Highway To Heaven S1 E7 One Fresh Batch Of Lemonaid Part2

One Fresh Batch of Lemonade (2)

First aired: 10/31/1984

One day, while showing off for some friends by riding his motorcycle in a wreckless manner, a car comes around a
blind corner from the opposite direction and is not able to swerve out of the way in time to avoid hitting Deke. The
next time we see the young man, he is in the hospital where both of his legs have had to be amputated below the
knee. Feeling bitter and resentful toward everyone, Deke drives away everyone who tries to visit with him. He seems
intent on simply sulking and bemoaning his fate until the day he dies. Fortunately, this is where Jonathan steps in to
help. He has taken the job of physical therapist at the hospital, but it's easy to see that it's really Deke's mental and
emotional state that he's there to work on. With the willing help of a quadriplegic patient named Scotty, a shy fellow
student named Eleanor, and a young gymnast who is the boy who crippled Deke, Jonathan sets out to restore
Deke's faith in himself.

There is a side plot about Deke's father, who raised the boy from the cradle to be the star athlete that he never was,
and who now wants to give up on him thinking that there's nothing left. Naturally, the man comes to his senses by
the end of the show, after seeing Deke beat the odds to such a degree that he actually participates in a high school
gymnastics competition. Big hug, happy ending, fade to triumphant overcoming-the-odds music.

@dars2607 Eleanor is the type of girl every boy in high school should pay attention to. She may not have that cheerleader glitz, but she is smart and pretty.
