Season 3 / Episode 15: - The Birthday

Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] During the time when I was growing up on Waltons Mountain, I heard whispers and rumors about a woman named Victoria Madden. Some claimed that she was dead, others said that she had simply run away from a bad marriage. Whatever happened to Victoria, she left behind a daughter, her name was Nancy, and when my brother Ben became attracted to her, he had no idea of what the consequences would be.
