I just watched this episode... I loved it. I really liked how Laura cared so much for Mr. Pike. She didn't want to see him live his life closed into his
house all of the time. My favorite part was towards the end when she left the Bible for him to read. He took it in and read the bookmarked section over and over again. The scene where he explained what reading that section of the Bible did for him was powerful... it was great to see that he finally got over his wife's death, and was able to move on with the hope of seeing her again in Heaven.
Of course, the ending scene where Laura tells Nellie and Willie that Mr. Pike said he wanted to see them was very funny!
One of my favorite episodes!
