Mike the Director is episode 23 of Season 5 of Growing Pains.
Summary[]
On the verge of graduating drama school, Mike is required to direct a stage scene. After a considerable struggle, Mike beats out the other students in securing the services of Courtney Preston, one of the school's most experienced actresses. Although Courtney turns out to be pretty terrible in the scene, the rest of the cast applauds the girl's "brilliance". Wondering if he can trust his own judgement, Mike experiences a rare (and extremely discomforting) moment of introspection.
