Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

The Angel in the Alley (1x36)

Air date: Sep 14, 1986

Suzy and Mary comparing notes with Bridget back at Carew-ke about Pollyanna dropping the bomb about having possibly found Jaime and what it would mean if she were spot on obfuscates the brown-out that Ruth experiences upon Mickey showing her the tenement building where he resides with both his mother and James; while being guided upstairs toward Mickey's apartment, Ruth has it driven home just how dilapidated the building has become and becomes anguished at the prospect of her nephew Jaime having to reside in such a dangerous building. James and Governess Murphy are delighted at Pollyanna's visit as Ruth searches around for any data that confirms whether James is really her long-lost nephew; while she is unable to find any relevant data or to get Murphy-ke to accept her hand up, Ruth does decide to take a firmer stance in forcing Henry Dodge to better maintain all of the residential buildings owned by Carew-ke. Ruth cracking down on Henry Dodge's indolence is ultimately not enough of a consolation prize for Pollyanna as she then decides to entreat that James be given the option to be housed within Carew-ke since there is no decisive evidence against the equivalency; after hearing out Pollyanna's entreaties, Ruth secludes herself in her office to make a very difficult decision.
