This episode of Highway to Heaven reunites star-writer Michael Landon with his former Little House on the Prairie co-star Matthew Laborteaux. Be that as it may, the episode's emphasis is on guest performer Lew Ayres, cast as elderly widower Harry Haynes. Placed in a retirement home by his daughter-in-law, Harry has all but given up the will to live. It will take the divine intervention of angel Jonathan Smith (Michael Landon) -- with a little help from the old man's grandson (Matthew Laborteaux) -- to convince Harry to give life a second chance.
