At the beginning of the episode, Anne goes down the river alone to portray Lady Elaine from the legend of King Arthur, in a dramatic and romantic way. However, the boat begins to take on water, and the girl, who can't swim, clings to one of the bridge posts. At the last moment, just as Anne is about to slip and fall into the water, Gilbert Blythe appears to save her and proposes that they become friends and put the past behind them. However, the protagonist cannot forgive him and continues to not speak to him.
After the incident, two things upset Anne. She reflects on her response to Gilbert and concludes that it was unnecessarily rude. Furthermore, the protagonist feels sad about having broken Diana's father's boat and tells her friends that everything she does causes problems for the precious people in her life. Despite this, Anne rethinks the mistakes she's made since arriving at Green Gables and realizes that, despite the flaws, the lessons learned from them are also important. It's no coincidence that the episode's title is "I'm Always Making Mistakes, But Every Time I Do, I Fix Something in Myself."
The protagonist discovers her purpose
Professor Stacy creates a study group to prepare Avonlea School students for the Queen's Academy entrance exam and invites Anne to join. Anne is thrilled. However, she worries about the money, as Queen's Academy requires tuition. Marilla, noticing the girl's uneasiness, reassures her not to worry, as she and Matthew will support her if Anne decides to take the exam.
One of the narrative's strengths, besides witnessing Anne's growth, is the relationship she gradually builds with her family. Initially, Matthew and Marilla wanted to adopt a boy to help them with their chores, but with Anne, they discovered the true meaning of caring for, loving, and supporting another person. The girl was like a light at the end of the tunnel for two adults who no longer seemed to see the bright side of life.
Besides her adoptive parents, Anne has another role model in her life. Miss Stacy, who captivated her from the start, plays an important role in the protagonist's choices. In one of her classes, the teacher encourages the students to find a purpose, but Anne can't think of anything grand to call a "purpose in life." However, after a moving scene involving the teacher and the students, the girl decides that when she grows up, she wants to be a teacher.

At the end of the episode, Matthew appears to suffer a heart attack. Anne and Marilla are extremely concerned about what happened.
