Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFirst acting credit for Jason Bateman on a television show.
- GoofsAlbert tried to convince the Cooper kids that the orphanage wouldn't be so bad, yet his own experience was so awful he ran away and lived on the streets in Winoka. However, later in the episode Albert tells Charles that he was just saying that to make them feel better, and explains how bad it really was in the orphanage he was in, which is why he ran away.
- Quotes
Albert Quinn Ingalls: The worst is the fighting.
Charles Ingalls: What fighting?
Albert Quinn Ingalls: The big over the little. It never seems to let up unless you can beat everybody else. I couldn't beat everybody else 'cause I was too little. I tried. By the time I ran away, I didn't trust anybody or anything. I don't have to tell you how I was. Anyway, that's what's gonna happen to them. Leastwise James.
Charles Ingalls: I'm gonna try to stop that train!
Other then a short appearance at the beginning of the first episode of Season 8, we have already seen the last of Mary and Adam (oh, and a special Christmas episode). Jonathan and Andy are making their last appearance in this episode as well. He never goes away just never appears on the show again. Actually, I believe he left to go start "Father Murphy." And we see the edition of two to the Ingalls' Family household.
I have mixed feelings on this one. I really like Albert, so I'm okay with them taking him in. He and Charles just seemed to click. But this seems to be just a bit too much. Charles falls for these two orphaned children and keep seem to give them over to strangers. He risks his life and Albert's by pulling the wagon on the tracks, having faith the train would stop in time. As the first part of this episode ends, he makes a promise to the kids that he will find them a home.
At the same time, I can see why Charles takes them in. Two little kids like that really do need a good family and people who will love them. That's all Charles really wants for them. And I can't blame him much after what Albert tells him about the orphanage. It's a good episode, but James and Cassandra didn't change the show for the better!
