The families return home to Walnut Grove, only to find the town in disrepair and a dispirited and disabled Lars Hanson declining after a stroke. It is up to the townspeople to rebuild Walnut Grove and rekindle the spirit of both the town and Mr. Hanson. Lars Hanson summons his final strength and appears before the townspeople to thank them for revitalizing the town he founded.

The lavish hotel room that Charles and Mary stay in looks like the exact same one that Laura and her niece, Jenny, use in Season 9’s “Once Upon a Time.” This famous “fountain” is used as a prop in many of the Chicago scenes. Michael Landon loved to use this fountain over and over again throughout the series, whether the characters were visiting Chicago, Minneapolis, or some other large city. The life of a 19th-century Minnesota farming family, seen through the eyes of the middle daughter Laura. The family endures a fire, attacks by native Americans, and disease. Many asked Charlotte Stewart to pose in the replica of the school house where she had played teacher, Miss Beadle.

However, Laura persuades him to stay, and he works on the farm with Almanzo and sobers up. But after more bad news, Mr. Edwards ends up in church where he prays and talks to Rev. Alden, who brings about a reconciliation with Charles. Laura and Almanzo's daughter Rose is baptized and Mr. Edwards becomes her godfather. Doc Baker hires a highly qualified doctor named Caleb Ledoux, but is disconcerted to discover that he is black.

They had wanted to marry but she was taken away by her strictly religious father who is deeply embittered because his wife went off with another man. Fearing his reaction, Anna had managed to keep secret that she was pregnant and even that she had given birth, but then realized that she could not keep the baby while staying with her father. Bobbie takes Anna back with him, while her father chooses to stay alone in the woods. Anna is reunited with her baby, telling Laura she will keep the name Grace. Caroline orders Laura to care for her dog, Jack, before going to town to greet a newcomer, Kezia Horn (Hermione Baddeley), who lives in the ruins of a house.

After her earlier insults, it is what Percival has been waiting for, and they marry the next day.

Charles takes her to an optometrist and she initially appears to need stronger lenses, but the vision still worsens a few days later.

Laura Ingalls was born in 1867, two years after the end of the war. If this episode takes place in 1876, she should only be nine years old, but in this episode, she is about 11 years old. Kevin Hagen, “aka” Dr. Hiram Baker, was born in Chicago and his parents were actually professional ballroom dancers. Before acting, he went to law school first, then obtained a degree in International Relations and was employed by the U.S. Although Mary and Carrie fall face first into the dirt while running to the barn, they are completely clean when they enter it. Did you notice all of the background noise in the scene where Charles stops by home for a quick visit?

Rev. Alden falls in love with a member of his congregation and marries her, but almost comes at a cost when Mrs. Oleson attempts to tear their relationship apart, distressing the Reverend to illness. Ray Bolger returns as the happy-go-lucky-who-turned-bankrupt Toby Noe. He is staying with the Ingalls family, eating them out of house and home, when the spirited spinster Amanda Cooper catches his eye. Toby sets out to win her heart, but she is determined to keep him at arm's length. Meanwhile, Laura has a crush on schoolmate Jason and, with Albert's counsel, tries to get him to notice her.

However, her late-night studying causes a fire in the barn, resulting in Caroline forbidding her to take the examination, but Mary decides to take the test anyway.
