Following the aftermath of the Fourth of July fire at the Saloon, The Walnut Grove Expats are making a u-turn and heading back home to Hero Township. Saying Goodbye and leaving Mary in Winoka, the Ingalls invite Albert to come along with them.  Upon returning to Plum Creek, it's in need of some major TLC as does the entire rest of the town of Walnut Grove.  However, to really fix the town up Doc Baker, who's stayed this entire time, says they will need to fix the heart of the town; Lars Hanson who has suffered a stroke and is giving up on life. Refusing to let the town die after they've just returned, Charles and Company set out to gather a crew to clean up the street of Walnut Grove. Not only that, on a supply run to gather inventory for the mercantile Mr.Oleson runs into and invites Reverend Alden to stop by and say a prayer in town.   The population of Walnut Grove doesn't appear to have diminished too much, the economy/mercantile is back open, there are enough kids to open the school and they even have an option when it comes to hiring a teacher, Walnut Grove just might have a heartbeat.  But, will this be enough to get Mr. Hanson out of bed? Is Harriet educated on ALL the wares and inventory of the Mercantile or only the items she find interesting? Will Alice Garvey try to get her job back as the Post Mistress?   What is Albert's first impression of Walnut Grove?
