Story of Pollyanna, Girl of Love

A Horrible Prognosis (1x21)

: 25, 1986

Jimmy lashing out his very understandable anguish and apprehension unto the motorist for his carelessness sets the stage for Pollyanna to recover herself to her feet with the injured bird safe and sound in her arms oblivious to the scope of her injuries; nevertheless, the consensus between the two kids is that there is wisdom in aborting the trip to the orphanage in order to repair the damage to both the bird and Pollyanna -- the latter of which has a damaged power-train that requires the astonished Tom to transport her back to Harrington-ke. Polly is beside herself with guilt when Tom and Mrs. Durgin bring in Pollyanna but is calm enough to have immediately summoned Dr. Warren who decides for placing Pollyanna under sedated observation; galvanized by Tom's gratitude for Pollyanna's safe return complete with advice to not assume the worst, Jimmy prosecutes his home commute with the injured bird. Unable to do anything to help her infirm niece, Polly laments at her situational helplessness during the observation period meant to appraise the scope of Pollyanna's injuries; as previously demonstrated, the damage to Pollyanna's power-train is no dream and requires repair techniques beyond both practitioner capability and medical technology. A door carelessly left ajar for Chipmunk's convenience becomes the ironic vehicle for Pollyanna to ultimately learn the raw truth from Polly's hysterics over the imported medical perspective of Dr. Mead; even with Nancy's swift response, Pollyanna has nobody to help her when and how she needs it the most!!!
