Road to Avonlea (1990)

Episode Overview

“Rollings Reliable” is hosting an essay contest to celebrate the town's mothers. Sara chooses to write about Aunt Hetty, but Sally Potts and Felicity mock her, insisting that only a “real” mother qualifies for the contest. Discovering that Sally and Felicity were born on the same day and delivered by the same doctor, a playful Sara teases them by suggesting they were switched at birth. Both girls and their mothers fret over the idea, eventually realizing that being a mother is defined by who raises a child, not just by giving birth. Felicity submits Sara’s discarded essay, leading to Hetty’s victory.
