This was a heartbreaking story about the history of indigenous people having their children forced into residential schools. It was hard to watch but yet so compelling. This show really opens your heart and mind to look at your own biases and blindspots. Loved this episode, however it is hard emotionally to watch as there is no resolution for Ka'kwet and her family.

You know how now a days you 'watch' a show while doing something else on your phone? Well this episode was SO gripping...it had my whole attention! It plays with your heart and makes you feel very frustrated... In a very very good way...
Bad scriptwriting

Warning: Spoilers
This seems to be scriptwriting by numbers: let's create as much confusion and contrived "problems" between Anne and Gilbert, and drag their flaccid love story for one more episode, while "real" tragedies are taking center stage.
The saga of the Natives goes on, with more drama and injustice piling up (as to be expected, since all white people are evil, except Anne and her inner circle) and let's add a very predictable inter-racial love story, which probably was set to be the centrepiece in the next series.
What better to shock the conservative than having Anne's clone, Miss Stacy, falling for widower Bash? Because everybody knows how much women love to be step-mothers and liberal Miss Stacy really just wants to be a step-mum... but what about her feminist stance? Luckily for us, the scriptwriter will never have to face this major contradiction.
Anne hysterics really go OTT in this episode, which I watched only to keep company to my husband, but every line uttered by Anne felt like nails scratching on a blackboard.
