Easter Sunday shows an egg hunt in the church grounds. Father Gill approaches Peggy who has been looking at an adorable boy. He hands her a blue egg telling her it's for her 'little one', which leaves Peggy totally confused.
A great episode directed by Tim Hunter and written by Maria and Andrew Jacuemetton, all frequent collaborators of the series. The great Melinda McGraw makes an appearance as the seductive Bobbie Barrett, adding some spice to the plot. Same can be said of the Vickie of Margarite Moreau. Colin Hanks makes an impression with his Father Gill. The rest of the regulars do their best to get the viewer interested in the different stories of this episode.
