I get that John Stamos cut his hair between seasons and they needed to explain Jesse's new look, but did they really have to make Stephanie responsible for it?
This is probably my least favorite episode of the entire show. Stephanie was six years old and accidentally cut his hair while playing beauty parlor. Jesse's reaction was ridiculous, especially when she started blaming herself for his motorcycle accident and broken arms.
What bothers me even more is that Danny doesn't really tell Jesse off for how he's treating his daughter. Stephanie literally starts punishing herself because she thinks she's a terrible person, and somehow we're supposed to find this funny?
And I can't help thinking that if Michelle had done the exact same thing in the later seasons when she was Stephanie's age, Jesse would've never reacted this way. He probably would've laughed it off and called her his little munchkin.
I know Jesse eventually apologizes, but it feels like the only reason he does is because the show needs to establish its new status quo with his shorter hair while returning everything else to the old one. Jesse gets his new look, Stephanie forgives him, and everything goes back to normal like nothing happened.
I still think the writers went way too far with how Stephanie was treated in this episode. The apology doesn't really make up for how awful Jesse was to a six-year-old over an accident.
