Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

I Can't Find Something To Be Glad About! (1x23)

Air date: Jun 08, 1986

Polly has no time for anguish over her niece's repulsion of her overture before having it explained that John Pendleton has paid her a visit for the first time in a decade to confirm for himself what he has had explained to him about Pollyanna never again walking; while Polly and the Miser are working out their differences, Tom explains Nancy and Timothy the data he has about their collaborative prologue which yields insight to his harsh objurgation of Nancy's earlier speculation. The net results of this engagement is that Mr. Pendleton has decided to resolve things with Polly and become Jimmy's family government much to Pollyanna's delight even as Mr. Pendleton is finding the task of convincing Jimmy to see this as being for Pollyanna's sake far easier conversed than conducted!!! Unfortunately for the despondent Pollyanna, this bit of vicarious good news is not enough to conquer the software problem nullifying the utility of Pollyanna's damaged power-train; in a bid to revise the apparent dystopian epilogue, the entire town of Beldingsville converges on Harrington-ke to explain the effect of Pollyanna's glad game on their daily lives. Polly is in for quite a shock when she has chosen to isolate herself from being the first to learn the glad game and ultimately holds the key to extinguishing the software problem inhibiting the repair of her niece's damaged power-train; upon realizing this, Polly makes real progress in solving her own long-standing software problems regarding the premature death of her sister Jennie and her misguided hatred of John Whittier.
