"Wesley's Friend" January 31, 1986 We're joined by friend of the show Nick Perry for an episode handpicked from VSTV superfan Danny Meyers, we watched the classic Mr. Belvedere episode "Wesley's Friend." Wesley (Brice Beckham) gets bumped up from President Taft to Honest Abe Lincoln in the school President's Day Pageant when his titular friend Danny (Ian Fried) is taken out of school as he has been diagnosed with AIDS and its still 1986. Wesley gets some questionable information on what AIDS is and how you can catch it from his school yard chums and shuns poor Danny in his moment of need. The Owens'es attempt to inform Wes that he can still be friends with Danny and even wear his old Lincoln costume in the pageant. Wes has a change of heart and he and Danny start crossing items off the old bucket list (grim). Meanwhile Kevin (Rob Stone) is taking home economics in school for the "Easy A" but is failing miserably. We get the standard "gay panic" when he's caught sewing and... baking!! But don't worry - Kevin learns a valuable lesson about housework - or something. Will Wes be forever shunned for hanging with Danny? Will Kevin ever get that pesky meatloaf recipe right? Will Wes get glowing reviews for his performance as Lincoln? The answers to all these questions and more lie within this weeks episode of Very Special Television!
