In this first episode of a two-part story, Jonathan (Michael Landon) is assigned to provide moral support for Deke Larson Jr. (Ken Olandt), a promising young athlete who has been crippled in a motorcycle accident. Taking a job as a physical therapist at the hospital where Deke is convalescing, Jonathan endeavors to help the boy come to grips with the fact that he will never play pro baseball, enlisting the aid of several other people -- including gymnast Richard Halberstrom (played by Olympic gold medal winner Bart Connor) the man who caused Deke's accident -- for this purpose. ~ Rovi
