In this special two-hour episode, a fire at the blind school claims the lives of both Mary's baby and the wife of farmer Jonathan Garvey (Merlin Olsen). In the aftermath of the tragedy, Mary (
Melissa Sue Anderson) goes into a state of shock and Jonathan angrily rails against God. The only person who can set things right is Mary's adoptive brother, Albert (
Matthew Laborteaux) -- but he is also the person who accidentally started the fire. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
