Overacting and dumb looks
timmcd-8420224 November 2020
Michael O'Keefe returns to Waltons Mountain in all his hammy acting glory as Chad Marshall, the forestry student we first saw in the season 4 episode "The Competition" with an eye on marrying Erin. "THIS IS MYYYYY LAAAAAAAAND," he screeches like a bizarre maniac when he shows Erin the plot of land he plans to build his house on. Erin couldn't be more thrilled, and the viewer couldn't be more bewildered at who would want to marry this insane, bellowing person. As the title of the episode gives away, their marriage plans are not approved by John and Olivia (an unintentionally hilarious scene thanks to Chad's slack-jawed reaction throughout) and they plan their elopement with predictable results. The secondary storyline treats us to Jason ineptly running Godsey's store while Ike's away, allowing shrieking, addled Maude Gormley to run up a big debt. Thankfully she's done a bunch of awful bird paintings which she sells (really?) to settle her bill.
