Their relationship appears to be blooming, until they have a serious difference of opinion. This episode marks the first time that we see Charles Ingalls hold one of his grandchildren–Rose, who is his third grandchild. Remember that Mary miscarries her first son and her second infant son is killed in a fire during Season 6, and we never see Charles actually hold and enjoy him. Up until the very last scene, there are absolutely no children who appear in the episode. They appear briefly at the end with no speaking lines, but that’s it.

Season 6, Episode 1 – Back to School Pt. 1
Charles explains to Laura that Almanzo acted out of jealousy, which means that he is now returning her feelings for him. So Laura seeks him out at the church social, and they share their first kiss on her 16th birthday. The Ingalls, Oleson, and Garvey families are all set to return home. The families return home to Walnut Grove, only to find the town in disrepair and a dispirited and disabled Lars Hanson declining after a stroke. It is up to the townspeople to rebuild Walnut Grove and rekindle the spirit of both the town and Mr. Hanson. People clean and repair their homes as well as town buildings.
Season 7 (1980–
The blind school in Sleepy Eye has been taken under the control of the state, so Hester-Sue moves to Walnut Grove to help Caroline run the restaurant and hotel. Harriet becomes very depressed, and Doc Baker suggests she and Nels adopt, but it takes a visit from Cassandra to revive Harriet's spirits. At the orphanage in Sleepy Eye, Harriet's wish is realized when she finds a young girl named Nancy who reminds her of Nellie and of Harriet herself as a child.
Season 8, Episode 11 – A Christmas They Never Forgot
You can see that the church doesn’t have a bell early in the episode. Barney was the dog who played Jack, and even though he wasn’t a bulldog as described in the books, Michael Landon fell in love with him. He worked with the show until he passed away in Season 4. Robin Muir, who plays Miss Amy’s little granddaughter Maureen, appears again as Charles Ingalls’ younger sister Polly in a flashback sequence in Season 4’s “I Remember, I Remember“. The lake and the tree in this episode were not located in the main set area but were actually behind Magic Mountain theme park and allowed for scenes with more shoreline.

Laura begins teaching at the Walnut Grove school, but Almanzo strongly objects to the idea of her teaching after they are married, insisting that he will provide for them and will not want her to go out to work. Nellie finds out that she is pregnant, which comes as a shock to her mother. The school holds an election for school president. Mary, Nellie and Elmer (Eric Olson), an unpopular boy amongst the children, are in the running. Mary drops out of the race when she realizes Elmer is the best person for the job. Mary and Laura begin their first day of school at Walnut Grove and meet their school teacher, Miss Beadle (Charlotte Stewart).
When a new girl arrives in school who looks like a rival, Laura decides she must compete for him by giving up her 'tom-boy' behaviour and becoming more like Nellie. Charles and Jonathan unexpectedly win the freighting contract, but, as they celebrate and make big plans, they realize that it would involve them not seeing their families for long stretches of time, so they refuse the contract. When Laura's new strategy does not work, her Ma persuades her that she should be true to her real self. Eventually, Jimmy does notice her as a girl, and Laura has her first kiss with a boy. When boxer Joe Kagan's career seems to be going nowhere, he chooses to continue boxing rather than keep his family with him.
Season 8, Episode 20 – A Faraway Cry
In the Hero Township horse race, Laura and her horse Bunny go head-to-head with Nellie and her new Thoroughbred, which Mrs. Oleson has bought for her, against the wishes of Nels. Laura has to battle all kinds of adversity and needs a pep-talk from her Pa when she begins to feel sorry for herself. However, Nellie does not properly prepare for the race, so the stage is set for a close finish.
However, her late-night studying causes a fire in the barn, resulting in Caroline forbidding her to take the examination, but Mary decides to take the test anyway. When Caroline finds out the truth, she prepares for a showdown with Mary, but there is another surprise in the offing for her, and mother and daughter are reconciled. Charles’ character goes down a road that we have not seen in previous episodes, at least not in this way.
Season 1, Episode 20 – Child of Pain
On the TV series, the two of them were close for the most part, but in episodes like this, Eliza Jane is rude, disrespectful, and not always kind to Laura, which is how Laura portrayed her in real life. 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 1970s people were beginning to talk openly about social issues and family problems that had previously been considered private. This is one of many episodes that deals with a sensitive social issue.
Nels brokers a truce between Benjamin and Harriet with the suggestion that a boy should be raised in the Jewish faith and a girl should be raised as a Christian. When Nellie gives birth, she unexpectedly has twins, a girl and a boy, so Nellie and Percival agree to raise their son Benjamin as Jewish and their daughter Jennifer as a Christian. Laura and Albert work hard to harvest honey from a beehive after making a deal with Mr. Oleson, who said he would buy it at 30 cents a pound. Meanwhile, Adam wins a teaching award and must travel to Minneapolis to receive it, but they do not have enough money for the trip. Laura and Albert offer to sacrifice their earnings from selling the honey to cover most of the cost.
A majority of the episodes in the original North American DVD versions had scenes cut from the episodes—these were derived from the syndicated television versions by Worldvision Enterprises, the series' former distributor. Other episodes (especially in Season Eight) were time compressed and are NTSC-converted video prints from UK PAL masters, while others were derived from 16MM syndication prints, also from Worldvision. Only a handful of episodes in the original sets were in their original uncut versions. The first three seasons of the old sets notably are also missing closed captioning. Almanzo proposes to Laura, who accepts, but Charles insists that they should not marry until Laura is eighteen.
Either this episode covered a very long period of time, or Laura managed to teach sign language to Daniel extremely quickly. While it’s natural for people to learn basic conversational signs, like “Hello,” “How are you? ” relatively fast, it can take several years to talk back and forth in the magnitude that the characters did here. Charles and Caroline supposedly graduated from school. However, Laura mentions in “Back to School, Part 2” that Charles dropped out of school at age 12 to be the “man of the house” and help support the family. For the first time in this episode, we hear Almanzo’s full name.
