‘Girl Meets World’ season 2, episode 10 reaction: Eric Matthews and a Tommy surprise

Can Eric Matthews be a worthy politician? On tonight’s new episode of “Girl Meets World,” we found out what happens when he was more or less roped into a massive operation to run for New York Senate.

What was the major twist here? It was as simple as the notion of him being brought in mostly to make the other candidate look better. Eric was devastated at first, but then Riley and company tried to figure out some various ways to be make him shine. All it took from him was a passionate debate, and a favorable setting at John Quincy Adams school, in order to help make it happen. Also, the Senator he was up against was a heel.

The big point that Eric’s rival failed to understand is that the children are the future, and that while they are not able to vote right now, their voices do matter. The message throughout the episode was to make sure everyone feels like they are important and valued in our political system. Why not convince people while they are young that voting is necessary?

Now, let’s talk the big surprise of the night: Tommy! The “Boy Meets World” character, who Eric at one point treated like a little brother. While we imagine that this appearance may not have been that impactful for casual fans of the show, it was a tear-jerker for longtime viewers who remember this story well and Eric deciding that it was best to let Tommy go. We don’t know how Eric’s campaign will end, but Tommy wants to help.
