Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

The Mystery of Jaime Kent (1x46)

Air date: Nov 23, 1986

Jimmy's efforts to impart a jolt of insight to old Tom's caboose before making a hasty retreat bore a bountiful harvest in the form of Pollyanna in seventh heaven as she and James accompany Tom to the wilted rose garden to repair the damage which gets off to a running start when Pollyanna and James insist upon catalyzing Tom's repair efforts; in spite of Pollyanna having it driven home through a comical pratfall that her optimism is no substitute for a power-train that simply lacks potency enough to haul a wheelbarrow, she and James are a potent force in catalyzing Tom's rehabilitation efforts. Ruth's delight at James's gardening complete with divulging her curriculum to have James undergo an operation to restore his power-train similar to Pollyanna's does not make up for Polly continuing to Dr. Chilton in seclusion oblivious to all the goings-on of life; not liking the epilogue of this dynamic, Ruth decides that a sympathetic session of girl talk is in order. What Pollyanna is anguished to learn is that there are times when success has consequences that are ultimately worse than those of failure; if Ruth locates her nephew Jaime Kent, there is a real possibility that James will indefinitely remain stuck with a defunct power-train -- a prospect that gets a huge shot in the arm when Mr. Pendleton drags Jimmy along in his bid to court Ruth!!!
