Summary What begins as a humorous escapade with a motorcycle turns into a tragic vigil for the Cunninghams and their friends. Richie purchases a motorcycle from Fonzie, but Howard angrily refuses to let him keep it, leading to a deliberately petulant tantrum from Richie to embarrass his father. But Fonzie convinces Howard that the bike is safe and Richie wears proper safety gear, so Howard reluctantly relents. Richie takes Lori Beth along one day while Fonzie is out and Chachi is repairing a truck rented by Al Potsie, and Ralph. The group is ecstatic when Chachi gets the truck running, but then an injured Lori Beth runs into the garage begging for help: she and Richie have been in a horrible crash. At the hospital the doctor can only tell Howard and Marion that Richie was fortunate to have been wearing his helmet, but he might never regain consciousness. The family returns home to their friends (Leather offers a touching song to comfort everyone). Late that night Fonzie goes to the hospital, where the sight of unconscious Richie so horrifies him that he utters a rambling prayer to God...and finally breaks down in tears at the possible death of his friend. He keeps a beside vigil, and Richie eventually awakens. He makes a full recovery, quickly becoming his old self, and Fonzie thanks God for pulling his friend through.
