This episode was very cute and funny. Cory wanted the kids to learn about running in elections and told them that they could run for any kind of government that they wanted to. Farkle wanted to run for class dictator, Lucas wanted to run for class president and Riley wanted to be a princess. Maya chose not to run for anything and instead help Riley by being her campaign manager.

The campaign started to go in Farkle’s favor after he showed a video that he sneakily took when Riley and Maya had the horse in her bedroom. Lucas told Riley and Maya to not attack Farkle since they’re friends and not to make the campaign tear them apart. Maya decided that her and Riley should go after Lucas instead of Farkle. Riley didn’t want to, but Maya told her that there was a secret about him that they didn’t know and how she wanted to sue that secret against him.

The next day Riley and Maya overheard Lucas talking on the phone with his dad about how he wanted to go home for the weekend. Lucas was upset because he didn’t understand why they couldn’t go home when his dad had told him before they moved that he could see his friends on the weekend if he wanted to. He told his Dad that he had friends at John Quincy Adams but they were all destroying each other. At the end of the conversation Lucas told his dad that he didn’t want to come to the school in the first place. After saying that he realized that Riley and Maya had overheard the entire conversation and asked them if they were going to use it against him. Maya told him that she was going to and Riley told him not to worry that it was Maya’s word against his. Maya then proceed to pull her phone out of her pocket and play a recording that she took of the conversation.

The next day was election day and Cory was about to announce the winner but Riley and Maya interrupted him. They told him to hold on because they had a very important campaign commercial that everyone needs to say. Cory said that everyone had already seen the campaign commercials and that the votes were in so the video wouldn’t change anything. Riley argued that it would and that it wasn’t about the votes that it was about Lucas. Cory turned and asked Lucas if he had known about this and if it was okay with him. Lucas said yes he knew about it and that if this was the kind of friends Maya and Riley wanted to be then it was fine with him. The video was of two of Lucas’s friends from Texas who had nothing but good things to say about him. It turned out that not only did it cheer Lucas up to see that video but Maya and Riley actually helped Lucas win the election.

After winning the election Lucas made Farkle his Vice President, and Maya his Secretary of State. Feeling left out Riley asked Lucas what she was to him. Instead of answering her right away he called for her horse and once it came to him he got on it then had Riley get on it with him. He placed the crown on her head, smiled at her, and told her that she would be his princess.

Topanga had problems putting Auggie to sleep at home. Cory let Auggie stay up late to watch the baseball game which made Auggie very tired the next day. This was also a great reference to Boy Meets World when Alan let Cory stay up to watch the baseball game with him. I also did love how Topanga was different in this episode with her wearing pajamas and was so tired which reminded me of the old Topanga.

I also loved the following moments:

Topanga thinking that the horse was Cory.
Lucas calling Riley his princess.
Cory calling both Riley and Topanga his princesses and kissed them both on the forehead.
The whole family were together on the couch and the reason why Auggie cannot sleep is because he wanted both his parents with him.
