Riley and Amanda are back, and this time things are comparatively… fine? Don't worry, it won't last.

In episode two, your Little House guides tackle what are technically Season 1 episodes one and two — Harvest of Friends and Country Girls — as they follow the Ingalls family to their new life in Walnut Grove (Plum Creek is the farmstead, Walnut Grove is the town — they figured it out, you're welcome).

Pa falls out of a tree, breaks some ribs, and then immediately tries to stack hay anyway because apparently rest is for quitters. Nellie Oleson makes her debut — complete with a wig, which apparently caused its wearer to pass out from heat exhaustion during filming. Michael Landon is shirtless more than medically necessary. And Laura delivers a speech about Ma that has everyone crying.

Trauma Meter: 1/10 (genuinely, these are some of the most wholesome episodes they've seen yet) Survivability Rating: 8-9/10 (the broken ribs are a concern, the frontier bullying less so — kids are arguably worse now)

Big Opinions: Pa working on Sunday is apparently a greater sin than missing church entirely, and Laura Ingalls continues to be the most emotionally intelligent person on the prairie. Some things are just consistent.

Grab your bonnets, and let’s go.
