Charles surprises Caroline with a rare getaway, just the two of them, a chance to be husband and wife again instead of only Ma and Pa. While they're gone, Mr. Edwards volunteers to look after Mary, Laura and Carrie.
Keeping up with three little girls turns out to be harder than any farm chore, and Edwards' bachelor ways lead to plenty of comic trouble. On the trip, Caroline finds it harder than she expected to stop thinking about home. A gentle, funny episode about marriage and parenthood.
