Paul’s not the only one affected. Chuck’s a nervous wreck, even more so than usual. Turns out that hes concerned about Alice, and he fesses up that they’re doing the complete opposite of fighting - a moment that’s prefaced with majestic music and back slaps, broken up by Paul’s admonitions that he’d better be using protection. Paul goes further and starts spraying deodorizer when Jeff lights up a cigar, while Randy breaks down and admits he might have to repeat junior year due to his lowly math skills. Chuck’s so broken up that he starts crying… but it’s not over Randy’s math, it’s over the fact that Alice might be pregnant. Oh, and it looks like Jeff’s been cheating at cards.

The guys are all on top of each other, and Kevin’s starting to get annoyed with all of them. In fact, they’re all getting annoyed with each other, period. Then they run out of food, and it’s pretty much the end of the world. Since Kevin can’t trust any of them, they all pile into the Chongmobile for food. While in the store, Kevin and Paul start having it out over each of them changing, and not really being in the same group of friends any more. Everyone’s tired of the BS, and they head back to Kevin’s house for the be all-end all poker game. Dollar ante, and poker faces all around.
Everyone’s out for blood. It’s cutthroat. Brutal. The bets keep escalating until it’s time to call; the guys go around the table and Jeff folds, leaving Randy the big winner. He lets out a whoop with a big smile, and the tension around the guys suddenly starts going away. Things get even better when Alice calls looking for Chuck, to give him the news that she’s not pregnant. Everyone leaves happy, and when Kevin cleans up, he looks at Jeff’s cards and realizes that he folded on purpose to allow Randy the win. Then, Kevin keeps looking at Jeff’s cards and realizes that he had FIVE kings… the lousy cheat. But he redeemed himself by allowing Randy his moment, and as usual, all’s well that ends well… for the most part.
