* PutOnABus: This is the last time Hester-Sue appears, and unfortunately, it is a very sad episode and provides her character no closure. Worse, it's implied the final fate of her on-and-off romance with Joe Kagan will not be resolved, either, as he was killed off-screen by the tornado last season, and Hester-Sue does not remark about it. She is just implied to lurk in the background and ship on out of Walnut Grove just like everyone else by the time of the big finale.

Added DiffLines:

* HistoryRepeats: Baby boy Wilder dies the same way as Charles Ingalls Jr, only he didn't even live long enough to be given a proper name. It's insinuated that Almanzo's sickness last season weakened him too much to provide what was necessary to make a healthy baby.
