As You Wish is the twenty-first episode of the second season of the popular sitcom, The Goldbergs. Set in the 1980s, this delightful comedy revolves around the daily lives of the eccentric but loving Goldberg family. The episode takes us on another hilarious and heartwarming journey as the family faces a series of mishaps and revelations.
In this episode, the focus is on the youngest member of the Goldberg clan, Adam. Adam's obsession with all things popular in the '80s is well-known, and in this particular episode, he discovers a new fascination: the classic film, "The Princess Bride."
Adam's love for "The Princess Bride" knows no bounds, and he wants everyone in his life to share his enthusiasm. However, his insistence on constantly quoting the movie and reenacting scenes starts to wear on his family's patience. Despite their initial amusement, they soon grow tired of his incessant repetition of memorable lines, such as "As you wish" and "Inconceivable!"
Meanwhile, Barry, Adam's older brother, faces a dilemma of his own. He accidentally breaks one of their father's prized possessions - a signed Philadelphia Flyers hockey stick. Fearing his dad, Murray, will erupt in anger, Barry frantically tries to fix the stick, but his attempts only make it worse. He enlists the help of his older sister, Erica, to come up with a plan to replace the stick before their dad finds out.
Erica, on the other hand, is preoccupied with her own issues. She is caught in the middle of a feud between two of her friends, Lainey and Valley Erica. Desperate to reunite them, Erica tries to act as a peacemaker, organizing a meeting between the two parties. However, her efforts prove fruitless, and she worries that she might lose both friends in the process.
As the episode progresses, Adam's fascination with "The Princess Bride" reaches its peak when he decides to create a homemade replica of the movie's iconic sword. With the help of his best friend, Dave Kim, Adam sets out on what he believes will be an epic adventure. Together, they gather supplies and spend countless hours painstakingly constructing the sword, much to the bewilderment of Adam's family.
Throughout the chaos caused by Adam's sword-making and Barry's secret mishaps, their mother, Beverly, tries to keep the peace. She attempts to mediate between her squabbling children while simultaneously expressing her concerns about their obsessive and peculiar behaviors. As always, she goes to great lengths to ensure her family remains a tight-knit unit, even if it means resorting to unconventional methods.
As the episode draws to a close, the various storylines start to intertwine. Adam's enthusiasm for "The Princess Bride" finally manages to impress his family, albeit in an unexpected and comical way. Barry's desperate attempts to fix the broken hockey stick lead to hilarious mishaps that keep the audience in suspense until the final moments. And Erica, determined to salvage her friendships, learns valuable lessons about loyalty and compromise.
In typical Goldbergs fashion, As You Wish provides a nostalgic trip down memory lane, capturing the essence of family, love, and the challenges of growing up in the '80s. With its blend of humor and heartwarming moments, this episode reminds us why The Goldbergs continues to be a beloved show, captivating audiences of all ages.
