Mandie returns to her childhood home to find out what has happened to her father's house. Mandie is growing up, but she still doesn't seem to have learned the lesson to think before she speaks (despite her Uncle Ned telling her this time and again.) I was also disturbed that although Dr. Woodard knows Mandie might have been exposed to measles, he seems willing to let her travel with Uncle Ned back to Asheville, NC (at least a day's journey) instead of quarantining her.
