  • Title: Quarantine
  • Season/Episode: Season 3, Episode 13
  • Air Date: January 17, 1977
  • Director: Victor French
  • In Little House on the Prairie’s “Quarantine,” a deadly mountain fever outbreak in Elmsville prompts a strict lockdown in Walnut Grove. Isaiah Edwards, believing himself immune, escorts Dr. Baker to the afflicted town but fears he’s brought the fever home when his adopted daughter, Alicia, falls ill. Racked with guilt from a past epidemic that killed his first family, Isaiah isolates Alicia in his old cabin. Laura Ingalls, ever the compassionate troublemaker, sneaks raspberries to Alicia, only to mistake poison ivy for fever spots and join the quarantine, fearing she’s infected. As Isaiah collapses from exhaustion, Laura tends to both him and Alicia. Charles braves obstacles to fetch Dr. Baker, who reveals Laura’s “fever” is just a rash. Alicia recovers, and the town breathes a sigh of relief, proving that love and a good misdiagnosis can conquer even the scariest frontier plagues.
