Synopsis: Winter in the high Sierras can be harsh, one of the most difficult aspects being the removal of deep snows that come often and heavy. The constant need to clear the area around the house, barn and other out buildings was exhausting and very time consuming. Thus, a teenage Adam with the unintentional inspiration of his new, young, enthusiastic, if unaware teacher, devised what he envisioned as the perfect method for quick removal of all the snow, alleviating the need for shoveling every few days. The story chronicles the result from a recent history lesson gone awry.

Synopsis: In the episode Triangle, Adam is engaged to Laura but is so busy building her a house she feels neglected. Will gives her all the attention she needs, and she ends up falling in love with him. We are led to believe in this episode that Adam gives her up willingly, that he never really loved her. “After the Fall” gives this story a different interpretation. For those of you who like to believe he really did love her, as I do, you will discover here what goes on between the scenes of the episode after he falls off the roof of the house, how he feels about the incident leading up to letting her go, and how he recovers both the full strength in his legs after he stands as well as how he recovers from a broken heart.
