To See the Light (Part One)

An explosion changed the Kindle family's life forever! Adam is badly injured and in the hospital. Caroline and Charles rush to be with their oldest daughter as she frets about her husband's life. But when Adam wakes up - it turns out things are good...very good! Adam can see! As soon as he's out of the hospital, he takes Mary on a ride to see the vivid country side and to run. But soon he makes more discoveries about the sighted world. He'd wanted to be a lawyer before he lost his sight (I'd say there's a blooper here since I believe he was injured when he was a young child).

Mary begins to feel like Adam's leaving her behind. He takes her to a fancy party and she's left sitting on a bench most of the day. But we soon discover what Adam's dream is. When he tells Mary, she goes along with him fulfilling his dream, but she's still very afraid of what it all means.

Meanwhile, back in Walnut Grove Nellie gets in deep trouble with Percival when he catches her eating ice cream and pickles (pickles with whip cream). After overhearing Percival telling Nellie he doesn't want her to end up fat like Harriet, Harriet goes on a diet. Only the results are really quite humorous!

A two-part episode, I watch it with a bit of sadness knowing that this is the beginning of the end for Mary and Adam as soon they move away from Walnut Grove and leave the show (I believe this is their last season).
