That was a real tear jerker. Stella Stevens is an amazing actress. And the ending was clear instead of leaving many things unresolved like in other episodes.

That was done really well. The scene in the rain where she realizes what communicating is was excellent acting from both of them. The father finally coming to terms with her at the end was heart rending. One of those Bonanza episodes they really did right.

I think that was the hat tip to how Annie Sullivan finally got to Helen Keller by putting her hand in water and spelling W-A-T-E-R!

As someone who has struggled with learning disability all my life, it is a blessing to have someone who had the faith to help and see that every person who has a disability has a chance to improve their circumstance if they receive help and support. For me it was my parents especially my mom. Doctors told her to put me in an institution because I wouldn’t amount to much. She persevered and taught me to trust in the Lord and He’s helped me abundantly. It was hard but I graduated from college with honors, am married and have a family. So don’t give up on loved ones who have special needs. They can be a blessing to you too and teach you about love, perseverance, compassion and to be merciful.

The beautiful Stella Stevens played such a good part in this episode. Whilst she’s still alive, sadly she’s in full-time care suffering from Alzheimer’s.

Albert Salmi perfect for a bad guy, Stella Stevens was a fine actress brilliant in her performance. Thanks Grjngo for sharing this episode Silent thunder.

This episode has me in tears of joy, I've always seen Stella Stevens in a sexy sometimes innocent role, as a beautiful graceful feminine role. This is a first, another first with Bonanza. And again the Father, Ben encouraging the son to finish what he started and bringing the scenario full circle. Very beautiful when a father realizes hope when he didn't see this hope before, and someone else show's him the way. Stella Stevens plays a sexy singer in Elvis Presley's; Girls, Girls, Girls.

At 20:42 the scene is just like the breakthrough moment from The Miracle Worker where Helen Keller's deaf tutor, Anne Sullivan, spells "water" in her hand while pumping water into it. That scene always brings tears, a real 'watershed' moment!

Anne Sullivan wasn't deaf. Anne Sullivan was blind when she was young, but a doctor was able to restore about 90% of her sight through surgery. Also, it was Alexander Graham Bell who taught Helen Keller how to do sign language in Helen's hand. He also taught her how to speak by taking her hand and letting her feel the placement of the tongue and lips during speech. Helen was taught by Anne Sullivan how to write on ridged paper. Helen wrote a letter to her mother when she was 8 years old. She first spoke when she was 10 years old in 1890. Hollywood has a habit of not getting some of the facts about famous people correct.

Personally, I think 🤔 that it’s worth it. The price is just too high 🤑💰for me to pay.

31:45 Wow, if this show wasn't set in the 1800's I'd think that was the runoff water from a nuclear power plant. I can't believe that Ben called what Joe was doing meddling. Just because the man is her father doesn't mean he has the right to deprive her of a most basic aspect of her humanity and keep her like an animal. Since the wrong being done was so serious Joe was not meddling but taking appropriate action.

I couldn't agree more. I'm fond of Ben but he's not always right.

In the history of American television no other western ever topped Bonanza. I also feel, that remakes of old movies never live up to the original movies. For this reason when they tried to revive Bonanza with Michael Landon's son, as Little Joe, the show never had a chance.

@@CathyKitson Well said Happy New Year 🎊 🎉

I really liked this episode and it was good what Little Joe did to help Annie. But, I find it very condesending that Joe said to Ben, "well what do you want me to do, MARRY HER"? What an arrogant attitude towards this woman. I find it quite hypocritical that JOE can go around every town and women he chooses, to steal kisses and rub all up on the women of his choosing. And as soon as a woman tries to show her feelings he acts all high and mighty. Her character was way to good for a man like him anyway. She's got an innocence to her and much more beautiful then MANY of the floosy's he runs with on this show. He was so demeaning to Annie, in the way he shoved her away from him and the way he talked behind her back to BEN. The best thing that could of happened to him would be to get a sweet, good hearted woman like Annie. She's a prettier woman then he is cute for a guy when it comes to looks. Annie had to put up with one trying to rape her and shove her around and another man (Father) slapping her hand with a strap and then Joe shoving her and yelling at her; just for her trying to express her feelings to him. How can he claim she does not love him? HE does NOT know what she feels in her HEART. She tried to show him she indeed DID LOVE him, with a KISS! That's not a friends gesture, that is a LOVE gesture!

You're forgetting the era, the 1850s or 60s. There'd have been little hope for Annie. The only help she could have got long-term would be from a father or husband. Perhaps a brother, but she didn't have one. Joe was trying to be a friend to her. He showed her kindness and affection that she'd never known. He's only quite a young kid himself and he didn't know how to handle it. He knew he'd hurt her and apologised. He was honest to the father about what had happened. He was too honourable to take advantage of her. As for the father, he was ignorant and brutish, not for the strapping, but for treating her like an animal. Albi was just a rapist. You're being very unfair to Joe who was merely trying to help.
