Newlyweds Laura and Almanzo have been having some relatively harmless arguments lately, but it reaches a whole new level when Laura suspects that he’s cheating on her, then decides to leave him. Elsewhere, Charles is the proud owner of a beautiful new glass window, but installing it is a little more challenging than he anticipated.
Fun Fact!
When Almanzo runs into Brenda Sue for the very first time, he gives her a perfectly normal, “Hello, how are you doing?” He goes on to say that he hasn’t seen her in months. It was clear that Brenda Sue was an unexpected out-of-town visitor in this episode. If an old friend walked up to you out of the blue after all that time, wouldn’t you be surprised to see them? The way Almanzo greeted her, you would have thought that he saw her every day of his life.
Did you know?
When Laura says to Brenda Sue, “No, you witch! I found out!” and pushes her down, you can see that Melissa Gilbert (Laura) is on the brink of laughter, but they cut the camera away from her face just in time.
More Trivia!
Notice the black, jagged imprints of dirt that are caked on Laura’s face when Caroline pulls her away from Brenda Sue after their fistfight. Those marks are much lighter and positioned differently in the next scene when Laura and Caroline are talking in the restaurant kitchen.
