Get ready for a wild ride everyone, because there’s a lot going on with Miracle in Lane 2. It’s a story of a young boy dealing with a serious illness, and how it affects both his life and the lives of those around him. Sometimes he manages to deeply inspire people he meets, and then other times people will say possibly the most awful things you’ve ever heard to a disabled child. Will the family be divided, or will they be brought together by the experience? Oh, and then also he decides to take up Soap Box Derby racing. Though I assure you that isn’t as important to the story as you would think. So come along and join us as we try to unravel this tapestry full of subject matter that was way too complex for Disney Channel (and us too to be fair) to try and tackle.
Lucas just feels bad about everything and remembered things wrong.
Emma incepts Ayn Rand into the show and gives a lesson dramatic reading.
