Complete story — includes the ending

Karen returns home from college for a mid-semester break and informs the family that she won't be back for summer because she has gotten a job on campus. Kevin and Wayne's shared bedroom is becoming too cramped for the both of them, and although both of them would love to have separate bedrooms, but neither of them is willing to move out. The situation slowly becomes so heated, that Jack declares that neither of them will get the room, and Wayne decides to sleep in his car rather than spend one more night in the same room with Kevin. Kevin, shocked by his brother's hateful comments, gets even when he kicks the bumper off Wayne's car, accidentally causing it to roll down the street and crash into a hydrant. After the incident, they each admit wanting the room; but in the end, Jack flips a coin and Wayne wins the toss—and Karen's room. Absent: Danica McKellar as Winnie Cooper.
