What happens

Nellie is about to give birth, and Percival's father, who is Jewish, comes to Walnut Grove for the big day. He and Harriet immediately clash over how the baby will be raised.

Nellie gives birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the families reach a compromise: the boy will be raised Jewish and the girl Christian. A warm, funny episode about faith and family.
