Featured review
Very important episode
Should be required viewing for anybody to show there's real power in everything you say and do. Lot of people might debate that to get as far as Laurie has that there must've been some trouble going on in her head and the poisonous words and attitudes from her grandmother was like rubbing salt in the wound and making an already sick girl into an even sicker girl. I wish the episode had lasted a bit longer to show the father jumping on the grandmother for the stuff she's done to Laurie. She made her granddaughter sick and that's not love.
So let's get to the episode. Joe's together with Laurie at the beginning of the episode. She's been living with her grandmother back east while she was attending school. This was an arrangement that came about after Laurie's mom passed away. Well, Joe gets the shock of his life that Laurie starts screaming her head off and acting like Joe had attacked her. I feel for the father in this case. There might be people saying 'You really think Joe would attack your daughter? How long have you known him?' But the other person in this case is your daughter. Of course he believes his daughter and begins to act cold against the Cartwrights.
Laurie tries to come onto another man and when he responds favorably, she flips out on him as well. Another man comes into Laurie and she ends up shooting (not killing) him. Well, the end shows Laurie flipping out on her own dad. She's making all kinds of accusations against him. Making it sound like he was cheating on Laurie's mom while she was sick/dying.
Joe shows up and at least prevents the dad from being shot/killed. Laurie begins to plead for Joe to help her but he refers her to her father. Can I blame him? Not really.
Lot of people might wonder 'How did you not know this was happening to your daughter?' Weren't there visits all this time or even writing letters and you get a vague feeling something's off? I'm not going down that road because I know that this stuff is basically on par with flicking a light switch. You're not the one flicking the switch. Nobody chooses to be troubled. 'I think I'll just flip out today. *giggles*' No choice in the matter. The offness might have not been around for a letter being written or if there were any visits. And I absolutely must praise Lynn Loring's performances. She did an excellent job with the flip out scenes and with the scene where she sees something's wrong and is pleading for help. Lynn truly was a great actress. I've seen her in a couple of Alfred Hitchcock episodes and thought she was terrific on those episodes as well.
