Do the Ingalls See Dr Baker Again
Almanzo Got His Groove Back!
This is a sad episode about the birth and death of the Wilder baby. When their baby was born, Laura was afraid he would get sick similar her biological brother that died. She made Almanzo take her to the dr. three days in the start week. Only no dr. can predict when a babe will dice for SIDs. Still today, people don't understand why this happens. From experience, I know that this is ever mother's worst nightmare and cause for many sleepless nights during the first couple of months! I cannot even mention how many times I went to make certain my baby was still animate!
But Laura and Almanzo never expected this to happen to their baby. Laura was biting and very angry at Dr. Baker. She had to blame someone - and he was the most logical person to arraign. Mrs. Olseson - being Mrs. Oleson - fabricated certain to spread the news effectually that the baby'south decease was indeed the medico'due south fault. It effected his practice so much that Dr. Baker knew he was going to have to leave!
And then tragedy over again strikes the Wilder house. Rose is sick with fever and Almanzo goes for Dr. Baker. Laura told him she wouldn't allow it, but Almanzo overrode her option.
This is where I say this: I am SO HAPPY to run across that the sometime Almanzo is back! The think I like so much about Almanzo is his Witt and his red temper. It was then nice to see Almanzo get his voice, his temper, and his fight back. He's been then quiet throughout almost this entire season! When it really mattered, he told Laura that he was doing information technology and she didn't have a choice!
Of course, we know from history that Rose survives the small pox. The scenes are so emotional, especially since they had already lost ane child. Jenny acts more like a big sis and a cousin, which shows but how special she is to Laura and Almanzo.

"Doc Baker prepared to exit town forever--until he is confronted by the unabridged township who permit him know merely how much he means to them."
Physician Baker is called upon to evangelize the second kid of Laura and Almanzo Wilder. Information technology'southward a good for you, bouncing baby boy. Naturally, Almanzo and Laura are overjoyed to finally accept a son. As far equally names go, they are undecided. Doctor Baker continues to be an attentive doc to the babe, who seemed perfectly healthy. But, one fateful morning, when going to wake upward their new son, Laura and Almanzo discover he died during the night. Well, the happy couple turned devastated and, at the funeral the adjacent day, when Doc Baker arrived, Laura told him to become lost. She placed blame of her babe'southward decease entirely on the doctor, without much reasoning. And and so, at the behest of Reverend Alden, Md Bakery left. The doctor soon found himself snubbed by some of the townspeople, including Mrs. Oleson. But fortunately, Nels and Isaiah were however on his side.
The physician hadn't a patient in weeks. Except for an onetime human and his mule. It appeared the only matter to exercise would exist to leave Walnut Grove, after twenty years of residency. But the worst was yet to come-- baby Rose developed a bad fever, so Almanzo sent for Doc Baker, despite Laura's protests. Dr. Baker diagnosed Rose with the beginnings of small pox, which is unfortunate considering there was no known cure. It would appear she contracted the disease when the family was abroad at Redwood Falls three weeks prior. There had been reports of an outbreak. The Wilder firm was put under quarantine, the doctor set himself up in the barn, and proceeded to race against time, giving his all in treating Rose to help her overcome this fever that might impale her. For days and days on terminate, Doc Baker worked. Treating. Administering. And then, certain plenty, the fever broke. At present all they had to worry near were the blisters, which healed shortly enough and Rose was good equally new. The next mean solar day, Doc Bakery left and prepared to go out town forever--until he is confronted past the unabridged township who let him know merely how much he means to them, and Laura formally apologized, stating she was so upset over the baby'due south sudden death and misunderstanding the situation, she had to blame somebody. So at present, all was well. Doc Bakery was persuaded to stay. That'southward when Isaiah invited everybody to come inside the restaurant and help themselves, equally it would be on Mrs. Oleson.
This was a good Little House on the Prairie episode. Well acted, all the great drama the series is known for. I recently became an avid watcher. This episode is from the show'due south ninth and last season where Charles and Caroline have moved to the urban center, and now the Carters occupy the piffling Ingalls business firm on the prairie. Now about this episode, this features the third baby boy to dice on this show. The start being Charles Jr. in the kickoff season. Then little Charles Adam Kendall died in the school for the blind fire, and now, babe no-proper noun Wilder dies of unknown causes. Laura was incredibly unfair for blaming it all on Physician Baker, who did naught wrong. I know Laura didn't understand the whole state of affairs and the pocket-size pox disease, but that's still no reason to human activity like a total snob. Always since Laura moved out of her house, married Almanzo and became a schoolteacher, she has been incredibly snobby. I liked her better when she was a footling girl. She was unfair, unkind, and selfish. Laura is no better than Harriet Oleson hither.
Anyway, to all Little Business firm fans, this is a good episode and next fourth dimension it'due south on, I think yous should catch information technology. Directed by Victor French, who plays Isaiah Edwards. Isaiah is a character you could oft count on for comic relief, such as when he calls Mrs. Oleson ugly. Ha ha. This episode volition give anybody a deeper appreciation for Doc Baker, and a picayune resentment towards Laura. Bank check it out!

