Featured review
Ralph Bellamy gets a 10/10
The basis of the Jenny part of this story is astonishing because it essentially already happened at the start of the season! How could they let an almost identical scene and storyline happen? AND the mysterious premise of Marvin having also been a doctor in Walnut Grove with Dr. Baker throughout the entire series is also lazy writing. HOWEVER, once you get past those blips and focus on the Marvin storyline - that Jenny is a part of - the episode seems to have been written to showcase Ralph Bellamy. Perhaps that's why they say "screw basic and blatant continuity" (yet again) and process. This classic actor is so good and, if we can call this episode a showcase for him, then it's worth watching just for Bellamy as Dr. Marvin.
