This would be Karen Grassle's last appearance in the series proper, as Caroline Ingalls. She would not feature again until the TV movie special,"The Last Farewell ", which concluded the story and series.
Last show broadcast under the "Little House on the Prairie" title.
The only time Michael Landon physically resembled the real Charles Ingalls with an (admittedly stick-on) full beard.
The episode won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore).
Last appearance of the Ingalls and the Cooper children living in the little house on Plum Creek