Some Fantabulous Performances!
The original bandage members really shine in this dramatic episode. Though Laura and the town'south reaction to Dr. Baker are a bit extreme, the reasons behind them come out in such a style that nosotros go to see the pressure level and the ignorance a small-scale town doc faced in this era - and because of Laura's childhood experience. Mr. Edward's continues to be the strength of season 9. Laura'south initial reactions and the town's - and Harriet Oleson's - support is shocking, but Nels, Edwards, and the Reverend give powerful performances to balance this and, of form, Doc Baker does as well and is only superb.

What's TV Laura Ingalls Wilder's Trouble with Nicknames? The Real-Life Laura had No Trouble with Them!
Alert: Spoilers
Laura (Melissa Gilbert) and Almanzo Wilder (Dean Butler) are excited well-nigh the prospect of having a little blood brother or sister for toddler girl, Rose to play with. Laura has an uneventful pregnancy and delivers a baby boy Dr. Bakery (Kevin Hagen) declares is salubrious. Laura is kind of paranoid because of the fact her baby brother died when she was a girl. Baby boys seem to have a trouble with longevity infant girls in the Ingalls family unit didn't have. These male infants die before their starting time birthday. Laura is scared her infant will wind up ill like his uncle and will dice. Dr. Baker reassures her that the infant is healthy and they have him domicile.
Another pressing problems presents itself though! Neither Laura, nor Almanzo nor niece Jenny (Shannen Doherty) can concord on the name for the babe. Laura takes perfectly fine names like Nathan and Theodore and points out the nicknames of Nate and Teddy for them. She says no ane e'er called her father Charlie or Albert Al or James Jimmy. Two issues with this: Laura's younger sis Carrie'south real proper noun was Caroline Celestia. Caroline is their mother's proper noun and Carrie is a mutual enough nickname for Caroline. Plus, in real-life the only son born to the Ingalls family was named Charles Frederick Ingalls and his big sisters called him Freddie. On the show, the sisters called him Charles. Real-life Laura had no problem with nicknames!
I think the reason real-life Laura's son had no proper noun was that she and Almanzo were stressed out by his illness and a name was the last thing on their minds! The infant died 12 days after birth.
On this episode, the seemingly healthy babe is called Baby Wilder and before his clueless parents can think of a name that won't be turned into a nickname, dies of crib decease. Laura is comfortless and blames Dr. Baker for her son's death. He has to redeem himself to Laura or he volition leave Walnut Grove forever. The redemption comes when Rose spikes a fever and gets very ill. Dr. Baker treats her and she recovers.
My problem with this episode comes down to the adopted sons who never existed! Laura did have a baby brother who died at ix months one-time considering dorsum in the 1800s doctors didn't have the advancements common in the 21st century to treat sick infants. The Ingalls family grieved for their expressionless babe but they didn't adopt ii boys named Albert and James so Pa could have the males he desired! Had Baby Wilder lived, I call back Laura would have picked out the proper noun and to the devil with nicknames!

Laura and Dr Bakery
Warning: Spoilers
I must have missed something. When, in the story, was Laura pregnant for a second time? Whatever the explanation, this episode goes into some morbid territory. Laura's new baby abruptly dies. Laura is devastated and blaming Dr Bakery for this tragedy. As if that wasn't enough, baby Rose then comes downwardly with small pox. This episode might have been unpleasant to watch, except for the excellent performances of all involved. Peculiarly, Melissa Gilbert and Kevin Hagen. Laura, distraught over the death of her 2nd child, seemingly turns against Dr Baker. "Seemingly" is the fundamental word. Information technology was easy to see that Laura was angry at someone she really loved and respected, because she thought Baker had failed to do something. After little Rose is cured, Laura comes back to her senses. I loved the scene where Laura apologizes to Dr Baker, and convinces him not to get out town. Laura started to cry, and she made Dr Baker cry. She almost made me weep, too! Peachy performance, Melissa Gilbert.

I really hated this episode
Laura and Almonzo's newborn son unexpectedly dies and she blames Dr. Baker. I know Laura is in grief but to nail him verbally in front end of the town saying he isn't wanted at the funeral cause the infant is dead crusade of him? I thought information technology was ludicrous. I couldn't believe what I was hearing from Laura. Side by side affair the whole boondocks of Walnut Grove is against him. Only thing I'1000 glad is Laura eventually came around and realized what a fool she has been.
