The 10 Best Episodes Of 7th Heaven, According To IMDb

7th Heaven is one of the longest-running family dramas ever. It began in 1996 on the WB and ended in 2007 on the CW. The show is revered by many and made fun of by some, and it is certainly one of the most religious dramas in existence.

The best part of watching 7th Heaven is seeing the variety of experiences the five main kids go through. The Camdens really go through the wringer a few times, but they never let their kids down. In a show with so many episodes, some are better than others. Here are the ten best episodes of 7th Heaven, according to IMDb.

10 Anything You Want-7.4

The very first episode of 7th Heaven has a high rating for good reason. The kids are so young and adorable. It's the first look at the Camden family we would spend eleven seasons watching. Eric and Annie work hard to take care of five children, and they're good kids. As the oldest, Matt tries to pitch in with organizing the group, and as the youngest, Ruthie couldn't possibly be cuter. Mary, Lucy, and Simon round everyone out.

Mary wants a kiss from her crush, and Simon prays for a dog. Lucy has her first period in this episode, which was a pretty big deal for a drama in 1996. By the way, the episode title comes from the 1989 song "You Got It" sung by Roy Orbison.

9 Choices-7.5

This season one episode foreshadows characters' future actions eerily well. Ruthie and Simon get into a little trouble at the pet shop, but Mary's misdemeanor points to her more serious fate. She meets a rebel named Camille (played by Keri Russell) in detention and makes some poor decisions.

On a more positive note, Lucy's interest in religion becomes more pronounced. She has some good talks with her dad about exploring other religious traditions before ultimately making her commitment to the Christian faith. This predicts her career path of becoming a pastor in the later seasons.

8 Dangerous Liasons-7.5

Ah, a classic two-part season finale. Dangerous Liasons (Part One) takes place after Annie's mother has passed away. She is shocked to find her father seeing someone new already.

Lucy dyes her hair light blonde, Mary explores a new romantic interest, and Matt and Heather's long saga begins. You'll just have to watch the double-header yourself to see what dramatic things happen.

7 Drunk-7.5

Fast forward to season six for a moment. The Camden kids are much older, and the title fits the bill for this one. Simon goes to a party he shouldn't be at, makes a bad decision to drink, and goes home drunk.

Mary and Lucy have some conflict as they both take college classes. Matt hears back from some of his options for medical school.

6 Letting Go-7.5

Also in season six, "Letting Go" is part of Mary's early flight attendant days. The job suits her, and she and Lucy come home pursuing relationships with twins--Lucy will marry Kevin, and Mary will temporarily date Ben. As always, there are plenty of secrets to go around.

The biggest one is that Matt and Sarah are already married, not just engaged. A little birdie named Ruthie knows all about it.

5 Halloween-7.6

This season one story deserves its good rating because it's a memorable Halloween television episode. Simon is in the church's pumpkin-carving contest, and Annie chairs the Halloween carnival.

Lucy learns not to judge a local recluse based on his reputation. Mary's plot is the best of all--she sneakily stays home on the one night everyone is out of the house at the same time, so she gets the whole place to herself for a change.

4 You Take the High Road-7.6

One season eleven episode makes the top ten list. "You Take the High Road" is about Eric's decision to tell the children about his heart (again). This is a two-parter, with the second installment titled "...And I'll Take the Low Road."

Ruthie is a despicable brat who doesn't want to leave her study program in Scotland for her dad. Lucy, on the other hand, is devastated by the developments, and Kevin comforts her.

3  See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil-7.7

Season one's "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" is an odd mix of mundanity and tragedy. Lucy and Jimmy Moon compete to be elected class president. Simon and Ruthie get the chickenpox.

Meanwhile, Matt and Annie are horrifically car-jacked at gunpoint, forced to turn over any possessions on their person. They both experience heavy trauma following the event.

2 I Hate You-7.8

This season two episode is certainly one of the most serious. Simon becomes friends with a sweet elderly woman who is also a Holocaust survivor. She is understandably upset when Simon wants to discuss her past experiences with her, but she decides to share when one of Simon's classmates is spreading conspiracy theories that he learned from his father.

To offset such a somber A story, the B story revolves around Mary and Lucy making fun of Matt's new flame, Joanne. Joanne is so upset that she dumps Matt over his rude sisters.

1 Nothing Endures But Change-7.9

The highest rated episode of 7th Heaven is season two's "Nothing Endures But Change." This one is also very personal for Beverly Mitchell, who played Lucy. Mary's relationship with Wilson deepens, and Simon struggles with his room arrangement with Ruthie.

The most devastating part of the episode is that Lucy is headed to meet up with some friends, but on the way to the restaurant, one of the friends is killed in a car accident.
