What happens

Season 5 opens with the Ingalls family starting over in the bustling city of Winoka. Charles and Caroline take jobs at a hotel run by the overbearing Mr. Standish, and city life is a shock after the open prairie.

Before long the Olesons and the Garveys have followed them to Winoka too. Laura, used to creeks and fields, has trouble finding her place on crowded streets, and the family wonders if they made the right choice.
