In this episode, otherwise known as the “Caroline almost chops her leg off” or “Caroline’s self-surgery” episode, Caroline gets a day alone to relax and bake 15 pies but her bliss is interrupted by a near-death experience, because of course it is. She almost dies from an infected scratch which she got from Pa’s shoddy workmanship on his wagon and Rev Alden’s inability to fundraise. We try to figure out who the a-hole is who distracted Doc Baker from treating Caroline, but fail and we now realize that all old-timey guys and their sons look the same to us. We also don’t recognize cows. Timmy chimes in (no one asked) on the quality of the Ingalls’ roof and Amye accepts the challenge to set a bonfire in her field with no matches after 2 days of pounding rain.
