Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

The Past Explained (1x49)

Air date: Dec 14, 1986

Fortunately for all involved parties, the remainder of the summer vacation goes off without a hitch bigger than a fish escaping Pollyanna and Sadie's attempts to subdue it much to their disappointment; what the four kids do not realize is that there is a gathering storm over the horizon along with the end of their summer vacation when Ruth is pondering her perspective of Jimmy being her nephew Jaime Kent before Della points out the necessity of further analysis because of the messy potential consequences. Pollyanna arrives to deliver Ruth and Della a basket of roses but ends blurting out what Jimmy explained her about his prologue that matches the report that Ruth had gotten earlier; in spite of Della's injunction about the necessity of having evidence, Ruth's certainty about Jimmy being her nephew and all the data she has about her prologue with Jimmy both forcefully combine to drive home to the distraught Pollyanna what a huge error she just made and sends Pollyanna searching for her aunt. The envelope containing the ultimate deux ex machina that could solve all this has the injunction that it is to remain unopened until Jimmy has completed three life-decades; even if John Pendleton is doing the right thing by opening the envelope in defiance of the injunction against it, the epilogue of coming above-ground could end up far messier than simply continuing to keep the truth below-ground!!!
