Review of Memory Has as Many Moods as the Temper

This episode will never not make me burst into tears. It shows a story of hardship between brother and sister, Marilla giving her life to take care of her family after Michael's death. Matthew is not one to show affection often, but his genuine love for his sister is clearly seen in his interactions with Marilla as he takes care of her for once.

As someone in the lgbtq, this episode is such a beautiful tribute to how we experience love. Aunt Josephine and her love for Gertrude is truly inspiring, as well as Cole's immediate comfort in her home. The way Cole confides in Aunt Josephine talk about love always moves me to tears. It shows the actuality of lgbtq love throughout history, even if it's not a major plot of the show.

Anne and Cole both find themselves at the party as they meet these incredible people very unlike those at Avonlea. Anne sees many different paths in life and accepts everyone at the party with bursting curiosity. Cole regains his passion for art and leaves knowing that there is a better life outside those he is surrounded by at home.

This episode is truly a masterpiece and a breath of fresh air from the lifestyle and routine we see from Avonlea in the rest of the show.
