Guest star James Troesch and his wife, Theresa Troesch, co-wrote the script for this episode in which he recreates his characterization of Scotty, an ebullient young quadriplegic who was introduced in the previous two-part episode "One Fresh Batch of Lemonade." This time around, Scotty has become depressed, convinced that no girl could ever love him because of his handicap. Probationary angel Jonathan Smith (Michael Landon) sets about to pull Scotty out of his funk by fixing the boy up with Diane Gordon (Margaret Impert), the attractive cousin of fellow angel Mark Gordon (Victor French). ~ Rovi

In the conclusion of a two-part story, Jonathan (Michael Landon) assumes the earthly form of a physical therapist to help a promising young baseball player named Deke (Ken Olandt), who has been injured in a traffic accident, come to grips with the fact that he will never play pro ball -- and also prove to Deke that he is perfectly capable of participating in other forms of athletic competition. In this pursuit, Jonathan enlists the aid of Richard Halberstrom (played by Olympic gold-medal winner Bart Conner), the gymnast who was responsible for Deke's current plight. And in another development, Jonathan and his sidekick Mark (Victor French) endeavor to console Deke's father (Jim Haynie), who has been living vicariously through his son's athletic achievements. ~ Rovi
