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. Later on, Mr. Webb notices that Sylvia has mud on her shoes and he demands to know if she was with someone that day. Sylvia begs for her father to back off, but suspecting that she may be sneaking around, he calls her a liar.

They learned to churn butter, blacksmith and use a washboard. They toured a replica of the Ingalls' house, the Oleson's Mercantile, and the one-room school house. Harriet Oleson has learned from Mr. Webb that Willie was among the boys peering through Sylvia's window. With her characteristic outrage, Harriet reprimands Willie, but is somewhat placated when Willie promises her that he didn't see anything. Fueled by leading questions from his mother, Willie claims that Sylvia is deliberately enticing all the boys at school. Outraged, Harriet calls a school council meeting, before which Sylvia must appear.

Just then, the ladder breaks under Sylvia's weight and she falls to the ground, losing consciousness. Irv, unconcerned that someone was just badly hurt, picks up a piece of lumber and prepares to strike Albert. He is stopped, however, by a shotgun blast from Hector Webb, who arrived in the nick of time with Charles Ingalls. Which is where Sylvia is sleeping, when the masked assailant who had previously raped her sneaks in quietly.

Season 4 Episode 18 “The Inheritance”

Throughout its runtime, Little House on the Prairie had no shortage of chilling scenarios unfold in its episode. Mary Ingalls alone experienced several lifetimes worth of trauma at her young age. But the episode “Sylvia” manages to stand out remarkably for its mature themes, content, and visuals. Indeed, an attacker dressed as a mime was enough to give all viewers chills – as evidenced by the shocked reactions and warnings they issued online. Former boxer Joe Kagan moves to Sleepy Eye and offers his assistance with the maintenance of the blind school while Adam and Houston are out of town. Joe is clearly in love with Hester Sue, but she refuses to get involved.

He donated all money fans paid for autographs and photos to the charity. "I had a whole spiritual journey for maybe 20 years, I’ve worked in finance on Wall Street, lived in Manhattan for a long time," Gilbert, 56, says. Arngrim, 62, has written a best-selling book, "Confessions of a Prairie Bitch" (which is a must-read for "Little House" fans) and has turned the book into a one-woman show.

My mom would see it first, and then she'd like, throw it away. [Laughs] I was getting fan mail from San Quentin, from convicts. It was either convicts or religious people that wanted to save me. Because of Little House, I have this really weird fan base. "The thing that was great about it was that it was a dramatic role. So, it was great for me to show my chops," Barash tells EW. But four decades later, viewers still can't stop talking about her turn as Sylvia Webb.

Charles is despondent and decides to move his family back to their old house in Wisconsin. This is technically a two-part episode where there is a drought and Almanzo Wilder (Dean Butler) loses his crop and the land. Laura suggests she take a teaching position to help them earn money for a new farm, but Almanzo objects and postpones the wedding.

This episode sees Charles elected to represent the farmers of Hero Township at a Grange convention in Milwaukee. At the same time, Caroline gets an invitation to the 25th high school reunion in the same city, so they travel there together. Ellin turned this devotion into a weekly podcast Wild Nights on the Prairie with Ray Ellin. The show features guests and conversations regarding life lessons learned from the iconic TV show, which lasted nine seasons. Celebrating its 50th anniversary, we asked this “prairie head” to run down his definitive 10 episodes.

As they meet up with old friends and revisit their favorite childhood places, they rekindle the romance and find a way to grow closer than ever. Meanwhile, Albert steps up to take care of the farm, and Laura and Almanzo have their hands full with Carrie and Grace. When she is raped, her father becomes shamed and keeps it a secret.

Charles and Albert return to Walnut Grove after Albert has repeated run-ins with the law for curfew violations and theft. It’s soon discovered that Albert is hooked on morphine, which increasingly causes him to become violent, and eventually leads Charles to take drastic measures to help his son withdraw from the drug. Eventually, Charles, while on a business trip to Sleepy Eye, discovers the truth about Danforth’s method. He performs a hustle from town to town, with the same three people in the audience pretending to need saving.
