A young orphan boy, Sam, stows away in their wagon and becomes a key player in the search and its happy outcome. Charles and Caroline visit Walnut Grove and are pleased to be able to stay in the 'Little House' when John and Sarah Carter go out of town. Then the townspeople learn that a land development tycoon, Nathan Lassiter (James Karen), has acquired title to all the land in Hero Township, which they had believed to be homesteading land. When Lassiter arrives to claim the town, he finds all the town buildings dynamited, and the townsfolk leave to start new lives elsewhere, as many of them have done before. He is forced to relent, however, when he is told that the leaders and businessmen of other nearby towns, having heard what happened in Walnut Grove, announce they will do the same thing.

Mr. Edwards leads a harried but courageous effort to save the two men's lives. Laura is tricked into adopting a "unique" billy goat, named Fred, but he quickly becomes unpopular when he helps himself to the Ingalls family's crops and exhibits a particularly unpopular behaviour. Laura is instructed to get rid of her new pet, but that proves to be difficult. Nellie has been mistreating Bunny, who was Laura's horse until she sold it to Mr. Oleson (in "Christmas at Plum Creek").
Episode list
When Almanzo sees her after her first week, he begins to think he may have romantic feelings for Laura, which confuses him. So he invites Laura to a church social and is taken aback when she says she'll think about it. Later he comes in while one of her students is showing her how flexible the rib cage is, and thinks that the student is kissing Laura. Almanzo punches the student out of jealousy then thinks he has no chance of Laura falling in love with him. Charles explains to Laura that Almanzo acted out of jealousy, which means that he is now returning her feelings for him.
Wild Nights on the Prairie with Ray Ellin
The show features guests and conversations regarding life lessons learned from the iconic TV show, which lasted nine seasons. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, we asked this “prairie head” to run down his definitive 10 episodes. He starts to take over her newspaper, demand that she and the family move back to New York City, and causes other problems for Sarah and the rest of her family in their own personal lives.
Nels Oleson is usually the voice of reason throughout the series, especially in contrast to his wife. In this episode, however, when Elmer is over for dinner at the Olesons, Nels allows Willie and Nancy to laugh at Elmer’s voracious eating stunt and doesn’t tell them to stop. It’s as if Nels doesn’t know what to say, whereas in other episodes when Harriet is away, Nel usually jumps at the chance to discipline his children. In Season 8 of “Little House on the Prairie,” which ran from 1981 to 1982, we get to relive some of the most endearing moments and see some significant changes in the little town of Walnut Grove. Season 8 is the last season with the focus on Charles and Caroline Ingalls and their family’s life. "In the late summer of 1889", Almanzo and Laura's newborn son dies overnight from no obvious cause after having been proclaimed healthy by Doc Baker when he delivered him.
Season 8, Episode 22 – He Was Only Twelve Pt. 2
The episode sees Todd Bridges of future Diff’rent Strokes fame guest star as Solomon Henry, an 11-year-old who is the first member of the family not born into slavery. Solomon tells his mother he wants to learn to read and write and go to school, which his mother (Maidie Norman) and brother (David Downing) explain isn’t realistic. Solomon runs away and ends up hiding on the back of the wagon being ridden by Charles Ingalls (Michael Landon) and Dr.Hiram Baker (Kevin Hagen) to Walnut Grove. When Harriet Oleson’s niece Kate (Anne Archer, who played Michael Douglas’ wife in Fatal Attraction) comes to visit Walnut Grove, she and the much older Doc Baker fall in love fast. Ellin always found it interesting when the main characters leave the Grove for a trip to the big city where they are fish-out-of-water and do things like ride elevators.
Despondent Doc Baker retires after the death of a farmer who refused medical attention. Townspeople rescue a mute boy whom a carnival owner has been using as an attraction. Mrs. Oleson's prejudice troubles a former circus dwarf who is trying to raise his daughter alone.
Isaiah promises to care for a dying man's "child" -- a baby orangutan. Mrs. Oleson's gossip column praises her family and infuriates her neighbors. The Ingallses, Garveys and Olesons return to find Walnut Grove in a shocking state.
Later, through working two jobs, Almanzo becomes gravely ill with pneumonia. She goes to care for Almanzo and, with the matter of the 'other woman' cleared up, they make up. After Almanzo's recovery, Charles tells him and Laura they must wait one year [rather than two] before they marry. Meanwhile, under Percival's tutelage, Nellie learns to cook and be pleasant to her customers, and when he is about to leave she tells Percival she loves him. After her earlier insults, it is what Percival has been waiting for, and they marry the next day.
When Eliza Jane asks Laura if she believes in love at first sight, Laura hesitates before saying, “I suppose.” In Season 6’s “Back to School”, she takes one look at Almanzo and immediately knows she will marry him one day. In Season 7’s “The Lost Ones, Part 2”, James shares that his biological father had taught him not to steal. Yet, James seems to resort to stealing when desperate or terrified of punishment. He plans to take Tompkins’ money before running away with Cassandra (but does not get the opportunity). In this episode, he steals a razor from the mercantile to cover up breaking Albert’s razor after using it without permission.
Many of the exterior shots of Walnut Grove and the other Minnesota towns shown in the series include noticeable mountainous terrain in the background scenery. In reality, however, the southern Minnesota landscape where the show is supposed to take place includes no tall mountains. According to Laura Ingalls Wilder’s posthumously-published book, The First Four Years, the final installment in her 9-book series, it was actually a fire that destroyed her and Almanzo’s home. Also, the special “Give us this day our daily bread” plate really did exist, and it was one of the few things that survived the fire. In reality it did not belong to Caroline; the plate was purchased by Laura and Almanzo to commemorate their first Christmas together.
