Since the release of this episode of Highway to Heaven, with the increase in the numbers of the American senior population, more families face having to decide whether to provide living arrangements for their seniors in their home or seek outside assisted living. In this episode's scenario, the Husband wants to keep his Father in the home and the Wife doesn't, while citing her increased family burdens. The path to the resolution of this dilemma and the solution itself were surprising and improbable. If it were my call, I would insist that the solution be more comprehensive and that the script be rewritten into 2 parts.

Warning: Spoilers
I detest that the evil, selfish wife got off the hook,even if I love why.
There's a book that tells us what the right things are in enough of life's scenarios to help guide us in the ones not covered: the Bible, the Word of God.
Unless a person needs near constant medical care or is a danger to themselves or others, throwing them away, aka putting them in an institution, is wrong.
The wife in this episode was the epitome of selfishness, caring only about her wants & how she was inconvenienced, instead about being a good wife, daughter & example to her son. If this was real life, I'd hope her son would so easily throw her out as she did his grandfather when she became an inconvenience. Imagine if parents threw away their children when they realized how much work & attention children require & how much they inconvenience us from our personal desires & pursuits?
Oh, wait, parents have started doing that, not surprising after watching their parents throw away their grandparents.
