However, the old man rejects Joseph because he feels angry and ashamed that his daughter married an Indian. After Joseph gets attacked by bullies in an effort to keep him out of school, his grandfather has a change of heart and shows up at the school to defend Joseph's attendance and asks that his true (native) name be used. The Ingalls family is delighted by the birth of a baby boy, Charles Frederick Ingalls, but Laura becomes jealous about the attention he receives from Charles and refuses to pray for her new brother's good health. When the baby dies soon afterwards, Laura is crushed with guilt, and Reverend Alden advises that she needs to get closer to God. So Laura runs away from home and climbs a mountain, where she prays to God that she should take the place in Heaven of her baby brother so that the baby may come back to life.
Charles Ingalls’s manly swagger was the result of special boots.

Eventually, Mary confronts Chris with her suspicions and tells him he must leave, only to find out later it was a misunderstanding. Charles later returns and finishes the new kitchen.

Season 6, Episode 16 – Darkness is my Friend
In reality it did not belong to Caroline; the plate was purchased by Laura and Almanzo to commemorate their first Christmas together. After their daughter Rose Wilder Lane died in 1968, the plate was discovered among her possessions and placed in the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home Association in Mansfield, Missouri, where it remains today for visitors to see. Early in the episode, Jed talks about how he struck it rich, panning for gold. Ironically, the same actor appeared as a character named Zachariah in Season 3’s “Gold Country”, where he was living on a bed of gold and hated the way money changed people.

It’s not likely that two years passed all of a sudden, especially since none of the children on the show have aged. Wendi Turnbaugh (a.k.a. Wendi Lou Lee) was literally a baby when she was cast to play Grace Ingalls, the youngest Ingalls child. In August 2019, she published a faith-based book about the show.
Laura gives birth in this episode after announcing her pregnancy in the previous season. She is the only character on the show who ever has a baby and goes through the actual nine-month pregnancy on the show. With Charles Jr. and Grace Ingalls, and Laura’s second child Baby Wilder, they were all born in one episode, and Mary’s two pregnancies took their full course within just a few episodes. The newer Lionsgate remastered sets all contain English, French, and Spanish audio as well as English subtitles. They do not include the special features present on the earlier non-remastered releases, but rather seasons 1 through 6 each contain a roughly 15 minute segment of a special called "The Little House Phenomenon". Season 1 also contains the original Pilot movie.
Season 6, Episode 20 – Wilder and Wilder
The show is a full-colour version of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s series of Little House books. DescriptionPregnancy symptoms hit both Laura and her mother Caroline. It turns out Caroline is not pregnant at all but is beginning menopause, and she sinks into depression. Her husband and daughters desperately try to convince her that they love her for the person she is, not for the person she wanted to be. Finally, Charles proposes that he and Caroline renew their wedding vows. At the end of the episode, the judge reveals that Mrs. Oleson has offered Mrs. Mills a job should she choose to live in Walnut Grove, and Dr. Baker will provide for the family for as long as they live there.
Episode Guide – Season 7
Her father was gay, and she worked for an AIDS charity. She told The New York Times how gay men adopted Nellie as one of their own. “I turned toward the people who were still clapping the loudest for her,” she said. She performed a one-woman show “Confessions of a Prairie Bitch” at a gay resort in Orlando and sold copies of her book at Nellie’s Sports Bar.
Laura and Manly’s lack of chemistry was a cause for concern among the producers.
A vengeful Larabee goes to the Garveys house with a shotgun, but Andy is the only one home and Larabee lashes out at him, accidentally injuring him. When Larabee leaves, Andy gets a lamp and begins looking for his mom and dad. He leaves the lamp by the barn which catches on fire. When the Garveys return home, they find their barn in flames, and Larabee is fingered as the likely culprit.
Season 9, Episode 16 “Home Again”
The fledgling business quickly becomes the target of robbers, and Jonathan becomes a deputy to support the sheriff in dealing with the villains. With help from Charles, Jonathan catches the ringleaders, but then Andy is beaten up by the gang, and the repercussions lead to a violent and tragic outcome. In this three-hour special, the Ingalls family spends Thanksgiving reminiscing their past years in Walnut Grove (via clips from previous episodes). When the circus comes to town, Nels discovers that his estranged obese sister, Annabelle, whom he was always ashamed of when they were kids, is the Fat Lady, and seeks to avoid anyone knowing this. When Annabelle visits the Blind School, Nels' shame is still apparent.
He is putting his hand all over little Rose’s head as she is screaming hysterically, and he has no reaction. It’s only when Laura takes her and feels the back of her head that they realize she is burning up. Near the beginning of the episode, Laura places baby Rose on a chair in the restaurant kitchen, then turns her back to her. This is a pretty foolish and irresponsible move on a parent’s part, especially since a baby could roll to one side and fall. While in Laura and Almanzo’s house, Nellie is clearly wearing a different wig than the one she wears for the rest of the episode. The wig she wears in this scene has curls and is much more flattering.
Nels takes a job at the saloon and they move into the rooming house next door, all of which are also owned by Standish. Based on the popular books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, the show never intended to stick with the true story of the Ingalls family. But introducing morphine dependency and the mistreatment of children took the show to a much darker place than that of the books. And while Season 9 introduced new child actors, such as a young Shannen Doherty, it also launched plots unsuitable for children - like when Doherty's character tries to end her life and Laura has to stop her.
In reading a biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder, one learns that there was indeed a summer term that ended just before the harvest, and a fall term that began when the harvest was over (sometime in October). Ruthy has been away long enough that she does not know that Laura is now married and has a baby. Surely, then, she would also not know that the Ingalls family has moved away. Yet, when Laura tells her that the Carters live in her old home, Ruthy does not question where the Ingalls went. It appears that Almanzo is not able to tell when a baby has a fever.
