It was absolutely wonderful to see John Stamos sparring with the Van Dyke guy (is it Jerry or Larry?) I loved him in Diagnosis Murder when he played alongside his father, Dick Van Dyke. In this episode, he plays an intelligent old professor of Becky's and Jesse gets jealous - so jealous, in fact, that he checks out a ton of classics from the library (War and Peace, Crime and Punishment, etc.)
Besides the two titles mentioned above (in a funny dialogue with Mr. Van Dyke that will leave you chuckling), there was also mention of Citizen Kane.
Michelle, meanwhile, is being taught un-kind words by her sisters. The sisters, when ordered by their father to re-train her, find that undoing the teaching is almost impossible.
