How many times does that girl have to keep falling for Nellies crap? It's amazing how naive she is and how naive Charles has been about the world over the seasons.

Little House on the Praire has a weird universe. People's metrics and attitudes dramatically change, but in a fashion that adds to the entertainment value.
For starters: Just a dozen episodes ago we saw the Ingalls parents send their daughter Mary away to study with the two recently-moved-in strangers, who'd turn out to be the notorious outlaws James Brothers. But in this one, Charles makes a big deal of how the other daughter, Laura, can be found in the Wilder home with Almanzo, making him use his fists.
It seems like they have provided the characters with flexible values, precautions and instincts depending on what story they were willing to push.
This one is good because it's not tragic or heavily moody like some previous ones, but quite well-pacad and fun overall, which I believe serves best the main aim of the series.
And significant also because it tells us what exactly has made Laura welcome Beth, the name shortened version of her middle name Elizabeth, in the first place - because in the following seasons one might get confused as to why it's only Almanzo Wilder who calls her so.

In my opinion, Almanzo is what makes this season great!
When the first part of this episode ended, Nellie was losing her mind after Laura put pepper on the chicken instead of cinnamon. Caroline pulls her daughter out of school and demands she go to apologize to Nellie - who is still crying. But when Laura was told she'd be apologizing to Almanzo next, she ran away saying she wouldn't do it. She did eventually when her father told her she could go on her own.
Nellie gets Laura back really good by lying to her about how much history is in the education certificate test. The famous mud-scene is shown.
I really, really like this two-part episode. We learn the personality of Almanzo, though his treatment of Laura is a bit odd. He, a mere stranger, gives Laura a kiss on the forehead for good luck. He takes Laura to his house and let's her change into his robe. Though it's a bit odd, it works for me because it creates situations that drama is made for! It's almost like Almanzo knows Laura has a crush on him and is so flattered he plays along with her. Oh well, whatever the cause, it makes for good entertainment!

Both Charles and Laura we're blaming Nellie for what happened with everything but in this instant I blame Laura. She first did a very wrong thing with Nellie when she put all that pepper in the food in the previous episode. And Nellie got back at her with lying about the exam. But Laura started it.
And I can't understand why she kept insisting she was a woman at 15 years old. And no one seemed to want to discourage. And in thee d Charles was very forgiving of all the wrong she did and saying I love you. I think she should have gotten a whipping. I find they used to be too lenient.

Good real life stuff with just the right amount of humor and drama to keep things real... 🍰🍮
