Don't know our own selves

This is one of those episodes that make you stop and think "What would I do?" Dr. Baker hires a doctor to help him out, but he doesn't know that the doctor is black. Without even realizing it, he treats him differently. Dr. Baker continues to take all the calls. He fails to show up to introduce them to the church and lies about where he is. And when Charles has to force a man to let the doctor treat his wife, the new doctor decides that Walnut Grove isn't ready for the likes of them.

Harriet does her repeat of Hester Sue. Remember when she thought Hester Sue was french and she went to meet the train? Apparently she didn't learn her lesson then...

I think it's nice that Michael Landon and the gang let a citizen who we would never suspect to play such a role. In real life, that's the way it happens.
