19. Kid Gloves

Complete story — includes the ending

Cory, Shawn, Minkus, and Topanga are required to choose an extra curricular activity and they all wind up in SCUBA diving. The next day, Cory is celebrating his 12th birthday and Alan bestows to him a gift. Cory realizes that the gift is just a worthless necklace of silver mittens, but he pretends to love it in order not to hurt Alan's feelings. Alan becomes disappointed knowing that Cory doesn't like his gift. Meanwhile, Morgan is persistently whining that she didn't get a gift like before during Cory and Eric's birthday. During the SCUBA class, Cory and Shawn are making jokes about each other's swimsuits until they are left speechless seeing Topanga in her bathing suit. They are excited to meet the SCUBA instructor but are shocked that it is Mr. Feeny. Later, Cory realizes that he lost Alan's necklace and goes SCUBA diving alone in an attempt to find it. Alan explains to Cory that he got it while he was in the U.S. Navy. During dinner, Eric poorly covers up for Cory when he tells their parents that he went to Shawn's house for dinner because Shawn is at the Matthews house. Alan and Amy realize that Cory is missing. While searching for Alan's necklace, Cory is caught by Mr. Feeny and is immediately brought home. Mr. Feeny tells Cory he found the necklace. Cory gives it to Alan telling him that he is not worthy of that kind of a gift. In the end credits, Alan secretly gives Morgan a toy horse but tells her not to tell Amy. He tells her that he won it in the Navy. Guest star: Danielle Fishel as Topanga
