You can tell that it was written by white men. Who else would write a story about a white man owning and beating a Polynesian woman only in the end to have her go back to him and take care of him? Throughout the entire episode he dehumanizes her and treats her like property. Even the way the character is written is racist. She's less concerned about her own well-being and more intent on being with the man who beats her and treats her like a slave. One of the worst episodes of The Big Valley.
