In Full House season 2 episode 13, titled "Working Mothers," the Tanner household receives a new addition with Stephanie's new friend Harry, who is staying with the family for a few days. However, the main focus of the episode lies on the theme of working mothers.
Danny has a new girlfriend, Cindy, who is a successful doctor with a busy career. She worries about leaving her daughter Carrie alone at home, but Danny assures her that he can handle taking care of her. However, when Cindy's schedule proves too hectic to allow her to attend a school play Carrie is participating in, Danny faces the challenge of how to balance his work and taking care of Carrie during her busy schedule.
Meanwhile, Becky is struggling with the same issue. Her successful career as a morning talk-show host has left her feeling guilty about her lack of time with her family, especially her infant sons. The guilt is compounded when her boss asks her to fill in for the evening news anchor, which means she will have to miss seeing her sons in their school play.
The theme of working mothers is explored throughout the episode, as both Danny and Becky learn to balance their careers with their responsibilities as parents. The episode also touches on the importance of support systems, as Becky and Jesse's family and friends step in to help them take care of their sons.
As usual, the episode also has its share of comedic moments, such as when Joey takes Harry on a tour of San Francisco, and when Jesse and Joey create a mini-restaurant in the kitchen to feed the family.
Ultimately, "Working Mothers" showcases the challenges and joys of balancing a successful career with the responsibilities of parenthood, and serves as a reminder of the importance of family and support systems.
