I loved this episode! Mrs. Bink has trouble around the house and gets Matt to do stuff for her, but doesn't want people to know, especially the Reverend. Mary and Matt cut class because of her. Lucy has her 13th birthday and has trouble with Jimmy and Dwight. Happy has her puppies and Simon and Ruthie take care of them. All of this plus Eric tries to help a homeless family. Putting the family with Mrs. Bink was a wonderful idea! Lucy's birthday at the end was so happy! I loved every minute of it! This episode receives a 10 from me!moreless

This is a great episode. There was some sad parts like when Mrs. Binks fall off her chair while she is trying to get her money. This show also deals with things that would actually happen in real life like when Lucy turns down the boy who ask her to his party. The thing thats wouldn't really happen in real life is when Matt and Mary skip school and don't get in trouble. My favourite part was when Mrs. Binks calls the high school and Matt and Mary have to go because they school thinks she is their sick aunt.moreless

I had been watching 7th Heaven in repeats for some time, but when I saw this special episode, I become an instant fan. It's sweet, heartwarming, touching and funny -- a classic example of how a well-written 7th Heaven episode should be.

The final scene, in which the family gives Lucy her presents for her 13th birthday, is very special and touching. Get the tissue for this one! Meanwhile, Matt helps Mrs. Bink around the house... unbeknownst to his parents. Eric offers housing to a family living in their van, but they insist that he have faith and just pray for them.

Now THAT is classic 7th Heaven!moreless

I like Matt and Mary skipping. Lucy was a jerk. I liked it that she had a party. I loved the scene at the end. Beverly was great in this epesode. It was sweet when she got the picture and the locket. I like Ruthie's hoowey pass. I am glad we got to see a childs birthday.
