What happens

Laura is determined to prove she's grown up, and she takes an early exam hoping to impress Almanzo. Bad advice from Nellie leads her to fail.

Nellie spreads a nasty lie about Laura and Almanzo, and Charles, believing it, punches Almanzo before learning the truth. A comedy of errors that sets the tone for season 6.
