A Walton Easter

In 1969, John-Boy is a TV news anchorman in New York and he is in the throes of writing a new book. He and a very pregnant Janet are making plans to return to Walton's Mountain for the celebration of John and Olivia's 40th wedding anniversary. Accompanying them to see the place John-Boy lived as a child is Aurora, a TIME magazine photographer who is doing a story on John-Boy. Meanwhile, Elizabeth returns from her travels and announces to Drew, who is still working at the mill with Ben, that she is home to stay. She is very upset to find that Drew did not wait for her, and that he has a new girlfriend.
