The Ma and Pa Cast.

Laura ends up trading some work for a last of it's kind goat.  Laura loves Fred but the rest of Walnut Grove not so much.  Can Laura get the people of WG to see the good in Fred or will Fred be run out of town or worse yet become dinner for Mr. Edwards?  

It's Halloween night and some weird things are happening in Walnut Grove.  Laura thinks she sees Nels chop Harriet's head off.  Nels doesn't help things by acting super creepy and things deteriorate from there.  Plus we recap our chat with Patrick Labyorteaux aka Andy from Little House.  Plus plus Meg has a new "cheesecake" recipe.

Carrie falls into a well after accompanying her sisters on a butterfly catching trip.  The whole town pitches in to help but its ultimately a man with a troubled past that is able to bring Carrie back to her family.

In the exciting conclusion to Bunny, Laura and Nellie square off in a race to determine equine supremacy.   Naturally Laura has to work extra hard while Nellie expects everything to be handed to her.  Harriett is up to her old ways and it ends up biting her in the butt.  Plus Meg and Matt recap the last few weeks and Meg drops a surprise(even for Matt) announcement.

This is the one that spawned a thousand memes.  Nellie hurts herself falling off her horse.  She's a little banged up but otherwise ok.  Never the one to let the truth get in the way of opportunity though,  Nellie fakes being paralyzed in order to gain the sympathy of everyone in Walnut Grove.  Her plan works for a while but ultimately Laura finds out and gets her revenge in one of the all time classic Little House scenes.

Johnny Cash!  Need we say more?  Ok.  Johnny and June play Caleb and Mattie, a couple down on their luck.  Caleb thinks their prayers have been answered when they take in Rev Alden after an accident.  Caleb passes himself off as a reverend friend of Alden's.  His plan is to collect money from the people of Walnut Grove to help a neighboring town that had just been wiped out by fire and keep it all for himself and Mattie.  Things don't go exactly according to plan, as this is Walnut Grove, and Caleb is so moved by the towns generosity that he gives up on his plan and leaves the town with considerable donations for the town in need.

After a tornado wipes out the Ingalls entire crop, Charles decides he's not strong enough to start over again.  He starts to wonder if God has forsaken him.   Enter Matthew and Anna Sims.  The former owners of the Ingalls farm are looking to come home again.  In the process of selling Charles realizes Walnut Grove is the best place for the Ingalls, something the Ingalls women had known all along.  

Granville Whipple returns home after 12 years.  He's a successful musician and war hero but he also carries the weight of addiction.   Will his mother and his new friends in Walnut Grove be enough to help him overcome his demons?

The good people of Walnut Grove are planning a Centennial celebration.  The town clerk has other ideas.  A property tax hike leaves the town reeling and feeling like there is little to celebrate.  Enter Yuli, a Russian immigrant.  Yuli and his family lose their farm to a tax sale but that doesn't stop Yuli from teaching the people of Walnut Grove a valuable lesson in gratitude and humility.

Charles wants to get some new china for Caroline.  Seems innocent enough.  In order to keep it a surprise though he has to tell a few lies and that's when things get interesting.  Is Caroline worried about nothing or is Charles getting a little too cozy with the widow Thurman?  Plus Meg tries to talk Matt into adding to their animal collection and a picturesque town of the week.
