Divorce Anderson Style

"Divorce Anderson Style" is the fourth episode in the third season of Punky Brewster.

Summary
Allen has been coming to Punky's house an awful lot lately, staying for meals and almost entire days. The reason is that Allen is terrified that his parents Andy (Greg Norberg) and Annie (Margaret Willock) are going to get a divorce, because Andy and Annie have been arguing a lot lately, more than usual. Punky and Henry decide to have a barbecue as a way to figure out the situation. Things go normally for a while, but Allen states that they're only bluffing. Sure enough, things devolve into an argument between Andy and Annie, Henry explained to them that Allen was afraid that they were gonna get divorced. But Andy and Annie told Henry that yesterday they have been planning to get a divorce. Everyone was shocked even for Allen who was devastated, and Punky finds him living in the tree house the next day. Allen says he's never leaving the tree house, and Punky is shocked by the reason why—Allen has to move to Kansas with Annie. Henry comes outside and tells Allen that Annie is looking for him. Punky and the gang say a tearful goodbye to Allen, and Punky tells Allen that she and the gang will always be Allen's friends, and that they will always stay in touch with him.
