Kindly African American man Sam Terhoun arrives in Walnut Grove looking for work, but it's obvious that he is searching for much more when he stops by to visit his ex-wife Hester Sue. After being burned several years ago by his excessive drinking and gambling, Hester Sue refuses Sam's obvious attempts to rebuild their relationship, but with the sweet and gentle-natured Sam making all kinds of friends in town, it's getting harder and harder for Hester Sue to ignore him. In time, she agrees to a friendship, which then quickly blossoms into rekindled love. Just days before they are to get married again, a dangerous secret about Sam is discovered by Charles, but nothing can prepare anyone for who ends up knocking on Hester Sue's door the day of the wedding.moreless

      • It seems awfully out of character for Harriet Oleson to grab Sam (a black man) by the hand in excitement after the work he did for her, then insist he eat at the restaurant for half price a couple weeks in a row. Based on her stinginess, plus her shaky past with racism, having an African American gentleman eating for half price in her restaurant for days on end seems highly unlikely.

      • Up until the very last scene, there are absolutely no children who appear in the episode. They appear briefly at the end with no speaking lines, but that's it. The same goes for Laura and Almanzo.
