When Farkle and Riley dislike what their school yearbook says about them, they decide to change their personalities. Farkle, who is popular enough to have his own category in the yearbook, carries on as a regular guy named Donnie Barnes, while Riley assumes a morose alter-ego named Morosha M. Black after she notices in the yearbook that Maya and Lucas are named "favorite couple". Riley's change deeply affects Maya, who in turn seeks to become her best friend and emulate her. Lucas is not pleased about these changes in his friends, who are letting what others say affect them, and he wants them to change back. Cory's history lesson about Iceland and Greenland, and how people settled in Greenland because of its name, then perished, serves as a reminder to the class not to be misguided by what others say. Guest star: Cheryl Texiera as Katy Hart Absent: August Maturo as Auggie Matthews | |||||||

Results of a school IQ test show Farkle to be a genius, and the Minkuses hold a party for their son at Topanga's. Isadora Smackle comes to the party and invites Farkle to transfer to Einstein Academy. Later, additional tests identify that Farkle may have Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism. Though in disbelief at first, Riley, Maya and Lucas help their friend understand the symptoms, one of which is a difficulty understanding love. Farkle tries to explore that by hanging out with Smackle, who shows compassion when he tells her he may have Asperger's. Smackle later decides to observe Farkle in Cory's class, and after Farkle confirms he does not have Asperger's, she feels uncomfortable but realizes he belongs around his friends rather than at Einstein Academy. Seeing how Smackle interacts with everyone, including how she feels being hugged, Riley and Maya deduce she has Asperger's, and Smackle tells them she was diagnosed with it at the age of five. Farkle shows the same compassion Smackle showed him after discovering this. Guest stars: Lee Norris as Minkus, Kristanna Loken as Jennifer Bassett Minkus, Cecilia Balagot as Smackle, Cyrina Fiallo as Ms. Oben Absent: August Maturo as Auggie Matthews | |||||||

Riley wonders how she will positively impact the world, and feels she will never be as "perfect" as her parents. In exploring this question, she and Maya talk to a nun at an orphanage and a clown at the circus, but Riley is reminded about being in her parents' shadow when she sees them contributing at those places. Maya suggests Riley tell some stories she remembers about her parents when they were younger, and the two see Cory and Topanga at their age. As Riley sees a little of both of her parents in her, and their quirks, she is reminded by the younger Topanga that she is unique. Meanwhile, Lucas helps Farkle try to become an athlete, and while Farkle does not master any of the sports Lucas shows him, he realizes he is part of a team that will help him. Guest stars: Ken Hudson Campbell as Jingles the Clown, Diona Reasonover as Sister Mary Beth | |||||||
