Richie sends Denise a soda at Arnold's and Wendy delivers it to her. Denise wants to come over to watch some TV at the Cunningham's house at 7 o'clock. Howard looks at a TV Guide to decide what they will watch. Denise starts hugging Richie and Marion and Howard go into the kitchen to leave them alone and are found by Joanie kissing. Marion brings some animal crackers into the family room, and Richie and Denise leave for Inspiration Point.
Denise falls for him, but Richie insists she is Fonzie's girl.
