With things at Plum Creek being peaceful, you know it's time to stir the pot. Enter Fagin, a young calf in the back of the wagon, who is gifted to Albert, from Charles, to help teach the both of them about livestock. Albert takes special interest when he learns he could win a prize at the upcoming fair by how well he raises the calf. As Albert and Charles spend more time together, Laura is once again feeling like a third wheel..and sometimes like a spare. Things finally erupt when Laura, egged on by Nellie Oleson, expresses her frustration of feeling, once again, she is losing her Pa to...a brother.  When word of this is overheard by Albert, he decides to move on/runaway leaving Laura to take Fagin to the competition at the fair.   Prior to the final round of judging for Fagin, Albert is spotted, chased, and finally, caught by Charles. And together they return to see Fagin with a blue ribbon and Laura accepting the award on behalf of her brother. Now that Albert calls Charles Pa and Laura his sister, will he really stop peaking from behind the curtain? Could Harriet have gotten any ice from the ice storage across the way for Nellie's eye or was using a the steak as a cold compression her way of showing off her wealth?  How much do you think the Ingalls will get for Fagin at auction?
