snowflake challenge #6 (due south episode: North)

snowflake challenge 6: Share your favourite piece of original canon.

North is an episode about friendship and forgiveness and father/sonhood. About feeling alone until you've got your buddy. God, it's so good. It's like this little encapsulation of what the show means to me.
If you never watch any other episode of Due South, watch North.
(edited to add) Ray and Fraser are in a plane crash and then stranded in the wilderness.
Fraser is temporary blind so he has to rely on Ray (Vecchio). The ghost of Ray's father tells him to 'cut [Fraser] loose'. But Ray is a better man than his father was.
There's a whole plot about catching a fugitive, too, but that's not as important as...
There's SINGING. There's singing while RAY CARRIES FRASER over his back. It's just wonderful.
It's a wonderful episode.


You can watch it for free on youtube.

That's one of my favorite ways to watch characters bonding. Thank you for sharing that.

I'd forgotten about that episode, but this post brought it back to me. It was a great episode all about how they won't leave each other behind.

Such a good episode - I can't listen to California Dreaming without thinking about this episode.
