Lol pretty sure i hated this episode the very first time i saw it! Well, WHO could pass up a chance to be with the V?? The MAN imho! Years later now i've seen it lots - every time it's been available on TV or youtube etc. The more i've watched, the more i've appreciated it. Prolly "i" needed to grow up quite a bit to really "get it"? First i had to get OVER my sincere belief the the Virginian was the most handsome, sexy, smart, sarcastically funny MAN that OF COURSE every woman would prefer! (tbh i still have to remind myself every time at the end of the episode!) Also learned how great it can feel to be needed. Pretty sure that's not a joy that only women can experience. Especially since the love was already there. And as Maggie finally told the V, "you don't need ANYONE!" Always felt if you really love someone certainly you "need" them, their love and support etc. ... if you don't feel needed though? I think EVERYONE needs to be needed. Maybe i'm reviewing only now bc i kind of have an example to share. My husband and i were/are🤞🏻that icky couple who were always in love. Now (again) he's battling cancer. I always loved him more than anything but now he absolutely NEEDS ME. I dunno but it makes me love him even more and then i need him even more and it gets even deeper & more intense ... LISTEN, i said i had an "example" not an "explanation"! Well i guess ultimately that's what earned my 10/10? This episode ended up helping me to understand myself! And imo soo well acted at all levels! They made me care about them all! And hope for the best! To me, that's a perfect 10/10!
