Broke

This is a wonderful and powerful episode of the show, showing the continued decline of the Mary character.

Engaging and well performed, this was excellent.

My favorite

I have decided that "Broke" is my all-time favorite episode of the 7th Heaven series, even though I have not yet seen every one from all seasons. This installment was well-groomed by the weeks immediately preceding it and it is ironic that the problematic intensity involved is a main reason for its entertainment and enjoyment. After Mary is sent away to live with her grandparents in the next one, the series was not as interesting as it delivers in this well-directed, well-acted special treat of a gem which I find to be more appealing than many episodes of other TV shows as well..

From the attempted financial stranglehold of the collection lady with "Bernie the Attorney" for the defense to the parents little by little throughout the course of the day finding out more and more about the situation which creates a strong bond between them which thankfully proves to be much more important than their episode-opening argument, "Broke" is one of the best. I have watched it repeatedly and sometimes cannot get enough of it.

Check it out if you have not seen it. Despite the problematic issues within the plot, it is logical, full of insight, and at times quite funny too. This review is way overdue. Should have dropped a note many years ago. Thanks.
