What happens

Charles is away working on a telephone line crew, and little Carrie misses her father terribly. She invents an imaginary friend named Alyssa to keep her company.

Carrie's adventures with Alyssa grow more elaborate, and her family isn't sure what to make of it. A gentle episode that gives the youngest Ingalls girl a story of her own.
