Synopsis

Warning spoilers ahead




My review


Mr. Edwards character been great on show for years but after his son died in this episode he has a problem and is drinking at started it is Son birthday and Grace caught him drinking in the barn this different Grace guess the other one who played her before did not return seem can of odd little anyway it was tough see him drunk and do that on his son birthday Grace had enough so she kick him out guess they write Marriage between them 2 off the show that going to be tough look back now on early episodes.



So he goes home back to walnut grove to see everybody who is happy to see him but he does not tell everybody about his problem which he should at least get help he does not and keep on drinking and drinking he even fake a cold to buy Medicine that is in form of Alcohol he is indeed out of control in big way. Later on he takes Albert to town gets drunk this as well and try to drive him but Albert falls off Wagon and gets hit bye horse hurting his leg and boy that makes Charles very angry don’t blame him he says Don’t come me or my family again that was tough to watch between them two.


After that when things doesn’t look good for him there was person left who care and it was Laura who went out there and talk to him right there was probably the best acting bye Melissa you can tell it felt like she was worried about him for real and she was so she talk to him to least try change and he accepts.


So he goes to stay with Laura and Her husband they end up put him to work and it starts to work so while babysit rose cute baby he gets a letter from Grace saying she find out guy and is Divorcing him very sad moment so he rides into town trying to again get into store which was closed on Saturdays at 2 then he goes to church and poor his heart into one of best prayers I even see it felt real great 👍🏼 moments there on tv history.



Then after that sun goes down with great music then we Charlie’s come in and ask for him to forgive it was nice touching moments there man both man acting for crying was great even made me tear up see them two once again become good friends.



Episode ends with Mr. Edwards become the god father of rose great way to end a great episode of the show. Not a bad episode first half was tough to watch him being drunk and being mean as well but then after Laura talk to him she helped a lot there as he change still had rough time but he got though and everything turn out well great episode to watch and acting in this pretty great as well this episode was fun to review as well.



That it for this episode review still more to come on any tv shows reviews for new years eve 2023


I give this episode of little house on pride a rating of 8/10
