An indigenous people are turned from a life of violence to a more gentle and forgiving nature in this adventure drama based on a true story. Nate Saint (Chad Allen) is a pilot and Christian missionary who, with his family, lives and works in the jungles of South America near the Amazon. Nate is fascinated by tales he's heard of the Waodani, a violent and aggressive tribe living nearby, and with a group of fellow Christians takes it upon himself to teach them the importance of compassion and forgiveness. However, the leader of the Waodanis, Mincayani (Louie Leonardo), does not trust the white visitors, and believes they may have had something to do with the disappearance of a young girl from his tribe years ago. A meeting between Nate and Mincayani goes terribly wrong thanks to Nate's inability to understand the Waodani language, and Nate and four of his fellow missionaries are savagely murdered by the tribesmen. However, in the final moments of his life, Nate is able to impart a message in Mincayani that bears fruit years later when Steve Saint, Nate's son (also played by Allen) returns to continue the work his father started. End of the Spear was adapted from the true story of Nate Saint and Steve Saint, which was previously brought to the screen in the documentary Beyond the Gates of Splendor. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Though telecast back-to-back with "Baby Face" on July 21, 2004, this episode was originally intended as The Drew Carey Show's ninth-season opener on June 2 of that year. With his marriage to Lily over virtually before it has begun, Drew nonetheless goes off on his Mexican honeymoon, mainly mull over his relationship with Kellie. So that the occasion won't be a total loss, Oswald (Diedrich Bader) and Lewis (Ryan Stiles) head South of the Border as well. After checking into Drew's hotel, Lewis falls in love with a girl named Carmelita (Iyari Limon), unaware that she's a hooker. Also: the viewer finally gets to see what caused the untimely demise of Drew's dad George (Stanley Anderson), an event alluded to in several previous episodes--all telecast wildly out of sequence. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
