Little House on the Prairie

This episode includes the first time in the series in which Laura wears her hair up in a bun (albeit during the dream sequences), as opposed to the pigtails she usually wore, or letting it down.

It's interesting that, with all the reading Laura did, she apparently never came across a reference to Fool's Gold. True, her history textbook may not have contained a reference to it, but it is odd that the same textbook would include techniques for panning for gold (especially since people were still panning for gold during that period, so it would hardly be a historical reference worthy of inclusion in the book) without mentioning the existence of Fool's Gold.

This is absolutely the only Little House episode where the Oleson family is seen as dirt poor, and it is only in Laura's dreams! Also, in these dream scenes, we see the Ingalls family filthy rich, walking around Walnut Grove in gorgeous, fancy white clothing that is topped by nothing else that the family wears in the entire series, even when they've got their Sunday best on.
