I often forget the names of episodes I really liked, and these selections usually turn out to be among my favorites. This one is reminiscent of the recent selection, \"The Only Blood,\" in that we have an immigrant father bent on revenge against a mob boss that was responsible for killing his son. In both morality plays, the father\'s rage and thirst for vengeance succumb to their strength of character. Here we have a hero that, through his example, turns the son of the mob boss into a replacement for his own son among the good guys, while the mob boss, in effect, is robbed of his own son. \"Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord\" is what the concerned wife told her husband, and it came to pass that he achieved his \"revenge\" in a positive, rather than destructive way. I enjoyed it immensely and gave it a \"4.\"

Of course, in these hour-long plays there are always flaws, particularly heard in these modern days of realism. But surface questions of fact are not as compelling as the symbolism throughout. I especially liked the garden that the old man restored to natural vigor at the estate of the mob boss, a defining symbol that convinced the son to reconstitute his own life.

Very enjoyable, nice choice.<br>
