Tropes associated with this episode:

  • Cute Mute and The Speechless: Joshua, the younger of the two brothers who are about to be split up.
  • A Day in the Limelight: Short-lived character Houston Lamb, the cantankerous caretaker of the School for the Blind's Winoka site, takes center stage for the only time.
  • Don't Split Us Up: When numerous families want to adopt the older of two brothers (the older one being stronger, thus being a good farmhand) but not the younger one (he's mute and has multiple disabilities, thus having no value to them), Houston makes a decision that he hopes will mean the two brothers will stay together.
