Plot Overview

Howard sulks, insistent that Fonzie will bring over members of his gang, girls and motorcycles at all hours of the night (none of which come to pass), and that he is still too much of a bad influence on Richie. But Fonzie talks about how now the Cunninghams are seeming more and more to be like the family he always wanted.

In the end, Howard relents and lets Fonzie stay ... provided he'll be no trouble to the family. Again, none of Howard's fears will ever come to pass.

And in the end, Fonzie ends up becoming one of the family and one of Howard's closest friends, and for Fonzie "Mr. C" becomes a surrogate father and "Mrs. C" virtually a mother.
