Whit finds Davey Morrison in his house, whose parents have a problem.
This is a pretty good episode. The perfect place to start (other than Welcome To Whit's End and
Whit's Flop). This episode introduces John Avery Whittaker and Tom Riley. And also, it introduces the town of Odyssey to the world. For adults, it teaches how divorce can hurt children. For kids, it teaches how adults say things they don't mean. Pretty good lessons. My favorite part is when Whit and Tom are arguing about an author coming to his house. The original cassette version has a guy saying that Odyssey is in Ohio. This is a big statement for
Where Odyssey is Not, but since Family Portraits is non-canon to the Adventures in Odyssey series, and this was never mentioned again, this does not count. Other things that don't count in this episode are that Whit says that he and his wife opened Whit's End as a bookstore/coffee shop/conversation house, when in 019 - Recollections, Whit opened Whit's End after his wife died, and in non-Family Portraits episodes, Whit's End is an ice cream shop/library/conversation house/discovery emporium. I enjoyed the episode a lot. I recommend this episode for first-timers.
