This episode is amazing. If you're looking for a feel good episode, this is it.

This episode of Highway to Heaven was so good and so emotional. My husband and I started crying almost from the very beginning, when Arnie was making a wish that somebody would love him...gosh. And I cried many times through this episode. It was truly touching, and the ending was so happy.

Although I really loved this episode, I only gave it 9 stars and not 10 because I feel this one would have actually been better as a two part episode. Certain aspects of the story felt rushed and were left unexplained. For example, it was never explained at all why Laura Payne left her husband - nor why they got back together in the end. It was insinuated that they realized they were hurting their son, but we are not told that. So much more could have been added to the story there.

I really liked the characters in this episode, Arnie especially, who is just so darn lovable. I would have really enjoyed learning more about these characters and seeing more of their stories. I would much rather have had this one be a two-parter and not the previous episode about Scotty, since we have already seen quite a bit of that character.

Still, this was a good one. 80s tv was just so good, cheesy, and wholesome. Just love it.
