Changes, part 5

"Changes, part 5" is the 21st episode in the second season of Punky Brewster.

Summary
Henry meets with Oliver Green (Earl Boen) about getting a bank loan to open a new photography studio in the Midtown Mall. Henry's request is initially denied due to having no credit history, but when he mentions he is trying to regain custody of Punky, Oliver recalls how she had asked him for a loan once, and decides to offer Henry a personal loan. Meanwhile, Tiffany has bought a castle on the French Riviera, and plans for Punky, Jules, and herself to move there. This leaves Punky in shock, just as she was about to share good news concerning Henry and his new studio. She pleas with the Buckworths to let her return to Henry, but Tiffany stubbornly refuses. As the arguing proceeds, an all-too-familiar speech Tiffany makes to Punky—the same one Jules remembers from their wedding night—angers Jules, compelling him to stand up to Tiffany and leave her. He also brings Punky back to Henry, as she requested, and she feels at home again. Sometime later, while Henry and Punky are out taking care of the adoption paperwork, Mike fills in at the new studio. He receives a phone call from Chillings, who offers his congratulations to Henry and Punky. Chillings also informs Mike that he has resigned from the DCFS, and has become the new man in Tiffany Buckworth's life. Once Henry and Punky return from the adoption proceedings, with Betty and Cherie, they all celebrate in the studio.
