Matthew and Rachel 1988--We're Both Survivors, Mom

Out at the Frame farm, Rachel tries to explain what happened in St. Croix to the very upset Matthew, who is having a hard time dealing with the circumstances of his conception, specifically the fact that Rachel slept with Mitch and got pregnant with Matthew without loving Mitch. Rachel says that she killed Janice in self-defense to save herself and Mac, but she will still live with having killed Janice for the rest of her life, and as for sleeping with Mitch, at the moment she didn't think there was any other way for her to save Mac. Matthew tells Rachel that he realizes the problem isn't with her or his father, it's with himself: the person he was all his life, and the person he is now that he knows the truth about his conception. Rachel hates that they've hurt Matthew like this and she'll hate it more if they lose him because of it. Matthew assures Rachel that whoever he is, he will be there, and they hug. "Like mother, like son," Matthew says after they break the hug. "We're both survivors, Mom. I love you."

"I love you," Rachel whispers in reply. Thanks to Eddie for the scenes.

This show had such a rich history. Glad to see they were still making use of it at this point. Ten years after this clip, the show was a shadow of its former self with a plot about a 200 year old time traveler.
