I love Little House on the Prairie and I liked the first part of this episode, I thought it was much better and it was more exciting, and I have no issue with the miracle in this episode, I don't really see anything to dislike with that, I just think it could have been done better, Little House has always believed in miracles and miracles do in fact happen in reality but rare obviously. My issue with this episode was two things, firstly I just couldn't buy this being Jason, It should have been Albert, Charles going through all this effort and unable to accept what happened, I can't buy this for Jason, not only did he only adopt him a year ago but Jason had very little screen time so we did not see the importance of him to Charles or the bonding like we did see many times with him and Albert, Albert is the son he never had and always wanted, he is the one I would believe Charles would lose his mind in grief for but I just don't buy it for Jason, sorry. I also agree with those saying this is against the series, as this series does always teach us to accept what can't be changed and the fact that nothing would make Charles accept it and he utlimately wanted to change God's plan for Jason.....again if this was Albert I could understand but it just seemed so farfetched for it to be Jason, I just don't feel much for Jason or Cassandra, we didn't see enough of them to care that much, I don't really consider them part of the Ingails, sorry but I don't, they came too close to the end and were in very little, they just weren't Albert so it just didn't work for me. The fact that Charles gets a miracle for Jason but not for Albert in the movie is annoying to say the least.
When I started watching all the seasons of Little House on the Prairie my dad always told me one scene he always remembered in it and it was actually the miracle scene in this episode (I feel like he remembered it more because of how farfetched it was rather than because it was so good but that's how my dad is lol) anyway, he did always remember this BUT he thought it was Albert, my dad hasn't seen this since the 80s so he had it in his head that it was Albert who he prays for a miracle for and so I was expecting it to be Albert which is another reason I am dissapointed with it, in fact Jason and Cassandra were so irrelevant in the story that my dad doesn't even remember their existence so again, this episode might have been a lot better if it was for Albert, or Laura or Mary or Carrie.
