OMG! That episode was really great! It had one of those endings that could end 50/50 on how it could end. I was hoping it didn't end the way it did but something told me it would. Tru did help the guy, he got to see his love one more time and see that if he did die, he would continue on living. Still that episode, I was okay until they started playing Sarah Mac's song! : yikes : 🙁
Overall, it once again surprised me a lot. Looking forward to next week's episode. It just seems this show gets better and better, each episode outdoing the one before it.

I loved this episode, it was so sad when he died, at least he got to see his love one last time, and he got to find out he had a son... I cried when he died.. it was so sad... I love the song "Angel" I thought it was perfect for this ep... It was prolly one of the greatest so far..

I thought it was the best ep from this season too. Even though he died in the end I still thought it was a good ending.

I wouldn't say its the "best" one so far. But it was definetly a GOOD episode! There were one or two episodes prior that I liked more. But I must say, when the doctor came out into the waiting room and said something like "we all knew there was a great risk" at the end...there were some tears😛

This is one of my favorite plots -- kids separated by his/her parents, an unplanned pregnancy that he doesn't find out about, and a death when it's almost too late.
And they did it well -- I almost cried until MacLachlan's Angel started playing and I started having Buffy/Angel flashbacks.
However, there was nothing new or original about it. He was a soldier, which was supposed to make it timely. His eventual death of a wound received in battle was, I suppose, an attempt at a statement (although Sherman's "War is hell" is still my favorite).
Over-protective papa wanting better for his progeny. This works really well in historicals, because it's really hard to completely cut off communication lines like that these days. So, the future Rhodes Scholar doesn't have an email addy where she can be reached by a determined military man? He can't send her a certified letter, for her hands only? He never once had access to a satellite phone? And papa actually moved because his daughter got knocked up and he didn't want anyone to know. How . . . Victorian. Or at least early to mid twentieth century. By moving, he went to a lot of expense to avoid this guy.
And, of course, because this is "real life" and not a romance novel, "Soldier Boy" dies in the end. And because it is television and not real life, he does it to the strains of Sarah MacLachlan. I wonder if he'll haunt her because she didn't promise him that she would move on.
I get why she didn't. She was whistling in the dark -- if she didn't make the promise he asked her to, he wouldn't die. That, more than anything else, made me want to cry. I knew, at that moment, he wouldn't survive. And I wanted him to! He has a kid, and a girl that he might be in love with, and a deathbed request that she didn't aquiesce to! It's not fair!
Tru wasn't supposed to save his life, just fulfill his last wish. And he didn't say "Help me," I don't think. He said something else, didn't he?
She doesn't save the heroes, does she? The firefighter died, and the soldier. Maybe because they are "doing their jobs"? Or maybe the writers haven't realized that they are killing off the heroes and just figure it's easier to do in a character in when it's one of the hazards of the profession. I like to think that there is a deeper meaning than that. Maybe.
I really did like this episode. It was just something that I would have written when I was fourteen. Actually, they improved (greatly) a story that I did write when I was fourteen. I'm sure that had something to do why I liked it.
