synopsis
Maggie (Joanna Kerns) is a bit surprised when her dad Ed (Gordon Jump) shows up on the spur of the moment. Alas, the reason for Ed's visit is that he has some bad news for the family: the doctor has given him only a short time to live. Hoping to make the best of what time they have left, Ed and Maggie decide to go off together on a fishing trip--but tragically, things don't go according to schedule. This very special episode features a poignant flashback sequence, with Alexis Greig and Larry Marks respectively cast as the younger versions of Maggie and Ed.
