- Quotes
Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] In the fall of 1941 the war raging in Europe still seemed remote to most people on Waltons Mountain. But its horrors were growing every day. Occasionally someone would bring the war home to our family by touching our lives in a personal and disturbing way.

Featured review
An intense episode
I must disagree with the writer of the one other review for this episode. I see it as an intensely vivid portrait of a very troubled man, obviously suffering from what we now call PTSD. Perhaps it's true that none of the regular characters were "advanced" as the other reviewer put it, but this episode wasn't really about them; it was about Derek, and the horrors of war. Jared Martin gave a strong performance and Mary McDonough was excellent in support of his storyline. As for the secondary story about Grandma's bird, well, there needed to be some occasional relief in the episode, and that was as good as anything else might have been.
