Girl Meets World: Girl Meets Ski Lodge Preview Discussion

Girl Meets World: Girl Meets Ski Lodge

Preview Discussion

Okay, we have what should be and is being built up to be, a huge event this week on Girl Meets World. Eight episodes into season 3 and we are heading back to the ski lodge! That’s right, THAT ski lodge. Since this is so major, I wanted to discuss it the day before so we can prepare ourselves for what’s ahead. This post will be looking at the official Disney teaser and then the sneak peek that was released.

Now, let’s talk about some initial thoughts I’ve had based on just the fact that they are going back to the ski lodge:

We all know what happened at the ski lodge the first time around- Lauren (uhg!) She caused so much pain for Corey and Topanga and us as viewers. Corey is at fault too, but this was not a fun time in BMW history. Eventually, we know Corey and Topanga were able to move past this, marry and now have Riley!

Will this be awaiting Riley and her friends?

So, this brings up the question: why?! Why would Corey and/or Topanga even go back to a place that has so many bad memories and feelings attached to it and why would they let their daughter go if it is some sort of school trip?

Now we know what happened last time we saw this ski lodge, but what should be interesting is what is going to happen to all of our favorite couples. In Corey and Topanga’s time, it broke them up, but GMW has no real established couple (Farkle and Smackle don't count). It just has triangle that show refuses to acknowledge, but is totally make a punchline every week when Lucas says something to either Riley and Maya and sometimes Smackle, when she’s not MIA or most likely lying in the high school hall somewhere.

What will most likely happen, is that Lucas will break either Riley or Maya’s heart when he finally chooses, thus ending the triangle that doesn’t exist in the writer’s minds and force them to think of a new ongoing joke. Let’s go to the previews now:

First up, the official preview: It’s only 15 seconds, so this is going to be fast!

The first thing we see is Riley being helped in by Maya and Lucas- is she hurt, did she get hurt skiing? It doesn’t matter because, she sees the ski lodge’s bay window and promptly flies to plop herself down on it.

I am certain Riley would be happy spending the entire trip here!

I also noticed it is very clearly fall at the ski lodge, which makes sense, since the start of season three is back to school, so essentially fall. But there is no snow. What are they going to do at the ski lodge without snow to ski on? Ride the chairlift up and down the mountain? Go on a hike? Or are they just going to sit around in the bay window until something in the triangle gives?

"There's not even any snow!" Maya and Lucas to Riley.

The rest of the preview is devoted to a new guy who works at the ski lodge, ala Lauren, that catches Riley’s eye and sits with her in the bay window. That’s fine and all if she wasn’t suppose to be so head over heels in love with Lucas and would negate everything she said has said and done up to this point.

"I've noticed you been sitting here all day" new guy to Riley.
(Notice it is nighttime)

Now there is was a second, little longer sneak peek tells a little more. It’s the clip from E! news, but no a huge spoiling preview on the episode.

We see in class Corey begrudgingly talking about nature (or smacking the chalkboard really hard with a pointing stick) and that something is going to happen to them when they go to the ski lodge and he is going to prepare them for it!

The whole gang is back for this episode!

Now I have seen another preview that is really unofficial and shows Corey and Topanag’s arrival. An old woman is working the front desk when they arrive and Topanga comments that “Lauren did not age well, just saying.” LOL I love that she takes a shot at her. Further in the preview, while still sitting in the bay window, Riley announces that nature is telling them the triangle must die. Yes! It must! Please let it!

Now, I’m not sure about this new guy or why we are even meeting him at this point. He’s not Farkle, nor Charlie (who I think would be a better fit for this storyline), so unless he’s Lauren’s son, I don’t get why he’s there, other than to be a throwback to Lauren herself.

IF I WROTE THE EPISODE

This is what I’d hope to see and hope how it ends. The gang goes to the awful dreaded school lodge as school field trip. Corey protested a lot, but this is something all freshmen classes do every year. Upon arriving, Riley runs into Charlie, who is working at the ski lodge to help his family. He tells us that his mother moved to the mountain to take over the family business. Farkle and Smackle who are also on the trip also begin to have problems because Farkle realizes he is essentially dating himself. Lucas and Maya grow closer doing whatever they are doing on the mountain while Farkle turns to Riley for help. Riley must also fend off advances for Charlie. Katy and Sean have also come on the trip and Katy complains about a woman who will not leave Sean alone. At the end of the episode, Maya and Lucas kiss, Smackle sees Riley and Farkle having moment, while Charlie’s mother has thrown a dinner for everyone where Katy reveals to Corey and Topanga that Charlie’s mother is the one pestering Sean and it’s Lauren!

I leave you with one final image . . .

True Love (even if they don't know it yet)
