In Full House Season 4 Episode 5, titled "Good News, Bad News," the Tanner family faces a rollercoaster of emotions as they receive both good and bad news.

The episode opens with Danny, Joey and Jesse organizing a surprise party for Becky's 26th birthday. They're busy decorating the kitchen when Becky walks in, and they all yell "surprise!" She's touched by the effort they put into it, and the group celebrates with cake. But their celebration is abruptly interrupted by a phone call from Becky's boss, who informs her that she has to fly to Nebraska to cover a story the next day.

Becky is devastated – she was looking forward to spending her birthday with Jesse. But Jesse, being the romantic he is, comes up with a plan to make the most of the time they have left together. He decides to take her on a romantic hot air balloon ride, and the two spend a blissful afternoon soaring above the countryside.

Meanwhile, Stephanie is dealing with some bad news of her own. She's been assigned a school project where she has to prepare a family tree, but she learns that her mother and father both have deceased parents. She feels like she has nothing interesting to write about, and confides in D.J. about her worries.

D.J. helps her sister come up with a unique angle for her project, and suggests she interview their Uncle Jesse about their Greek heritage – something Stephanie never knew about. Uncle Jesse is happy to oblige, and he regales Stephanie with stories of their ancestors.

In the midst of all this, Danny gets some surprising news of his own. He's been offered a new job in Los Angeles, which would require him to move away from the Tanner family home in San Francisco. At first, he's ecstatic at the opportunity, but as the reality of the situation sets in, he begins to have second thoughts. He confides in Joey and Jesse, who are both supportive, but urge him to think carefully about the decision.

As the episode progresses, the emotions continue to run high. Jesse surprises Becky with a beautiful necklace for her birthday, and the two share a tender moment. Stephanie finishes her family tree project with flying colors, and is proud of the unique angle she took. And Danny ultimately decides to turn down the new job, as he realizes that the Tanner family is where his heart truly lies.

Overall, "Good News, Bad News" is a heartwarming episode that showcases the strong bonds between the Tanner family members. It's a reminder that even in the face of challenges and setbacks, they always have each other's backs.
