Christina from the AvonleaCast Podcast returns to the show to discuss this tragic and shocking 2 parter! We discuss so many things so and I hope you enjoy this discussion!
“Charles and Albert travel with the Cooper family while on a delivery. A serious accident occurs while the Coopers are going down a steep hill. The Cooper parents are killed. Charles tries to find Cassandra and James a new home. When he can’t find anyone to take them both in, he feels he has to send them to an orphanage. After thinking about this idea some more, Charles decides to take care of the kids himself for a short period.
Reverend Alden eventually finds someone to take in the kids. However, this family just wants them to work. When Cassandra and James run away, their adoptive father doesn’t even go to look for them. When Charles finds the kids, he tells them that he will adopt them if they could stand the house being more crowded. They happily agree to stay with the Ingalls.”

Kelly Mielke returns to Walnut GroveCast to discuss this epic Little House on the Prairie movie!  We discuss the common misconception that Albert died of leukemia and how odd it is that so many people misremember the same exact thing!  Is it an example of the very strange, Mandala Effect?  Who knows?!  Also, what’s the deal with climbing that mountain at the end?  
“Albert Quinn Ingalls wants to be a doctor. But soon he discovers that he is fatally ill. He decides to spend the rest of his life in Walnut Grove. Meanwhile children from school are preparing for their traditional climbing of the mountain which we have never heard of before”
