Ep 12. Danny in Charge

Danny in Charge is the twelfth episode of the fourth season of the popular family sitcom Full House. The episode opens with Jesse and Joey heading out to Vegas for the night, leaving Danny in charge of the girls. At first, Danny is thrilled to have the responsibility and confidence in his ability to take care of his daughters. However, things quickly start to go awry as the girls begin to push their limits and test Danny's authority.

The trouble begins when Danny tries to enforce a new set of rules, particularly a curfew for D.J. and a ban on junk food. D.J. doesn't take kindly to the new rules and tries to persuade her dad to change his mind, using various tactics like guilt trips and bargaining. Meanwhile, Stephanie and Michelle take advantage of the situation by misbehaving and not listening to their dad's instructions.

As the night goes on, the house starts to fall apart, with D.J. sneaking out to a party, Stephanie jumping on the couch, and Michelle making a mess in the kitchen. Danny becomes increasingly frustrated and overwhelmed, starting to doubt his ability to control the situation. However, he refuses to give up and sets out to put everything back in order.

Danny soon realizes that he may have been too strict with his rules and decides to compromise with his daughters. He agrees to let D.J. stay out for a little longer as long as she calls to check in, and allows Stephanie and Michelle to have a snack as long as they clean up after themselves. In return, the girls agree to behave and respect their dad's authority.

The episode concludes with Jesse and Joey returning from their trip, amazed at how well Danny handled the responsibility of being in charge. Danny, on the other hand, is relieved that the night is over and happy to see his friends back home. The family ends the night with a group hug and a lesson learned about the importance of communication and understanding between parents and children.

Overall, Danny in Charge is a heartwarming and humorous episode that highlights the challenges of parenting and the importance of compromise and communication. It is a classic example of Full House's family-oriented theme and offers a relatable and entertaining story that will make viewers both laugh and empathize with the characters.
