Girl Meets Demolition was such a great episode. It was a bonus episode to bridge season 1 and season 2. The writing was great and it was hilarious. I thought that Debby Ryan was fantastic and really hope that we will see her again. The episode started off with Topanga telling the girls to get out of the house because they had been sitting on their bay window all day. Maya and Riley decide that they are going to make some extra cash and take their clothes along with a credit card that Topanga gave Riley for emergencies to the Demolition shop. It is there that we are introduced to the store clerk “Aubrey” played by Debby Ryan. While there, Riley sees a dress that she falls for and of course Aubrey manipulates her and Maya into purchasing the dress and Riley paid for it with Topanga’s credit card. Riley and Maya go to Riley’s house and they tell Cory about this. They fear that Topanga is going to find out about this so they sucked up to Cory. Cory went with Riley and Maya to the Demolition shop to confront Aubrey on the manipulation she used on the girls. Aubrey used flirty tactics on Cory telling him that he has the body of Justin Timberlake as a way to manipulate him as well. Cory of course falls for it as he loved that compliment and ended up purchasing the clothes. He comes home and as you can see in the gif below, he’s bringing sexy back (reference to Justin Timberlake’s song). This was a hilarious moment.
Topanga is there while Riley, Maya and Cory are on the couch. Cory accidentally reveals how much the clothes for him cost to Topanga by going “I’m still not convinced this outfit isn’t working for me”, “Well there’s $1200 I’m never getting back”. Topanga angered, (who wouldn’t be?) goes to the store and threatens Aubrey that she’s going to go after her personally for scamming Riley and she was going to let the laws deal with her about Cory.
What Topanga didn’t know was that there were signs in the room (all sales final, no refunds) so she cannot do anything about Aubrey using her manipulation to make them buy clothes. Jackee Harry who’s “Evelyn Rand” went to the store to buy the dress that Riley took back and made an offer saying that she’d purchase the store. Aubrey’s parents told her they were going to give it Aubrey to make it her store. Turns out when Evelyn offered a high price, the parents wanted to sell the store but Evelyn was joking about the offer.
Aubrey gave them back their money near the end of the episode. The reason why Aubrey was manipulative was because of her parents influencing her in that way. She went to their house as she wanted to be a good person. We’d love to see how Topanga mentors her in future episodes.
For those asking about the astronaut on the horse, here is what the writers said:

Okay, guys, it's like this: An astronaut is a friend who floats away. A horse keeps you grounded. Riley and Maya are an astronaut on a horse
