The parents admit that Lisa is still a bit confused: she has two homes, two wardrobes, two sets of rules, and two sets of friends, neither of which has fully accepted her because of her part-time living...
...play where she reaches out to take Merrick's hideously gnarled right hand in hers, the emotionally charged impact equals the scene in The Miracle Worker where Helen Keller first comprehends the sign for water.
