The Waltons: The Abdication
Running Time: 60 min.

John-Boy (Richard Thomas) is reunited with professional writer A.J. Covington, who had served as his inspiration in an earlier episode (originally played by David Huddleston, Covington is here enacted by George Dzundza). The author has returned to Walton's Mountain with a Hollywood production crew, which is filming one of his screenplays. Unfortunately, Covington seems to have no "ear" for the way that mountain people really talk, so John-Boy is asked to help rewrite the script--with surprising results. Meanwhile, Mary Ellen (Judy Norton-Taylor) develops a crush on a handsome member of the film crew (Stephen Collins). All this intrigue is somehow connected with the real-life drama of King Edward VIII's abdication from the British throne. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
