An interesting take on the custody battle trope! Shame that the TV van lost an argument with the corporal's Tank - spectacularly!
Harm shares a bed with Bud. Mac/Sarah works well with Dalton Lowne. A Marine has a bit of a wobble but all works out well in the end and everyone is happy.
The Marine's grandma, at the end of the final custody hearing, compliments Harm as "you must know how to be a father". Harm's response: "no, but I know how to be a son", hints at the relationship with his stepfather.
Season Three did a good job of expanding upon back-stories and themes for the main cast characters - including Bud's admission that Harriet is soft and warm...
This passed a comfortable 45 minutes and highlights family pressures on serving personnel which are, I suspect, even more intense now in 2021 than when this episode was filmed and broadcast.
Even the TV news crew came out smelling of roses! But how did Bill Mulder end up as a USMC general? Clearly an X-file all of its own.
