medical school. After catching up with Diana Barry and other old friends, Anne visits Green Gables. She is horrified to find that since Marilla's death (in the third season of Road to Avonlea), the owners have treated Green Gables so poorly, that it is falling apart. Later, Anne is reunited with Gilbert on the island.
