Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaActress Pamelyn Ferdin recently revealed that the scene where Dana threatens to jump caused a minor traffic accident along Los Feliz Boulevard and also drew a crowd of horrified onlookers unaware that a TV show was being filmed. Pamelyn was standing on a wobbly glass table, and her only protection was a production assistant holding her by the ankles. The scene violated Standards & Practices of the day, which prohibited the realistic portrayal of a minor in mortal peril, and CBS held up the episode until the footage could be reviewed. In the end, the network decided that the scene would be acceptable to the show's mature audience. Pamelyn says that the scene's inclusion gave her "the groundbreaking distinction of playing the first child staring down death on prime-time TV."

- Quotes
Joe Mannix: Do you know why she has the idea she can fly?
Dr. Barbara Harley: Oh, yes, it's from Peter Pan. Her mother told her the story before she became withdrawn. Peter and Wendy and Captain Hook have become almost her whole world.

Featured review
I will take 10 "Dana's" over any of the ditzes from other episodes
I made another review on another episode and vented about how irritating I find the writing to be for episodes that involve a character being a ditz, flake, etc. Again, my slams aren't towards the actresses or actors. You get handed a script and you do it.
I realize this is a divided opinion when it concerns this episode. My mom and I have watched this episode together and Dana irritated my mom beyond belief and her review of the episode would echo the reviews that are saying they hated the episode. My mom is also somebody that wanted to see Dana "fly away" because she got on her nerves that much.
I like the episode. I thought it was an interesting storyline and the pacing was pretty good. I'm not knocking the series but there's some episodes that are very slow. You think it's been on for 45 minutes already, turn around and look at the clock and it hasn't even been 20 minutes. This episode was one that got you so hooked that it surprises you to look at the clock and see the show's almost off.
My mom and I have also gotten into discussions involving child stars. Dawn Lyn was the inspiration behind that conversation. Mom couldn't stand her in anything she'd been in while I was giving credit where it's due. Pamelyn Ferdin was able to handle the material. Dana wasn't supposed to be mentally challenged. She had went through stuff in her life and she'd basically withdrawn into her own little world. She had a LOT of scenes and dialogue to get through and she nailed it. So in terms of Pamelyn Ferdin or Dawn Lyn, it must truly have been a blessing for people doing shows that worked around child stars and trusting that you have children that will be able to do the material, even if it's a lot of it.
