However, when she wants her compliant husband elected as mayor, she encounters unexpected opposition from some of the town's oldest inhabitants. Charles, Albert, James and Mr. Edwards travel to Sleepy Eye on business. James, wanting to open a savings account with his birthday check from Uncle Jed, walks into the bank as it is being robbed. James is shot and critically wounded, and the doctor tells Charles that the injuries are potentially fatal. Charles and Mr. Edwards, and later Albert, against Charles' orders, set out to track down the villains.
And, just because: here’s disco Half-Pint as we never saw her in Walnut Grove.
Albert starts to spend all his spare time training with Gambini, but is brought down to earth when one of the daredevil's most dangerous stunts goes wrong. A female campaigner for the equal rights of married women comes to Walnut Grove, looking for signatures on a petition to be submitted to the state legislature. The men are all reluctant to sign, including Nels, who is in the middle of another big disagreement with Harriet. Charles and Almanzo also oppose it, even though they believe in equality and joint ownership in their own marriages.

The Olesons prepare to move also and close the mercantile. At the last church service, Mary shares her testimony with the congregation. She has accepted her condition and is ready to go on with her new life with Adam in Winoka. While out fishing, Laura finds a bottle in the creek with a note inside that reads "Be my friend." She eventually persuades Charles to help her look for the writer of the note, but instead they find an abandoned baby. Laura looks after the baby, whom she names Grace, while Charles tries to find the parents.
This episode has the exact same storyline from Bonanza, Season 14 Episode 10, “The Sound of Sadness,” which was also written and directed by Michael Landon. Right before Patrick Labyorteaux (Andrew) gets assaulted, you can hear him whistling, “Oh! Susanna.” He also sang this song with Laura, Mary, and Carrie in Season 4’s “The Wolves” when they were in a frightening situation.
Sylvia's father decides that they must leave Walnut Grove. Mrs. Oleson spreads the news around the town, suggesting that Albert is the father. Sylvia and Albert meet secretly and plan to elope. To raise money, Albert gets a job with the town's blacksmith, Irv Hartwig (Richard Jaeckel). When Mr. Webb finds out that Sylvia is still seeing Albert, he grabs his shotgun and goes to the Ingalls' house. They manage to convince him that Albert did not make Sylvia pregnant, but Sylvia has run off.
The real-life Laura Ingalls was 45 years old by that time. In previous episodes, a trip to Sleepy Eye by wagon was about a day’s journey, and three days to Mankato. Now, Charles and James seem to get to and from Minneapolis – almost double the distance to Mankato – with just one overnight stop each way. It is unlikely that the people of a Midwestern town in the 1880’s would have tolerated a restaurant operating on Sundays.
Anticipating a bumper return from his wheat crop, Charles is devastated when a hail-storm flattens all the crops in the area. As a result, he has to travel away from home to find work and make some money, and meets up with Jack (Don Knight) and Jacob. Jack has a job as a powder monkey in a quarry, and enables Charles and Jacob to get work there too, where the hard and dangerous work is well paid. Meanwhile, with the men away, Caroline organizes the local wives and children to salvage what they can of the wheat, using only their manual labour. When Carrie notices that Albert and Charles are home with James and Cassandra, she runs into the house screaming to her Ma that they’re back. ” But that wouldn’t make sense since Ma is the only one there.
Molly uses it roughly 12 years before it was written. Watch for an unintentionally hilarious moment near the end of the episode, when Almanzo punches Perley Day and knocks him down. There is a very loud (and obviously fake) punching sound, and Perley just kind of falls slowly and gracefully to the ground.
You have to really watch because they only show her face for a second. In the TV show, Laura wants to be a teacher as a way to impress Almanzo and show that she is more grown-up, and before she meets Almanzo, she wants to do it to emulate her older sister Mary. However, the real Laura Ingalls Wilder started teaching so she could contribute financially and help keep Mary enrolled at the Iowa College of the Blind. This was all detailed in Wilder’s seventh book, Little Town on the Prairie. Actress Hersha Parady (Alice Garvey) credits this as one of her favorite episodes.
Realistically, farm communities at that time had no telephone service whatsoever. Even though the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876, it was not legally recognized until the 1890s. Royal tries to bribe the boys to be good by offering them an Indian head nickel, which is a “buffalo nickel.” Those weren’t issued until 1913. Harriet and Nels say they own their town’s telephone system. However, this was not possible in the 1880’s. Small towns did not have switchboards or telephone systems until after 1893 when Alexander Graham Bell’s patents expired.
He decides to move them to the Ingalls family barn when he learns farmer Jud Larabee wants to shoot them, believing that they are the ones responsible for killing several of his sheep. Carrie goes along with Laura and Mary when they go out collecting insects for a school project, but Carrie wanders off and falls into an abandoned mine shaft. As the townspeople battle to find a way to rescue her, Lars Hanson clashes with the man he blames for the death of the woman he loved. Laura has a crush on a new boy in school named Johnny Johnson, an older student in her class (Mitch Vogel) but Johnny only wants to be her friend, while he is romantically attracted to Mary who has no interest in him. Laura's jealousy leads to her accusing Mary of deliberately encouraging Johnny and they fall out. Caroline and Charles both have quiet talks with Laura to restore harmony in the family.
Sarah becomes jealous over the blossoming friendship, until Ruthy reveals her that she is dying. Jason makes plenty of happy memories with his friend before her death. James remains comatose after a successful operation to remove the bullet. Charles refuses to accept Doc Baker's prognosis that James will not recover, because he believes God has told him James will be healed. When his family and friends question if he is losing his grip on reality, Charles takes James away into the woods, and builds a shelter and a stone altar. Refusing to leave until James recovers, Charles prays to God for a miracle.
