Mike's Choice is episode 1 of Season 6 of Growing Pains.
Summary[]
When he lands a part in an off-Broadway play, Mike decides to drop out of college to pursue an acting career. But Jason will have none of it: Mike need not follow in Jason's footsteps, but the agreement was that Jason would fund his education to get the skills for a stable career. Jason warns that Mike is on his own with acting, to which Mike says is fine. He is then shown at rehearsal in bed with a pretty actress (playing her husband) and thinks he has found the easy road to a stable financial future, not to mention fame and soon he will be the one offering financial support to his parents. Meanwhile, Carol is upset that the Jason-Mike crisis has taken all attention away from her own problems.
