By that same token, the Girl Meets World kids already had the perfect place to conduct their muffin experiment: the mom-and-pop bakery at which the Matthews are literally part-owners. Among other things, the main reason that episode worked was because they were at an actual company. I'm reminded of a Boy Meets World episode called "How to Succeed in Business," in which Cory and Shawn took work-study jobs in a mailroom, and Shawn climbed his way up the corporate ladder while Cory floundered to catch up. In truth, this episode would have worked a lot better in a real-world setting. As a class project, it felt a little out-of-place, especially since Cory had little to teach on the subject and his students, aside from the core four, were reduced to mindless addicts hooked on Farkle's sugar-mold "muffins." As weekly storylines go, "Girl Meets Crazy Hat" was a bit dull, as the kids' social experiment quickly turned into a critique on corporate business, complete with Farkle as a money-grubbing CEO. In typical Meets World fashion, the other students had basically zero input, acting as "employees" (read: consumers). social studies? Anyway, the basic idea was that the students would start up competing muffin companies: Riley & Farkle Muffins and Hart & Friar Muffins. In fact, strangely, Cory's latest assignment wasn't history-based at all - more like. Thus began an odd storyline that had nothing to do with Cory's history lesson on Belgium in 1831. Following an overlong exchange with Crazy Hat and one Officer Copper (see the below video for reference), Riley began worrying about her own future again and whether she would also become a homeless, "crazy hat" lady. This week's Girl Meets World saw the return of guest star Jackée Harry from the pilot, only this time her character Estelle was retconned as "Crazy Hat," who - surprise! - always wears a crazy hat.
