In The Goldbergs season 6 episode 13, titled "I Coulda Been a Lawyer," Adam and Barry's planning for a big school event goes awry when they accidentally schedule it on the same day as a charity walk run by Murray. To avoid getting in trouble with their dad, the two brothers come up with a plan to participate in the walk and then sneak out early to attend their school event. Meanwhile, Beverly is determined to help Erica study for the SATs, but her coaching methods prove to be quite unconventional.
The episode kicks off with Murray excitedly telling his family about the upcoming charity walk that he has been a part of for years. However, when Adam and Barry interrupt and announce that they have planned a big school event on the same day, Murray is not pleased. He informs the boys that they will have to participate in the walk as a family, but to their dismay, it turns out to be much longer and more grueling than they anticipated.
Meanwhile, Beverly is determined to help Erica study for the SATs, but her methods quickly prove to be unorthodox and even detrimental to Erica's progress. Beverly insists on quizzing Erica on all kinds of irrelevant information, including the names of every character from "The Facts of Life." Erica becomes increasingly frustrated and overwhelmed, leading to a blow-up argument that threatens to derail her chances at a good SAT score.
Back at the charity walk, Adam and Barry struggle to keep up with the rest of the family and are convinced that they will never make it to their school event on time. However, they come up with a plan to sneak off early and attend the event without their dad noticing. As they rush to the school, they encounter several mishaps that threaten to ruin their chances of pulling off their plan.
In the end, the family reunites at the charity walk finish line, and Adam and Barry narrowly avoid getting caught sneaking out. Erica also realizes that Beverly's unconventional coaching has actually helped her think outside the box and improve her SAT scores.
"I Coulda Been a Lawyer" is a hilarious and heartfelt episode that showcases the Goldbergs' unique family dynamic and their unwavering determination to support and help each other, no matter how unconventional their methods may be.
