I'm an old Carl Kolchak fan. Anything with Darren in it is a treat! I didn't even recognize him at first. It wasn't till he started talking that I knew who he was. It's because of his role in the Night Stalker series, which I used to watch with my Dad in the 70's, that I first ever imagined carrying a recorder with me everywhere I go, which I do to this day, for over 25 years now!
This was a touching little episode where they made Monica elderly so she could better gain the trust of George, who didn't believe anyone younger than he could properly appreciate someone at his stage in life. He ultimately fell in love with her, and she had feelings for him as well, so much so that her elderly heart was pained when she had to tell him that she couldn't be with him because she was an angel.
After a lot of truths came out from George and other characters that day, it was time for Monica to leave. She met him one last time on the park bench where they first met.
In the end, when he kissed her hand as if to say farewell forever, and Monica herself was sad after having been touched by his affection, something happened that I have not seen in this series before. She disappeared while he was still holding her hand and he looked around in disbelief, only to see the white dove flying away. What a moment!!!! Like waking from a dream!
This show keeps on amazing!!!
