Charlie and Mac are out camping when they rescue a native American lady, Sara, and her baby from a crashed car. She claims men are after her to take her baby away.
Mac, Charlie, and Sara spend a lot of time running around the woods. Feeding a hungry bear jam. Climbing up a dangerous cliff with the baby in Mac's backpack. Not the brightest idea.
Charlie sees Mac taking care of the baby and comments that he would make a great father. Mac says it's not for him with a slightly sad look on his face. He has a flashback to a party in the roaring 20s. He's in love, yet again, this time with Nora. Nora wants Mac to marry her and have children with her. Mac tells her he will never have children.
Immortals can never have children. To them and Mac, it makes them so sad. But I wonder how they would feel if they could have children. Then watching their children grow up and die, and perhaps having it happen over and over again. Then watching their grandchildren die and so on. I guess I understand why that is one of the qualities of being immortal. It actually makes sense as we can see with what happened to Sara and how devastated she is.
It turns out the baby doesn't belong to Sara. She is having a breakdown. Her baby died and she blames the men, Hoskins, because their mine gave her baby mercury poisoning so she took, Avery Hoskins' son. Everything is resolved and one of the bad Hoskins' brothers gets his just desserts.
The story was another A to B. Kinda dumb I thought to try and bring the baby up the cliff. I gave the episode a 6/10.
