This episode fails and it is particularly painful because it could have been good.
I very much like the science fiction elements of it – and, apparently, much research was done about what would happen if an 8 yr old child lived as a feral creature for 10 years and suddenly came back. No thought, however, was put into how the parents would react. I would imagine that Colm Meany and Rosalind Chao just thought it pointless to fight on behalf of their characters – their abandonment of their child is an abomination. Feh on this poorly written episode.
