Set in San Francisco, the show chronicles widower father Danny Tanner, who, after the death of his wife Pam, enlisted his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis and his best friend Joey Gladstone to help raise his three daughters, D. J., Stephanie, and Michelle. In this season, Danny and Rebecca's talk show takes a spike in popularity, meanwhile Jesse and Rebecca continue dating while Jesse prepares to leave his rebellious ways in the past.

J. starts seventh grade and her first year of junior high, Stephanie enters the second grade, and Michelle gets her first bed and starts preschool.
