What happens

When a patient dies, Doc Baker blames himself and quits medicine, trying his hand at farming instead. A new doctor arrives, but he's cold and uncaring.

Charles sets out to convince Doc Baker that Walnut Grove needs him. A touching story about guilt, purpose and community. The episode gives Kevin Hagen's Doc Baker a rare turn at the center of the story.
